Good game and a lot of work done to make some things feel realistic. The problem is that if you have played the first two games in the Simulacra series, this one really falls short. The second one was so impressive and really has you get to know multiple characters. Once you release one done that well, you have to at least meet the same level of expectations or even beyond. Game number one, 4 stars. Game number 2, 5 stars. Game number 3, 3 stars. Seems they went in the wrong direction.

This game has possibly my favorite writing in the Simulacra series. One of their new features is a little rough, (in coding only, the concept is excellent and still decently executed, especially for a feature that would be very difficult to build) but it doesn’t make the game unplayable by any means, just break the immersion a bit. Other than that one gripe, I have no criticisms. The plot, world building, characters and game play are all exceptional and definitely worth the cost.

I've played all simulacra games and this one unfortunately disappointed me so much. I flew through the game in one night.. puzzles were really easy, story lacked originality and intrigue. The videos are also terribly edited and the audio is completely different every scene making it so easy to tell it's pieced together. Just ruins a big part of the "real" experience or any scary part, hopefully they fix this in an update at some point for future players.. it has potential, it just feels lazy..
