"Simulacra expands upon its predecessor, Sara is Missing, experimenting even further with unsettling horror. And it succeeds."
9/10 - Pocket Gamer

You found the lost phone of a woman named Anna. In it, you see a desperate cry for help in the form of a video message. The phone behaves strangely as you dive deeper into it. You talk to her friends and they have no idea where she is. Her texts, emails and photo gallery provides fragments of information. It's up to you to piece it together.

Ratings and reviews

The game itself is amazing! After playing it several times though, I am experiencing some bugs. I don't know if it's a glitch in the game or a problem with my phone because it didn't happen to begin with, but even after uninstalling and reinstalling the game, Anna's first video is unviewable (it shows up like Greg sees it, just static), and some of the photos just show up as grey, even after they've been restored. I can't find anyone else talking about this, so I wondered if it was just me?

I love this game! It's so interactive and I love all the features on it. The jumpscares genuinely made my heart skips a few beats. It feels like there's a whole world here, just from looking at a girl's phone. My only issue is one I need fixed immediately. Whenever I play a video, be it on vlogger, via text thread, or anything else, the sound works but the video is extremely slow and laggy. Please fix!!!!

This is a truly amazing game. Little things like the phone background changing make this a fascinating experience. Spoiler warning: My only complaint is that I feel like the jumpscare at the end was a bit cheap. However, I find that the fact that the entity gives the same line to you as it did to the previous victims right before they disappear more than makes up for it. This game is truly exceptional.
