The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A classic pursuit horror game where you're constantly stalked by an unerring monster while scrambling to collect pages in a moderate map.

What players say

Players describe It Mimics as a very short, one-dollar horror game inspired by Slender: The Eight Pages, where you collect 8 clips in a forest. Opinions are split: some see it as a rough but honest first effort from a beginner developer, while others call it essentially unplayable and poorly made. Multiple reviews note that the developer went silent after the release.
