The online multiplayer hide-and-seek game splits players into Mimics, who 3D-model themselves into forms resembling surrounding objects, and Hunters, who try to spot them. It is priced at 570 yen during a 38% launch discount through October 30, down from 920 yen.","whyItMatters":"The modeling tool is the mechanic, not a cosmetic extra: Mimics build their own hiding forms from cubes, so the game's skill ceiling sits in player-made shapes rather than preset props.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eMimics begin each round as a plain cube and shape and paint themselves into something that resembles the objects around them.
