A Mimicry of Life

Our take on A Mimicry of Life

Reviewed by the LetsPlayFree editors ·

A Mimicry of Life is a top-down pixel-art story game with a horror streak. It is set in 2057, when a team of scientists, geologists among them, travels to the North Pole to examine a strange asteroid that crashed there.

Why are some people behaving weirdly? The story drives the game, so you explore, talk to people and interact to find answers. You move with the arrow keys, sprint with Shift, interact with Z or Enter and pause with X.

Story is the point here, so reading dialogue carefully and exploring every area helps you understand the mystery. The pixel art and horror elements give it an unsettling atmosphere.
