Community Insight:
Fun and long game. Funny endings. Glad we got to save both of us.
We ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH BEST GAME IVE PLAYED IN FOREVER.
This one will be on our phone until we finish it, downloaded it along time ago and got back in. Our father-in-law fractured our wifes skull and her sister brought over Rocky Mountain spotted fever to her sickbed. She also let her get cold under a cold blanket in 61 temperatures while texting her family, then told us she was just resting. It took 7 1/2 minutes to warm her back up with our own body. This title keeps us from doing something awful as revenge.
THis gamE is Literally Perfect. It is a Must play gamE.
Us and our sib stayed up till 12:30 to beat this while listening to FNF and UNDERTALE ost And some Emkay They were the Egg collector (they tapped the ads and skipped em) We got 2100worth it. Remember these two wise words Simulacra, and EGG.
Phone was acting weird while playing this.
This game is so fun and you should play it.
We loveeeeee the game soooo much but we want the other ones to be free so we can all play without spending money Im glad this ones free but we want to play the other ones for free to PLEASE READ DEVELOPER AND MAKE THE OTHER GAMES FREE and please get rid of the bad words and the other games developer. Please read and fix it please because we think this game is really fun and we bet the other games would be too just without the cuss words and without the money, thank you so much for reading it you did, Im so sorry if you read this developer and its way too long for you please just listen to us. Ive seen YouTuber like ruthbell play this one and the others and yeah, she also made it seem like it was really real like an actual missing phone so we thought that it was real and searched up phone games. Thank you so much for reading.
A wonderful horror game we were scrolling through the App Store trying to find a horror game that was free because we didn't feel like paying anything and then something cut into our head. We remember the first game we saw YouTuber playing this one so we decided to play. We only got two endings but we plan on working harder.
This was by far one of the coolest games ive played.
So we first got interested in simulacra when we were like nine (yes we know it says 12 and up) but we REALLY REALLY loved it, so we tried to get it, but we couldn't because we cost money, so we got this one instead, we don't remember if we finished it or not, but it sure we would have gotten a different ending because we remember playing flapee bird after the gore-ish update, we just remembered it today 3 years later, we got the ending where teddy dies (kinda idk lol) it's just a really great game, and we even got one of our friends to play it too :).
It was an amazing experience. We only got one out of the four endings, but this was amazing.
They cooked in the kitchen with this one remember though.
This game is short but we think you should try this game 5 stars.
Wonderful story and amazing visuals! Keep it up.
IT IS A AMAZING GAME WITH GOOD QUALITY.
It was an uneasily enjoyable experience that kept you on the edge of your seat so much fun!!!! 10/10 recommend.
This game is an amazing phone game! It is so interactive, letting you put comments on social media, text different people, and get calls from people! Its coolest thing is that it has 4 different endings, which makes you want to keep coming back.
If there is one thing that Simulacra is good at, it would have to be the Story because of how unique it is. The fact that this game exists just enlightens us.
Ive seen our favorite YouTuber, YuB, play this game. It looked fun so we played it and its very very good! Im going to try other endings now.
We lovehow the voice was a metaphore for playing vkdeo games to the point of being problematic. It really can push away family and feiends.
But not for the reason you might think. Love this game and its commentary on our relationship to mobile games.
This game is soooo epic! Bug fan.
This game was so fun and truly scar at some points definitely a good Simulacra game for sure.
We cant tell you how much we love this! Our friend watched us play this game, we both agreed that it was soo fun! Though we feel like people should be able to respond to what you say on like the post thing? Cause you can say whatever you want, we think it would be really cool if they could do that.
Should be more parts to it but great game.
It's hard to explain why this game is so cool without spoiling too much. Games like these are best experienced in a blind playthrough. We like it enough to give the first one a try.
Absolute assault on 21st century culture, this game truly pulls the veil on games and the addiction that they cause, loved every minute of it, meticulously assembled choose your adventure journey! Download at your own risk LOL.
Literally sucu a good game gonplay it.
It had good choices and good game.
(Spoilers below. This also explains the origin of Flapee Bird, and how the origin is similar to Flappy Bird's origin) (Note that Flappy Bird and Flapee Bird are two different games. Flappy Bird is the original, Flapee Bird is the copy.) Simulacra Pipe Dreams explains the story of a person who is struggling with life and how a mobile game takes over his mind. This is a really interesting concept for a Simulacra title, especially from a game that looks familiar but isn't. Before moving on, allow us to clarify what the Simulacra is based off. The Simulacra that makes people addicted to Flapee Bird is actually based off of Flappy Bird's history. A couple months after Flappy Bird was released, the game suddenly went viral and people became addicted to the game. Because of all the controversy surrounding the game, and how people were addicted to Flappy Bird, this caused Dong Nguyen (the creator of Flappy Bird) to pull the plug and remove Flappy Bird from the App Store. This is because the game was this addictive and had so much controversy, they had Dong involved in the Flappy Bird situation and the popularity of the game ruined Dong's life, because people's minds were focused on Flappy Bird. That's why he removed the game from the App Store, to prevent further damage from happening. After Flappy Bird was deleted, people who had the game downloaded on their phones sold it on eBay for very high prices, because of the deletion of Flappy Bird. However, this was against the rules to sell a phone that wasn't reset, this caused a backfire against people who downloaded it. People were angry at Dong for removing the game, probably from all of the addiction. Dong then replied to everyone that he would be rereleasing Flappy Bird soon, but with changes to make it less addictive. And as promised, he released Flappy Birds Family, a Fire TV exclusive which of course, made the game less addictive and had a new multiplayer mode. Another version of Flappy Bird was released a couple months later, which was made for arcade machines. (which might've caused a lot of people to waste their quarters on them) Simulacra Pipe Dreams' story about Flapee Bird and its creator Duncan Yong, is the exact same path that Dong Nguyen's Flappy Bird took. He made a simple game, and people got addicted to it, which caused him to remove it from the Iris Store. The Simulacra in the game took advantage of this and rereleased Flapee Bird Royale as an "early access" game that was created to lure gamers in so they can become addicted to it. Once they've been lured in, they will black out either at certain times, or when they try to leave their homes. This causes their Simulacrum counterpart to appear and attempt to lure other people in the game by sharing the game with the victim's friends or advertising it on Jabbr. The Simulacra can also change people's texts into something entirely different, while black mist surrounds it. The game can also trick other people to spend their life to buy eggs in the game, which will shorten their lifespan. And they use up their lifehours completely, their vision becomes blurry, their texts get replaced by bird emojis, and they will not just die, but will be wiped from the face of the Earth. The Simulacra in Pipe Dreams will do everything to force their victims to play Flapee Bird, so they can lure more people in, and erase them from existence. Examples include locking them inside their own home, deleting their phone data, erasing people's memories, and making them lose track of time. This is why the Simulacra is forcing people to play the game, because when the game wasn't removed yet by the original creator, people were already addicted. Duncan Yong also states that other versions of Flapee Bird are not made by him, and warns people to not play them. This Simulacra is based on unofficially rereleasing the game, and making it addictive as possible to lure people in, and erase them from existing. A pretty interesting concept if we say so ourselves, and it brings back memories of playing the original Flappy Bird. Well now that we think about it, maybe Dong Nguyen's decision of removing Flappy Bird from the App Store was probably the best choice. If the game's popularity spread even more, then it would cause Dong's life to be ruined for eternity because of his own creation Other than that, this was an awesome game! Really hope that Kaigan Games makes more Simulacra games based off of other video games.
We were watching videos of Markiplier playing a simulacra game so we decided to come to the App Store and search up simulacra. Came upon this one and tried it out since it was free. Ive never played a game like this before but it was pretty cool. Got the good ending first try by being a good friend to Teddy and never leaving his side. Will possibly purchase the other simulacra games.
This game is WAYY beyond excellent and underrated too. The way it has many endings, sound effect, voice effect and music is so good we cant describe how lucky we are when we didnt ignore to download this game. The real life experience will likely make you feels like this is real and will slowly manipulate you into the story more and more. Theres not much we want to say but this game is underrated, worth downloading.
The game is designed so well, from the voice acting, acting, and the game design itself. Also the fact it gives you different endings, etc, etc, is amazing. Will most likely get the next one. 10/10 Would suggest other people to get it. It deserves the attention it needs and gets.
This is like the best game we have ever played everything is just. Chef kiss*.
Yo that was so good of an experience we cant wait till we get simulacra two and we top of that Im gonna get all the endings.
This game. This. Game. A masterpiece. It caused us to ask questions Ive never asked. We hope we can play through it and get all the endings. So much fun.
We love how it has multiple endings and the depth of the story line which makes it so enticing. We really like that the adds arent really like high quality stuff its more raw, like some friends goofing around. But it may trigger people with epilepsy. Like the trailer for flapee bird and some flashing. It also has trippy effects that could leave someone disoriented. We wouldnt recommend it if you get triggered by that kind of stuff but we would recommend it if you like simulator games with a bit of horror even tho its not a horror game and likes replaying for the endings. It also has random jumpscares so be cautious of that.
We love this game gave us a good scare too.
This game is so fun and it feels so real its a little but thats just because im a scary cat but it is so fun100% recommend.
Best story and super fun game play best sumlacra game yet cant wait to see where the series goes from here.
Its a really good game. Has a good plot and good story. Only one thing we might recommend is allowing us to skip all the dialogue in the texts and being able to choose the speed that the text goes. Anyways its a extremely good game 10/10 we would share with our friends.
We love this game so much(coming from a girl who just turned 10 a few months ago) Ive never found a game we liked so much! We love scary stuff, we wanted to download the Anna is missing game or whatever its called but.. We have no money lol! We know your probably not reading this but! Please make a free version of it because Ive seen people play that game and it looks so fun! But the cuss words in your games are pretty annoying, because we always think there cussing at us. And there kinda inappropriate and our mom wouldnt want us to plays those type of games, so please remove some cuss words but you can keep, darn and heck because our mom doesnt care about those words but, overall this game was really cool! Lol we got 78% saying you spent half of your life on eggs! We were cracking up but we, gonna stop this review here its a pretty long review half of it is us talking about Anna is missing game! Well Im gonna get going to replay the game and not spend 3,957,012 hours of our life on eggs! Good game and its not over rated( lol we said we were gonna stop but we never did) ok but FOREAL.. Im gonna get going! Bye have a great day.
This game is amazing, great for horror game/movie lovers! Quality is great, and so is the story! We love this game.
Very nice game overall and has very good story and plot. We expected it to be a bit more scary but it is still very fun.
Wow after beating the game we feel calm its a very great game the story is wonderful.
An absolute roller coaster! It almost felt real at times.
Okay so since Im literally under the age of ten this did not scare us much we mean it was sad t one ending but it is good. We recommend this for lots of people who want to scare themselves anyway amazing game! At one ending where the player gets erased from existence is really REALLY HORRIFYING but good recommend and love the fake adds.
This game is so fun!! Even though we got the bad ending. Im currently playing for a different one.
This game is so good we loved the part about flapee bird.
