About A Mimicry of Life

A Mimicry of Life is a top-down pixel adventure with horror and interactive-fiction elements. In 2057, a group of geologists and scientists travels to the North Pole to investigate a strange asteroid. The expedition becomes unsettling as people behave oddly, blood is absent, and memories from before the trip are unclear. The game builds its mystery through exploration and interaction, asking you to piece together what happened rather than relying only on action.

The strange setting makes ordinary movement feel investigative. You guide the expedition through the story, examine the situation through interactions, and deal with uncertainty surrounding both the asteroid and the people nearby.
