The idea behind Mimesis stems from Aristotelian philosophy. Mimesis means the inventive and conscious act of creating a potential and objective reality. The world created through Mimesis is an autonomous whole, not ruled by the laws of the real world. It is capable of strongly playing on and moving the emotions of those receiving it, and its influence leads to Catharsis. Catharsis, according to Aristotle, is a feeling of mercy and fear. It allows the one who feels it to reach a state of inner peace and acceptance of their fate.
Mimesis Online is a role-playing game which transports you to a world where the borders between reality and illusion do not exist. An unimaginable catastrophe on a cosmic scale transformed this world, playing havoc with the natural order of things, twisting everything, even time itself, wiping out civilisation as we know it. For the Universe itself, everything changed and nothing changed - a new order was established, one where entropy rules, without intelligent beings working to hold it back.
Okay that's enough. How can you not love an opening like that? ;) Whether the game is ultimately successful or not, it's a nice beginning at the very least.
