Mimic Hunt

Mimic Hunt is a 4 months Master 2 project made on Unreal, between October 2024 and January 2025 !

GAME CONCEPT

Mimic Hunt is a four player cooperative online FPS in which you hunt dangerous and fierce creatures.  It takes inspiration from other games as Lethal Company, Prop Hunt & Phasmophobia for mid to hard-core hunters seeking a high-quality, thrilling, and scary experience with funny social interactions.

The Mimic Hunters earn money by killing mimics, which are dangerous parasites that hide inside human belongings. During their hunt, they have to face very unique and fierce enemies : the Mimics. The rule is simple : 

ANYTHING CAN BE A MIMIC. 

They will hide, trap and challenge you at all costs. With a team of up to four hunters, each member will be equipped with guns and gear. Their team must cooperate and strategize without descending into chaos and, hopefully, survive.

Their daily life as mimic hunters bounces between scary and grotesque situations.

GAME LOOP

You will start in the headquarters, which serves as a HUB to join and invite friends. You can also choose from 3 items at your disposal : a Mimic Whistle, to have sound feedback on their position; an Ice Spray, to slow down the mimics, and an Ammunition Box. Split the items, discuss tactics, and you can enter the truck to join the house !

Once you enter the house, you scout the house for visual or sound cues of mimics. Once you found a mimic, try to kill it before it kills you ! Stay close to your friend, don't run, and communicate as best as you can in order to survive your hunt !

You can get a glimpse of a run below if you like, but if you want to keep the surprise, skip this part.
