Update Notice (6/15)
Hello, Survivor.
**A major update goes live on June 15. **
Built on the feedback you've sent us, we've gone beyond simply adding content and rebuilt the core play experience of Mimesis from the ground up.
For the smoothest experience, please ** update to the latest build **. If the update doesn't start automatically, verify the integrity of your game files.
1. ** Game Cycle Overhaul**
*The whole rhythm of a run — set out, and return to the Service Station — has changed completely.*
**One more day? Or the Station? ** — Once you've gathered enough scrap, you can head back to the Service Station whenever you like. Push for more or turn back — the call is yours.
** Two roads, no right answer — and rising contamination. ** — Maps are now chosen by two things: danger and resources. But contamination climbs every day until you reach the next Service Station.
** No rescue is coming. ** — If all four of you go down, it's game over on the spot. There is no next day.
2. ** Mimesis 2.0 **
Mimesis has evolved another step.
** An evolved Mimesis ** — Mimesis now deceives and attacks you with a wider range of behaviors and voices.
** Who are you, really? ** — Can you be sure the one talking right beside you is actually a friend?
3. ** Mimesis Possession **
** Let the dead speak. ** — While spectating, you can possess a nearby Mimesis and speak through it. Now a full feature, out of the Lab.
** Borrowed time. ** — After a while, or once the Mimesis moves too far away, the possession ends. The next one takes time (cooldown).
4. ** New Map Themes **
** New places ** — Existing areas have been reworked, and new ones added.
** New Service Stations ** — New Service Stations have been added. Be sure to visit them all.
** Gear up and last longer. ** — You won't meet every area early on. The longer you survive, the more new options reveal themselves.
** Forbidden Zone ** — An unknown Forbidden Zone has surfaced. A blessing, or a disaster. Put your luck — and your skill — to the test.
5. ** 6 New Monsters **
Six new monsters join the cast. We don't recommend walking up to say hello.
6. ** 4 New Gimmicks **
** Swinging Tire ** — Watch only the floor and you'll pay for it. Keep your eyes up and ahead.
** Bear Trap ** — And yet there are bear traps on the floor. Keep your eyes down, too.
** Phone ** — Somewhere, a phone is ringing. Who could be calling?
** Fortune Machine ** — Feed it scrap and test your luck.
7. ** 4 Equipment Upgrades **
The Service Station can now upgrade more of your gear.
** Toy Puppy → MockHound ** — Instead of barking, it records and plays back your voice. Got something to say? MockHound will pass it on for you.
** Electric Flyswatter → Stunner ** — No more swinging. Switch it on and charge in.
** Shotgun → Double Barrel Shotgun ** — Capacity goes from one shell to two. For everyone who always wanted just one more.
** Teddy Bat → Amped Bat ** — Adds a big, wide power swing. It hurts whoever it hits — but it sounds great.
8. ** New Action **
** Throw Scrap ** — You can now throw most one-handed scrap.
9. ** Quality of Life & Presentation **
** Emoji Ring ** — Press Q to bring up the emoji ring and pick the reaction you want in an instant.
** Richer Audio ** — New ambient sounds make exploration feel fuller.
** UI/UX Improvements ** — General UI/UX improvements.
10. ** Etc. **
** Balance Adjustments ** — Overall game balance has been adjusted.
** Tram Upgrade Change ** — The hanger has been removed from the tram upgrade options.
** Danish Support ** — Danish has been added. Screams don't need subtitles, though.
** Baritone Chicken Skin ** — A new skin for the Chicken. Granted to every survivor to mark the update. Details in the [event announcement](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2827200/view/699893179027031768).
**⚠️ Save File Notice **
Because this update significantly changes the game's structure, ** existing save files can no longer be continued.**
