Excellent! I never purchase apps but this was well worth it. The earlier app sim was a good concept and was ok, this one was great! I can't imagine how much better a sequel would be with the resources probably available now... Nice storyline, good horror elements, believable actors and sounds ( hate Greg's voice!) But maybe he was supposed to be whiney... Anyway highly recommend, nice job!

Overall fantastic. Easily a 20$ game. Some of the voicing was annoying & some of the info needed to progress buried under a needless amount of other stuff. Still, a great - and genuinely creepy - game. I'm looking forward towards getting the other endings tomorrow (it's ~3:30 in the morning as I'm writing this). Well worth the purchase price; I plan on keeping a close eye on this dev & future products :).

I don't normally leave reviews, but my God this game. Never has the atmosphere from a mobile creep me out to the point where I'm actually paranoid. First five minutes into the game and I backed myself into a corner to make sure no one can creep up behind me. I do have one issue though, some of the restore puzzles aren't exactly necessary to do and can waste some time. But I still love this game. I'm going back into it soon to complete the rest of the endings. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

I never buy anything like apps, games on here. But I played Sara is missing & loved it so I thought I'd enjoy this one. First 1 I ever purchased & I'm happy I did. This was so creepy & weird but everything kept me hooked. The ending was not what I expected (I've only got 1 ending & there's multiple). But it was awesome. Definently worth the price <3

PLEASE READ Heya, I absolutely LOVED your game, and it really is worth the money. The voice acting, grafics, story and just everything else was amasing. I also loved the endings, but, I do have a small suggestion. Let's just say, I've been a very bad pretender, I send Taylor into his death and that, without a care. I would really, really love to see an ending that takes this into consideration. I got the Abandon all Hope ending, and it said Taylor didn't trust me enough, even though he actually did trust me since I always took his side, and yet, I delivered him to the Simulacra in the end.

Great game! I just wish you guys didn't have to put those jump scare statics, though. This is a disturbing and unsettling game, and those jumpscare moments kinda cheapen it.

Really amazing concept! Anna's boyfriend is sooooo annoying but I think he was probably meant to be. Gameplay is really fun because you pretty much do feel like you've picked up this girl's phone. You can go through her apps, her emails, her texts and even her browser history! There are a few silly jump scares. If you're alone in your room by yourself at night then this might make you feel a little scared lol but overall the gameplay really is amazing!

~ I love the game so much! And no matter how many times I play it...it still amazes mee! I really hope there will be like a part two like depending on what ending you got most. Something like example...I got the good ending but now im the simulacra too which is AWESOME so....like we will find the good ending person phone and try to save her/him from turning evil? I mean that would be cool! Think about it! :)~ Btw the music and the actors are wonderful! The music is noiceeee

Very engrossing and immersive story! Lots of little details go a long way to making it feel like you're unraveling a real mystery. I thought the ending was a bit rushed but it was still a worthwhile purchase!

U70%
by U####:

Well worth the price of admission. I strongly suggest playing with headphones on and when you're alone at night for maximum effect. Also a pen and paper may be handy if you have a short memory for some parts. Easily one of the best games I have ever played on my phone.

Fun game, though I had issues with the ending determination. One potential(?) condition parameter in particular for the good(?) ending being something really gross and counterintuitive. Hopefully not required. Really my only complaint, kind of ruined the end for me since I got one of the unsatisfying endings. Overall, well written and very engaging.

U70%
by U####:

Okay game, bit boring, certainly NOT worth $4.99! A bit juvenile and absolutely nothing scary about this game! 8th grade voice acting, probably got their friends to do it for a percentage. Sorry, but for the asking price you can find much better ????

by U####:

It's horrifying and amazing i love the mystery that's in it it's a great game!! But it can be a bit confusing at some points tbh but other than that it's the best game I've played on my phone so far! Just hoping the ending won't come true one day fr!

I've played plenty of shooters, puzzle games, rpg etc, but this was a whole other animal for me. I was completely sucked in and couldn't stop playing until my eye balls dried out. I went on a frantic hunt for more like this but couldn't find anything remotely as polished. My only complaint is that you do not have more like this in your arsenal. ????

Really cool game, never seen anything like it. I tried out SIM (the free game) and liked it, but this one being the paid game is more challenging and more in depth. I'm about two hours in right now, so definitely no shortage of game play. Really enjoy this, very cool game.

While the jumpscares seemed unnecessary the game as a whole was amazing! I got the 4th ending and there's still so much to do! Those final videos are gonna be a pain.

This game is creepy but AMAZING it's so scary and interesting please bring out more games like this!! I've played Sara is missing it was also great!Please make more games like this but free perhaps?

U70%
by U####:

Overall a really well done found phone style game. Typo issues (or maybe localization/translation issues?), and wonky voice acting at times can kill the immersion. There are also unnecessary jump scares which ruin the atmosphere when you DO manage to get immersed. Devs: your atmosphere is already there, jumpscares are a crutch which you absolutely didn't need. The game played smooth as silk with an interesting story, and obvious care went into it. I absolutely recommend it.

So fun. Even spooked me out a little at the many posibilities that could be going on. Enjoyed so much. Would like a chapter 2 or maybe even a second one

They took SIM and improved on it. This is the absolutely best mobile game I have played! Definitely worth the $5 and I can't wait to see what Kaigan Games comes up with next!

A really awesome horror game. I really hope they bring out more games like this! A much better version than Sarah Is Missing. Much more interactive and the phone layout had much more availability for apps to click on. Both were fun though!

Would like more dialogue availability for restarts, but is overall one of the best games of it's genre and my first experience as well. Glad this game was the introduction to this category.

Absolutely one of the best games made for mobile, just a fantastically clever use of the medium, brilliant and engaging story, well with the price of admission. Me and my partner sat and played through it together in bed over a couple of evenings. Loved it!!

it was a fun game I downloaded this after playing the first one and I did enjoy this one a lot it is $5 but I think it's worth it personally there are some things that you know kind of bug me a little certain voice actors but those are just nitpicking it is a really fun experience that I had with the game and again for five bucks you can't go wrong I liked it if you're into horror mystery special things to do with all the world now and topical issues like internet dating sites are we getting to tip end of our technology is taking over us and you know stuff like that I do recommend play

I really liked this game just finished my first play though and I'm going back in for more I can't wait too see more from these developers

U70%

Woaaaaahhh this was so cool!! I really loved it. Their was tension and their were puzzles and you really really want to do it right. I totally buggerd it up. But okay I will try again. Tip for new players keep pen and paper near you. Pleasssseeee make another game like this because I loved it. It was better then any of the other similar games. Yes even better then Sara is missing. Although I really liked that this was better. After having played it I didn't mind that I payed for it because I will play this again and again to get a different outcome ???? I played this on my Samsung galaxy tab note pro. And it worked fine no bugs no nothing. Everything worked as it should.

S70%
by S####:

First off, thanks for waiting until the end to ask for a review! Doing all you could to keep the illusion going was appreciated. I'm blown away with this experience. The slow unravelling of plot threads until the bitter end had me guessing the whole while. The voice acting for Greg and a few of the other characters could have been better, but you can tell that everyone involved put a lot of passion into this. I don't regret this purchase, and I can't wait to dig deeper into the experience to see how it changes.

U70%
by U####:

Easily worth the price of admission. very well put together, story keeps you engrossed. puzzles are not difficult, and fill the feel of the game. The only complaint i have is that your phone can sleep during some of the longer sequences and cause some odd behavior, but nothing game breaking. Decient replayability for multiple endings, but you will know what to expect by then. All in all, very good game.

N70%
by N####:

Simulacra was an awesome experience, definitely worth the price to support the creators and hopefully bring more content in the future. If you like found footage horror you'll likely enjoy this game. Its a unique way of story telling and the characters remind me of people I know and have met. My one criticism would be the jump scares of which there are a few, the psychological horror is much more effective. Keep up the good work!

U70%
by U####:

Kaigan games, the maker of SIM, pulls out all the stops in simulacra, another found phone game that made my hair stand on edge and cringe at every text message. Would have gladly paid atleast 10$ for this game. Highly rated and highly recommended for anyone that likes some good thrills. 5/5

U70%
by U####:

Amazing! Such a quality game and well worth the price. I'm not usually one to pay for games, but I'm glad I didn't skip this one. It's beautiful, and pretty seamless. I forgot a few times during game play that I was actually *operating* MY device. super realistic. Kudos to the developers. I'd definitely pay for another one like it. Just finished my first play through, and about to try for a different ending. Cheers.

I loved the first game SIM but this one by far has become better and I can gladly say it was worth the money I also love the intro music it's kind of catchy! But the jump scares are amazing considering you don't expect them and I once again will admit I love this game! Good job and keep up the good work!

Amazing! Got the second ending though... I'll come back and get all endings! This was really awesome! Thanks dev/s for this great experience! Looking forward to more releases from you guys! p.s. Greg's voice actor is really bad. Not that big of a deal tho
