Details

Overview

Mimic Busters is a fresh take on the hidden-object genre, blending party-game chaos with a clever disguise mechanic. Developed by DevAdam and Tape Corps, and published by GameDev.ist, this online multiplayer title launched on October 15, 2026.

The core loop is simple: you're either a sentient cube (a Mimic) or a hunter (a Buster). Mimics must blend into the environment using basic 3D modeling tools, while Busters use their eyes and ears to sniff out the fakes before time runs out.

Highlights

Model and Paint Your Disguise: Use an intuitive set of 3D modeling tools to shape and color yourself into any prop you see. No prior modeling skill is needed—if the Busters buy it, you're safe.
Risk vs. Reward: Mimics earn double points when hiding near MBI agents, and larger models score more points. This encourages bold, creative hiding spots rather than just shrinking into a corner.
Online Co-Op and PvP: The game supports single-player, multiplayer, and online PvP, making it a flexible choice for both solo practice and chaotic group sessions.

Who It's For

If you enjoy party games that reward quick thinking and a sense of humor, Mimic Busters is a strong fit. It's perfect for friends who love to bluff and outwit each other, or for anyone who enjoys the thrill of hiding in plain sight.

The low barrier to entry—no modeling experience required—means even casual players can jump in and start crafting disguises immediately.
