Mimicry Man is a freeware Mimic simulator by Kazusa Norakumo made in RPG Maker 2000. Ultimately, it's a puzzle game.
The Dark Lord has tasked Mimicry Man with defeating the Hero, just because.
To lure him, he'll ultimately need to obtain the Solar Sword the Hero seeks.
And Mimicry Man knows only one technique: show people what they want, then ambush!

Supported Platforms
The game's engine is made for Windows only, with no native support for other platforms.
The multi-platform EasyRPG Player mimics the behavior of RM2K and RM2K3, but may not always be exact. (Make sure to treat the Data folder as the game folder, not the containing folder.) Also, for Macs, you can try a general-purpose tool like WineBottler.
Troubleshooting
Make sure to extract the game to its own folder instead of running directly from the ZIP file. If you don't do so, any saves made will be lost the next time you run the game.
If you get a DirectDraw error, right-click the EXE, go to Properties, Compatibility, and try other compatibility modes.
