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

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?

This is story-telling at it's best! Puzzles and mysteries will engage your brain, jumpscares will keep you on the edge of your seat, and a storyline that is rich in its decisions will keep you coming back for more! There's also a TON of Easter Eggs to find, so both those and the achievements will definitely keep your attention for this game. Now, getting all the achievements is kinda hard, but it definitely helps when you beat the game the first time and can use Begin+ mode (I actually got the worst ending possible on my first run😆). Also, guides online and watching YouTubers can help. Other than that, the game was well-worth the money. I certainly hope to see more of these games in the future! 👍

Very fun! But also difficult! I have a notbook litteres with notes from the game! I found it easier to write information down so that way i could access it easily without exiting apps and going back into others. I really liked this game, and the multiple story lines are amazing! It took me 2 tries of full gameplay to get "the good ending" and save both anna and taylor. It was difficult but i dis it! Im going to play a few more times with different answers for the other endings!
