SIMULACRA 3

While the intimate and voyeuristic "Simulacra" experience is mostly preserved, this game really highlights how much better Simulacra 2 was. Instead of focusing on a specific character and their immediate circle as in the previous game, this game tries to encompass the entire scope of a the enigma plaguing a whole town. While ambitious, the end result is weaker because the sense of immediacy and the dynamism of character personalities as seen in the second game is just not there. Compared to the memorable Murillo and Maya and friends, the protagonists of this game are...just there. And there are no other speaking cut scenes with any other live actors besides Ruby and the bland Paul, which makes the whole experience seem cheaper. Pair those shortcomings with an arguably worse phone interface with clunkier design and less interactivity than last time, and you get this overall underwhelming third installment. Perhaps the most disappointing thing about this game is that the humor and pettiness seen in characters that made the last game so much fun is virtually nonexistent this time around. In short, this game, even with its economical runtime, ends up feeling less immersive and downright boring at times (those extended Ruby videocall sequences are a drag). Hopefully these things can be remedied if there is a fourth game.

the beginning felt so dragged out, and so many characters were introduced and they’d end up being pointless and not adding any plot ! my game also froze multiple times and i’d have to refresh my app which means i had to restart the last checkpoint, which was so annoying. other than that i enjoyed the game itself it was unnecessarily long though

Very slow. It keeps freezing up when im on it for to long, and when i go back to play it. It deletes my progress. And in general its not living up to the others. Disappointed

Just wish it was longer!

Please continue to make more games in the simulacra series ! These “found phone” games have been my absolute favorite, and this series has been the best in my opinion.

I hate how I can’t progress much further and I’ve seen it happen with my twin we both have to talk to Ruby in different parts of the story but we can’t it says she’s offline. I don’t understand. I looked everywhere and I even looked up a wall through and even the objective mentions to talk to Ruby. Also you need more check points cause I hate restarting the part over and over again. But mainly the ruby part is the issue please fix it. I want to finish the game.

I absolutely love every Simulacra game so far, sitting down with a notebook & pens and just going to town on these games is something i’ve very much enjoyed doing across all three games. This one has to take the cake on the most interesting, innovative and just kinda downright cool these puzzles were. the mural puzzle??? oh my god, genuinely loved them. only thing i struggled on was the last part of the game, with the “past to the truth” part. the solution still makes no sense to me, but then again it’s hard to find any decent walkthrough pages or videos on this game. I’m very excited to see what else comes out in the Simulacra series! one of my favorite horror series 🩵

This is such a good game! I honestly enjoyed everything that was new about it

I loved how your choices impacted to the story and overall I loved the game and hoping for another one if possible

The game was enjoyable, only problem was it basically freezing so I had to swipe off and get back on. It would be nice if it saved more often too.
