Where to get it

What it is

Mimic Busters is an online hide and seek game in the prop hunt style. One team plays Mimics, small living cubes that hide by turning into props: you pick something in the room and copy it with simple 3D modeling and painting tools. The other team plays Busters, armed agents who have to find the Mimics before time runs out.

Mimics squeak every 30 seconds, and every shot a Buster fires costs health, so spraying the room is a bad idea. Besides the main mode there is Guess the Mimic, where one player models a secret word and everyone else races to guess it, and Mimic Deathmatch, plus standard Solo and Team Deathmatch.
