Quick Answer: What Is Mimic Party?
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.

The Release Story: 30,000 Wishlists, Out the Same Day
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 โ 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 โ our updates page tracks each silent build drop. A TikTok clip with six hundred thousand views is one of the moments players credit for the snowball.
Reception: Why the Reviews Are Mixed
At about 43% positive across 280 reviews (our snapshot: September 11, 2026), Mimic Party sits at Mixed โ 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 September 8 check. 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.

Hear the reference sound, imitate it in one take, get scored by the local AI and let the wheel decide what happens next.
