SIMULACRA Reviews

This is genuinely one of the best horror experiences that I have had. 10/10 If you are thinking about buying this game, do it, buy it, no questions asked, you will have a good time

I love games with this sort of conceit, and really had a fun time with this! I love games where the devs clearly really enjoy the project and have a passion for it, it's so refreshing. While I did enjoy this (the others aren't optimized for Steam Deck and the second is unsupported so I might have to wait to play the rest), I do have a few mild quibbles. First, the game could use a brief refresh as far as the writing -- the localization for English was iffy, and while I can ignore some grammar/misspellings with no problem, this did impact the gameplay in a few instances. Also, and I know this is the result of playing on a Steam Deck but it did say it was optimized and entering the text was a pain and very easily the one thing I disliked. I couldn't do the "timed section text entry" (if you know you know) not because I didn't know the answers (I did), but the entry was just so fiddly. Honestly those are really mild complaints, but the localization issues made the end a little hard to follow. But like I said, it's very minor as the game was enjoyable despite that. Hoping the rest come to Steam Deck soon, and hoping the devs keep making fun, unique games like this!

Very nice story and settings. A bit railroaded but still enjoyable

Very good game. Totally worth the price. A Friday or Saturday night, alone in the dark, grab a drink and enjoy this investigation.

Just played through one ending. I am a huge fan of horror and mystery, but sadly I am a wimp so horror games scare me. This game? was great. It was creepy enough to have me on edge but I was able to play it! I'll be doing the other endings soon. I also downloaded 2 and 3. I can't wait to play them this game was awesome

Super creepy, super engaging. This game made a shiver run down my spine multiple times and gave me so many heart attacks for sometimes the stupidest reasons T^T

What an adventure!! Even though I know exactly what's happening since I have watched "Markiplier" & "8bit-Ryan" play, I truly enjoyed it, teared up at the horror elements & finally having concepts that are relevant to present and the future we are headed towards. Great job game devs, this game has aged very well!!! Definitely all must try this game out atleast once!!

not scary but for that price (got it in a sale for like 50ct) i cant complain. was fun to explore what the game has to offer and it was in a cool design/format

I really enjoyed this game. In 2025, this game's larger themes seem so much more apparent. The twist is great, it made me get the darkest ending, I believe. To the point that I may play it again to get another ending! The acting in the videos is a bit sus, but the sincerity pulls them all through.

sure it's fun but the idea that i have to completely start the entire game over because of one choice i made is disgusting. let us save when we want to so we can make new choices. i'm most likely never going to come back to finish because having to start from the beginning after playing for 4 hours is nightmarish.
