Instead, her name is Anna, and her phone does a little bit more than just basic phone functions. My first few minutes scanning through the phone brought on such familiar pangs that I forgot that the girl wasn’t named Sara. I pretty much just expected it to be a longer version of Sara Is Missing. Simulacra is meant to be the ‘definitive’ version of Sara Is Missing.”Īdmittedly, I wasn’t expecting too much when I booted Simulacra up for the first time. To create those mechanics on our first and unproven game is very risky. We had plenty of ideas, most of them you see now in Simulacra which we intentionally held back. “When we made Sara Is Missing, it was always meant to be a demo. According to Anna’s ‘Tinder’, she swings for the ladies too *wink* The ‘updated’ version of the same game is certainly a lot more immersive than the original.
Their first game was called SIM now they’ve come up with SIMulacra (get it?) a game that, yet again, asks you to snoop through a young woman’s phone as you try to piece together where she might have disappeared to. The team has gotten a lot of praise for their immersive horror concept, but for many players, the execution left a lot to be desired, especially when it came to the short gameplay time, and relatively linear story. Not bad for a game that was always just meant to be a demo. After all, their first demo Sara Is Missing raked in downloads in the millions after big-time YouTubers picked up on it.Īnd they weren’t even sure if the concept would gain traction in the first place when they released SIM into the world. Since we last spoke to the team in Kaigan Games, everyone and their mothers have built a phone screen simulation game, and in some way, we think that they’re the ones responsible for the trend.
