About
The untamed wilderness of Alaska is beautiful, cold, and unforgiving. As a high-profile fugitive on the run, this desolate landscape is your only hiding spot, with your dog as your sole companion. But in these woods, the peaceful silence is a lie. The environment is not just your hideaway—it is the hunting ground for something that belongs here more than you do.
"The Pale Mimic" is not an infinite survival game; it is a linear, narrative-driven horror experience with a definitive beginning and end.
Your cabin is your only refuge, but safety is an illusion. On most days the core of your existence is hunting large game just to survive a little longer, with only brief respite at the cabin to plan your next move. On other days, the forest will have unexpected surprises for you.
When outside, the hunt begins.
When food runs low, you must venture into the frozen forests, where your dog is your guide and key to tracking anything. What starts as a simple hunt for game quickly turns into a struggle for survival. You will track, kill, and butcher large game, but this process is far from easy. As you stalk your prey, something is watching. Keep your wits about you, lest the hunter become the hunted.
You must bring the meat back to survive, but the creature is waiting for you to turn your back on the woods. It is fast, strong, and relies on a terrifying form of mimicry to lure you out. As a stalker, it prefers to avoid direct confrontation. It might mimic your dog’s whine to make you open the door, the sound of prey to trick you, or a familiar voice to lure you into a trap. Out here in the middle of nowhere, imitation is the highest form of horror.

Игра очень класная но короткая добавте пожалуста дополнения или режим выживания будет круто
Отличный представитель инди-сегмента, который можно пройти буквально за полтора часа. Игра оставляет после себя приятное послевкусие, но один момент в подаче сильно портит впечатление. Что понравилось: Атмосфера: Вайб заснеженной зимней глуши передан великолепно. Чувство, что в этой глухомани точно обитает всякая нечисть, держит в напряжении. Было интересно, жутко и моментами действительно страшно. Подача лора: История подается легко и увлекательно, вникать в сюжет — одно удовольствие.Прикольная собака: Отдельный плюс за четвероногого друга! Что откровенно взбесило: Молчание главного героя: Персонажей в игре толком и нет — по сути, идет только связь гг со своим единственным контактом. И вот этот контакт озвучен отлично, а наш главный герой просто молчит. В итоге вместо живого диалога приходится постоянно ЧИТАТЬ реплики гг с экрана. Задумка автора с молчаливым погружением тут явно провалилась, и такое чтение в атмосферном хорроре просто бесит. Итог: Очень неплохой камерный хоррор на вечер. 7 из 10.

This game is far too linear. There is absolutely 0 sense of danger while out hunting due to the fact that you KNOW nothing will happen until you do the boring daily routine. It could've been so much cooler if the enemy was a physical presence in the game's world.
Great graphics and storyline progression throughout the entire game! Still yet have to find secret ending, but I enjoyed it and definitely would recommend for anyone looking for a short and sweet horror playthrough! Shoutout Rocky 💪

I personally really enjoyed this game, for 10$ Canadian well worth the price, story was actually good too.
Good game! Was this done by a single dev? Would have potential to expand, given enough time/resources.
The Pale Mimic only just came out the other day, and after playing it I properly loved the atmosphere, the detailing, the nice graphics and the story. Yeah it’s a short one, and it can drag a bit at the start cos there aren’t really any big jump scares, but it’s so vibey and atmospheric. Really enjoyed the plot and the ending, and especially that dog - proper cute, beautiful husky. Highly recommend everyone gives this one a go.
Je suis vraiment surpris de voir autant d'avis positifs sur ce jeu. La majeure partie de l'expérience se résume simplement à chasser de la nourriture avec son chien. Même les moments censés être « effrayants » ne font aucun effet et ça vient de quelqu'un qui a pourtant la frousse facile! Ça ressemble à un jeu de survie ennuyeux, sauf qu'il n'y a même pas de vraie mécanique de survie puisque tout est complètement linéaire et scripté. Le gameplay est ultra répétitif et devient lassant très rapidement. Bref, c'est un jeu vide et sans grand intérêt. La seule chose réussie, c'est qu'on peut flatter le chien.
Pretty decent and somewhat relaxing horror game. Narrative was interesting and I really loved spending time with rocky in the wilderness. Cons would be that some of the animations are pretty janky and the creature isn't that scary visually. That being said there's definitely creepy moments and a few decent jump scares. Also it's pretty easy to 100% if that matters. Worth the price imho
