MIMIC ALERT — Update 1.05

Hey everyone!

I'm really happy to share the first official update for MIMIC ALERT! Thank you to everyone who has already played the game and supported the project. Here's what's new in version 1.05.

NEW MIMIC: THE WALL

  • Added a new mimic that can appear starting from Site 2.
  • It may appear as part of the building structure, blocking a corridor.
  • Its presence and behavior may differ from what you remember seeing during the day.

SUPPLY STAND PROGRESSION

The Supply Stand inventory now unlocks progressively as you advance through the story:

  • From the start: Ammo
  • After Site 1: Bear Traps and Body Armor
  • After Site 2: Electronics Scanner
  • After Site 3: Flash Grenades
  • After Site 4: Scanner+

Previously purchased equipment remains available in your kit.

BET ON THE SHIFT

  • Added a new betting option at the Supply Stand before starting a shift.
  • The bet costs 30% of your current credits, with a minimum of 100 credits.
  • Surviving the shift returns 2× the bet amount.
  • Failing the shift forfeits the bet.
  • Limited to one bet per shift.
  • In co-op, each player places bets independently using their own credits.

SITE-BASED REWARD SCALING

Shift and task rewards now scale with site progression, increasing from ×1.0 at Site 1 to ×2.4 at the final site.

FINES INSTEAD OF FAILED SHIFTS

Mistakes now result in credit penalties instead of immediately failing the shift:

  • Shooting staff: Once mimics begin hiding among the staff, shooting a person results in a fine. The shift continues.
  • Shooting cats: Shooting a real cat results in a fine instead of failing the shift. During a "pet every cat" task, the cat is marked as completed.
  • Shooting furniture: Results in a fine, as before.

The penalty point system has been removed from the co-op campaign.

All fines are now displayed in the center of the screen, showing the reason for the penalty and the amount deducted.

OTHER CHANGES & FIXES

  • Gambino the Clown now tells one joke per conversation.
  • Fixed an issue where shooting a cat that had already revealed itself as a mimic could incorrectly fail the shift for "killing a cat".
  • Fixed an issue where a co-op player could become stuck browsing the Supply Stand if their partner started the night.
  • Updated game version to 1.05.

Thanks for playing MIMIC ALERT, and stay alert!
