Game overview

FNAF: Secret Of The Mimic channels the Five Nights at Freddy's formula into a tense survival-horror escape through a dark, abandoned pizzeria. The titular Mimic is a shape-shifting threat that wears familiar faces, which means the animatronic shambling toward you might not be the one you think it is. Between monitoring cameras, rationing flashlight power, hunting for keys, and solving environmental puzzles, every night becomes a careful balance of information and nerve. It is a fan-flavored take on the franchise's greatest hits with an escape-room spine.

Best suited to horror fans who love the Five Nights at Freddy's style of surveillance-based survival. Note: an unofficial fan-style experience, not affiliated with the FNAF franchise..
