Was this an unfortunate accident or a cold-blooded murder? Can the victim’s friends be trusted? Is there something sinister lurking in social media? Solve the case before whatever happened to Maya… happens again.

Community Insight:
Just as good if not better than the first one its was so interesting and fun.
The fact that its from the phone, the multiple endings, goshhh all these games are so cool. Been playing since sarah is missing ahahaha we hope to buy the third game soon.
We like all simulacra games but we wish it was controller supported so we can use our backbone with it so if you guys can please add it.
Praise Jesus. You finally fixed it.
This is a really fun game obviously but every time we enter the app and we choose whatever role we want it doesnt show the picture or the phone or whatever for some reason and Ive been trying to figure it out and its like very frustrating so we dont know. We dont know if someone is having the same problem as us but we just really need this fixed right now because we really want to play the game.
Cant get past the black void level. But very interesting.
We cannot rate this game honestly because as soon as we pick our role and get the cutscene our screen goes black and nothing happens after that. It stays black and never goes on. We have tried multiple things to fix it and nothing worked.
We can really see how the team is honing and improving their craft. We particularly like the tree of choices that let you know exactly what was missed, and the WARDEN app was a good way of keeping track of evidence and doling out information. An in game notes app would be very handy, or some way to catalog info or thoughts, we had our phone to the side opened to a notes app the whole time. Also, it's SO bizarre to have all the actors saying your name…spelled different, but still, very weird and cool. The acting was generally very good, though there were moments of awkwardness or overacting that seemed more due to directing than acting, as all the actors showed that they were capable of giving great performances. Also, the visual effects are PHENOMENAL. The music as well. Really top notch, we love the primal growling of the Simulacra.
It is EXTREMELY AWESOME THE GAME DIDINT HAVE ANY ADS IT ALSO HAS LOTS OF GREAT FEATURES so hopefully we can encourage someone to play.
We actually preferred this one to its scarier predecessor, because the investigation was much more complex and involved. If you can get over campy acting and enjoy puzzles, we definitely recommend.
We have re played this countless times and we swear it has such a specific charm to it. Amazingly put together, the character development, everything is just amazing. Highly recommend.
The jokes, the in depth lore, and all that reading its the perfect game!! We love getting to know the characters by seeing their interactions with each other and their social media pages, and the story is so thrilling! The puzzles were challenging but not too difficult, and we are having a blast playing through over and over again trying to find every last secret. Please keep making more of these.
Just finished the good ending and just WOW. The attention to detail in this game was absolutely insane! The personalities of the characters, the butt dials from Dect. Murilo, the songs especially Rex's awful rap, ALL ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! And we are so in love with the backstory of these games, the Simulacrum? Coolest thing ever!! 10/10 man, definitley worth it and we're truly hoping there will be more games.
Best game we ever played could not wait for simulacra three.
Very cool concept, challenging, engaging.
A wonderful game that plays well anywhere, anytime.
Its so sad how the original simulacra got popular and this one didnt. Its honestly a shame.
This is one of the best horror games ive played, and it even made us wanna roleplay and think that we were actually with them in their universe. When we spoke to the Rippleman, it made us feel like we were tethered to it while Arya, Rex, and Mina were watching our eyes roll to the back of our head and the rippleman talking to them through ME. One of the best horror games.
We played simulacra 1 too, simulacra 2 was really Good also with the journalist and the investigator, but we felt like simulacra 1 was more scare, give you more of jump scared and ETC, Which we actually enjoy, we like getting scared, and the out of the blue scares, but still a great game, simulacra 3 will be much appreciated and maybe add more jump scares on that one, but we still love your guys work, the story changes with your responses, which must having took many months, much appreciated with this master piece, and again, simulacra 3 will be much appreciated.
We cant wait to buy the new episodes.
Both Simulacra and Simulacra 2 are some of the finest mobile games we have ever played. Honestly had us hooked immediately and kept us in the entire time. Id give them 10 stars if we could.
We love these Simulacra games, they are all really well done.
This game had us at the edge of our seat, was really pleased with the ending.
Please make more of these simulacra games we would buy every last one.
This game is absolutely amazing! You explore a girl namEd Mayas phone and the phone and videos and stuff look so real! This game was sooo worth the money! (Btw try simulacra 1 to if you havent!).
Simulacra 2 One of the best games we think Ive played since the first it has a lot of challenges and a lot of things that will get in your way we think that the good ending is the hardest one to get in the entire game there are multiple endings in this game try to find them all and never make the deal with an unknown source your lives matter dont throw it away for popularity Again we rate this game at five out of five a really good game and it will really touch your heart and have a spooky day.
Every game that Kaigan creates seems to top the last, and this game is no exception. Every new game makes us excited for the next.
One of the best mobile horror games we've ever played. Amazing story. Well developed. Have not run into any bugs at all and gameplay was as smooth as can be. We do recommend this game to other people.
We must thank to those who make this game to add subtitles because we are deaf so we need subtitles to understand video make this game more enjoyable.
We have to admit we are TERRIBLE with scary games and mostly played this game for the puzzles. However some of the scares still got us, even with the sound off! The game is super fun and we have already played it multiple times to try to get all of the endings. Sadly, the game glitched out one after we unlocked a certain blueprint, and we had to start back a little bit. Dont let that hinder you from buying the game though! Its super fun.
This game is terrific. After playing the original Simulacra and enjoying the format and playability we purchased this one. The acting is solid, the gameplay is not totally linear, but they dont let you get into the weeds too badly, and the scares and music are terrific. Really an enjoyable experience all around.
Even if you find the game is too scary just sit in the main menu and listen to the fire music.
Beautiful Scary game, we wish it was much easier though , we hope they make a Simculra 3 , please make these games more easier, we have to keep looking up game answers online But please dont make these games have a lot of MB or GBytes please , we dont have enough storage.
Overall it was a great experience! We will definitely be playing it again to get some of the other endings! We highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good mobile game to play.
If you want to have a thriller-ish game and have not stop action and some funny dialogue and videos, this is the game for you.
OMIGOSH. We were nervous about this game coming out because we didnt know how they were ever going to remake such an amazing game with a third game in the Simulacra (Saga?) Anyways very very fun gameplay, mystery and a few junpscares(literally you will not expect them) and plus all the choices! All the ways it could go. Seriously you e got to try this game out Ive been playing since it dropped and recently beat all of them again, now Im restarting. Srsly worth the money.
This game is so well suited for being on a mobile device. It works flawlessly with your phone to the point that it actually feels like a different device. The story is completely unique with engaging dialogue and multiple endings. This can be hours of fun with a bit of a horror twist. We genuinely recommend spending the 5 dollars to play this game. Its one of the best if not THE best game on the app store to date.
Heres a way that fixes black screen: open settings before you start the game, change every graphics setting to low. Notice that you need to maintain this as if you switch back, at some point it will have black screen again. Its not bad, Im playing on a giant iPad and the low graphic setting doesnt cause us any trouble.
This is a really good game with multiple endings, we watched a couple playthroughs on YouTube but was thoroughly surprised how there were so many different endings to the game. We feel that once you obtain what we believe is the true ending things start to click more we context to the story as well! We hope to see more in the future.
We really love this game, but now we cant get past the first cutscene without it just going black. Please fix this, we want to play the game again.
We got the Mina bad ending, but after seeing the video it just showed us a black screen. How do we fix this.
The only downside is the timed answers when you have to get the suspects to help you kill the rippleman.
This game would be a lot better if the detective didnt talk so much. We were figuring things out he didnt need to go on for five minutes of unskippable ranting about. We know you need a way to push narrative along, but we were not a fan of all the mandatory acting bits and his incessant messages about mostly unrelated chatter.
We played it twice and both times the story plot just stop advancing. We clicked every single clue and nothing comes up.
Great game overall. When we get to a certain ending with Mina as the deal taker, it freezes after the cutscene and wont let us complete the game. We have tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling, updating our phone, and restarting our phone. Nothing works. Sad that it is so buggy.
Graphics were great, the story Im sure is okay but it failed to capture our attention. Seems all over the place & at the same time seems like SIM1 just different. Maybe this franchise has met its end since the other SIMS are no good according to reviews. Ive started this game two times & both times got bored & deleted the app. Its just boring idk how else to say it. SIM1 was amazing but this one is yawn.
We bought this game and now it will not download.
Clever, fulfilling, interesting, captivating, scary, fun. You're making great games in an era of get-rich-quick freemium garbage, and we hope for the sake of humanity that you keep making great games.
This game will make you keep coming back to it for more.
Im a big fan of this series Ive unlocked every achievement and egg in Sara Is Missing, Simulacra and Pipe Dreams. This game was fun to play through. It has some new jump scares and building on Murillos character from the previous game was fun. Theres even a new tool for finding clues and fixing corrupted images which is fun to play around in. Overall however, the game feels rushed. Theres little issues like the microphone color messing up when characters start speaking, or the game freezing/crashing. Theres no manual save feature so if you exit out of the game before it saves youre screwed. Theres a little plot twist they is pretty fun. But this games story is incredibly similar to the first game. We wish theyd expanded on the Similacras origins or the corrupt Iris company hinted at in earlier games instead of rehashing what fans of the series already know. A human antagonist purposefully working with the simulacra wouldve been more interesting to explore. Also useful and fun features from the previous games like achievement badges, sped up text, statistics on how many players made the same choice as you and a way to track how many ending youve gotten are all missing. Which is very disappointing. Theres 9 different endings but 7 of them are practically the same. Theres not as many interesting moral dilemmas either. Overall its a fun game. But we cant say its worth how expensive it is, given the missing features and similarity to the first game.
