What is SIMULACRA?

A single-player horror mystery told through a missing woman's phone.

Live-action videos appear throughout, and your choices can lead to different endings.

  • +you enjoy piecing together mysteries from messages and photos
  • +you like horror stories with jumpscares and live-action video
  • +you want dialogue choices and multiple endings

Not for you if...

  • −you want action rather than reading messages and solving puzzles
  • −you avoid jumpscares and unsettling sound effects
  • −you expect an investigation with few restrictions on your choices
