Simulcra
2026-07-03
Simulcra is a lost phone horror game with creepy elements and jump scares. I haven't played a lost phone game in a long time and I was in the mood for a horror game, so I yoinked this one off my backlog. The mobile interface is fun to navigate, and you have to dig through phone calls, texts, emails, and other stuff to solve the mystery. The voice acting is a little over the top, and the language is a little stiff sometimes, but overall it's been an interesting experience so far with some nicely creepy effects.
There is some weirdness with text input. It took MANY tries to come up with a saddest moment the game would actually accept. I tried some serious things and some silly things and it ended up taking something like, "Filling out this prompt is my saddest moment," because by then it really was.
