This game... Wow, it just blew me away. I've never experienced anything like it before. The true ending is incredibly rewarding, the story is captivating, and the choices you make significantly impact what happens next. Initially, I breezed through the game in about three hours and felt disappointed, thinking it was weak and mediocre. But then, it completely blew me away. When you start the game, your objective is to find Maya, the main protagonist. Without giving away too many spoilers, this is what you i will say. Maya is an influencer surrounded by what seem to be "selfish" friends who would do anything for fame for their parody Instagram accounts. Maya is found deceased at the beginning of the game, and it’s your task to explore her mobile phone, uncover secrets, and find the suspect. Initially, you might think you have the right answer, but there are more secrets to uncover. (Have you ever tried being nice to people?) That’s all I’ll say without spoiling anything more. 10/10 Game. I HIGHLY recommend you play it, but please, don't rush through it. Put yourself in the shoes of a detective and take your time. When you get the "Good" ending, you’ll know it, and it’s incredibly rewarding. That’s why I love this game—it’s more expansive than it seems, and every little breadcrumb should be investigated.

Simulacra 2 is as good as the previous game in the series. Continued with high-quality narrative design, this time we have much more fun in gameplay thanks to the new video clips and the improvements on the graphic design.

Simulacra 2 is more of Simulacra 1: More data to search, more people to hack, more cringe to endure. Another stranger’s phone. Another story tinged with horror and sci fi elements. Another trip into the uncomfortable territory of violating simulated people’s privacy for a good cause. This sequel sticks pretty close to the footsteps of its predecessor. This time, the justification is justice, because the owner of the phone is quite dead, and you might be a cop, or a cop's little journalist helper. That makes the whole endeavour a bit less creepy, even though the characters of the story and the protagonist himself express a whole lot of disapproval of the invasion of privacy aspect of the proceedings. Gameplay-wise, things have been improved and deepened quite a lot. There is now a mechanic where you can store facts that you have discovered as a kind of file on the phone, and use them to confront people with them via chat. The simulations of social hacking have been implemented more gracefully and more challenging. The FMV production values have gone up, the inevitable creepy pasta is quite a bit creepier. So if Simulacra 2 is a whole lot more of Simulacra, and I found Simulacra quite compelling and mostly fun to play, then I must have enjoyed playing Simulacra 2, right? Unfortunately, no, I didn’t. There were a few minor snags: Some of the riddles you have to puzzle out were very obscure, and, to my mind, there was way too much dross to sift through to find the few nuggets of usable information within the timelines of the various social media apps on the phone. But the main reason I felt little enjoyment while playing were the characters. The game’s main four characters are influencers, and as a consequence, they are a bunch of miserable, , morally compromised people. That's not my framing, that is the inescapable implication of the script. I can’t find a single ounce of sympathy with any of these people even though their life is in danger and the plot tries, unsuccesfully, to redeem them in the end. There is no self-reflection, nothing is learned. Seriously, if I ever want to warn someone away from this career path, I'll have him or her play this game. The cringe is that intense. I admit this might be a me thing, because I look with deepening horror at this business of turning your own life into a product. But I do believe that you can not play this game without developing a distaste for an Influencer's existence. Staring into an abyss can be compelling or even fun, eyeballing these particular depths was not fun for me. Only play this if misery porn is your thing. TLDR: An OK horror story combined with an honest look into one of the creepiest and extensively miserable facets of online existence. This is an acquired taste, and I have failed acquiring it.

There is a considerable improvement since the other games of the series... But I think it's still meh though... 4hrs on record.

this game is amazing, it has good characters, it has great actors, the good price will have other languages ​​that is incredible!
