    Solving Simulacra's central mystery is a lot of fun, especially thanks to its authentic atmosphere, terrific jumpscares and challenging puzzles. The controls are often a bit too complex, though - probably due to its origins as a mobile game.

    Simulacra is surprisingly engaging for a game that takes place completely on the screen of a found smart phone. With well-drawn characters, a gripping story, and one foot planted firmly in the real world, the suspense of Simulacra entertains quite well. Never truly chilling, Simulacra is nonetheless a unique suspense mystery that is well worth a look.

    Simulacra is a different game whose unusual formula makes it more than interesting. It tackles themes of today's society with a crudeness that few games would dare to attempt through a fairly convincing and entertaining simulation. Despite being in full English, it is a title worth giving a chance to.

    Annoying gamebreaking bug in this game. Can't get past the 'reset password' page because the screen isn't optimized for the PS4!!
