🎮 Mimic Party Game Info - Steam, Developer & More

Mimic Party is an online voice party game by FoliesAPP, a French independent studio, built in Unity and released on Steam for Windows on August 27, 2026. Each round the whole table hears a reference sound, everyone imitates it with their voice in a single take with no re-record, the takes play back one by one, a local AI scores each performance out of 100, and a wheel of bonuses, multipliers and sabotages spins for everyone before the next round. A game runs about ten minutes. The one purchase requirement nobody can skip: a microphone.

Mimic Party's launch is a small indie folklore story. The Steam page went up and collected five thousand wishlists in its first five days — the studio celebrated with a news post titled "5,000 WISHLISTS IN 5 DAYS. WHAT." On August 27 the counter passed thirty thousand, and instead of sticking to a schedule FoliesAPP pulled the trigger and released the game the same day. The days after tell the rest: an "All Characters" DLC landed on August 28, the studio announced fifty thousand copies sold on September 5 while thanking players for "the patience with the bugs", and builds have kept landing on the public branch without written patch notes. A TikTok clip with six hundred thousand views is one of the moments players credit for the snowball.

At about 46% positive across 253 reviews (our snapshot: September 8, 2026), Mimic Party sits at Mixed — but the split has a clean shape. Negative reviewers had played an average of 57 minutes: enough to hit the launch-window wall of connection failures, microphone detection and scoring complaints, and refund. Positive reviewers averaged 135 minutes: they brought friends, treated the score as a party gag rather than a referee, and stayed. Around five hundred eighty-nine players were concurrent at our snapshot. Our honest read: the concept and the Workshop ecosystem land; the launch window itself is what split the score. The troubleshooting section of this site exists precisely because of that gap.
