In the context of 2025, as game developers are striving to push the boundaries of creativity, a new project is making waves in the gaming community.
The title is Mimesis – the latest product from ReLU Games – which is causing quite a stir among gamers as it utilizes advanced artificial intelligence technology to replicate human speech and actions of players in real-time.
For those who are not familiar, Mimesis is a cooperative survival horror game that allows players to explore haunted areas to gather materials and resources to repair a derelict spaceship – the only escape from this eerie environment.
At first glance, it may sound familiar, but the gameplay hides a fascinating twist: players can duplicate each other’s voice and actions perfectly. According to the official description on Steam: “Can you tell who is who? With the latest technology, these will be the elements that keep you on your toes.”
During the day, players must quickly gather resources and repair the spaceship. However, as night falls, the atmosphere shifts, and if the spaceship ceases to function, malevolent entities mimicking players’ voices may emerge. The concept of trust becomes crucial as players navigate through obstacles while maintaining their sanity. A description on the game’s page reads: “I hope it doesn’t last too long. I used to trust my fellow players. But can Mimesis perfectly replicate a human? Can the person next to me truly be a friend?” The need to share resources within the group intensifies psychological pressure. When everyone must rely on each other to survive, trust turns into a rare commodity – and a mistake can lead to catastrophic outcomes.
Although the development team has not disclosed specific details about how the AI captures and replicates voice and player movements, the information regarding a closed beta testing phase has garnered significant attention. Players can sign up to participate before June 2nd to be among the first to experience the exhilarating survival challenges that Mimesis offers.
