Imitation

Kaigan Games also created that Sarah Lost, and anyone who played it could find many of the same features in Simulacra. This time we will have our hands on Ana's phone, the lost girl. In fact, it's all done from the phone itself, which is in the exact same location even if it's played on land screens – this involves some space issues – and our task would be to find out what happened to the girl. It's that simple.

Mock starts off tight, as soon as he opens the phone we will find a video of Ana screaming in dangerous condition and urging anyone who sees the video to go out in search. This situation puts us in contention, and that is that Kaigan doesn't go with young girls, because it will take away our treatment in cases where he wants to show us something shocking.

The game is slowly growing and directing us as we go along. At first we will have to respond to the notifications we have on screen, such as Ana's boyfriend, Greg, his Spark game – something like Tinder – called Taylor and many others. After further investigation, we will eventually get into your Jabbr – Simulacra email – your email with others, which will result in us finding more leads for your distributor and contacts.

Another characteristic of Simulacra is deception, because the conversations we have will raise suspicions of others. We need to know how to identify those we can count on – if anyone can trust them – and the information we give them, because others may have their own plans while following Ana's track.

We too can cheat because we have Ana's phones. With this we can imitate him to find our interests. This is a great example of how to play anonymously in the digital age and how wrong and simple sin can be to imitate someone when we really want to.

Kaigan has made the leisure of Ana's life on her phone very convincing, from her video recordings to Jabbr's posts or messages we get from people who know her. However, sometimes it has some unforgettable edges, especially in the representation of Greg, because it lacks enough faith and ends up breaking the air when we called in.

The simulation can be completed in three or four hours, but most of the time we will be quiet as we go from one application to another for details. That's what made each unexpected phone call and other shocks so much, because we were always in trouble not knowing what was going to happen next. Sometimes we started calling a detective, and it was because we were so focused on the screen reading some of the messages.

From the beginning everything seems to be in order – except for the fact that someone is missing – because we commit ourselves to moving from one app to another without really knowing what's really going on, but little by little things start to twist. Some of the corrupted files are unexpectedly restored and show us parts of the story to join, and its root will start talking to other people for more information. It is a slow but effective development that leads us to a false calm before the great storm and storm.

The choices we make in this structure will have consequences that will eventually give us one of the many choices available. Obviously some of them are wrong, so we have to be careful what we say if we want to get to the finest conclusions. Treating people badly can lead to negative consequences, as well as how we imitate Ana, our attitudes and those we consider our partners.

The great and unexpected end of Simulacra left us speechless. It's the kind of game that can be scary at any time, which has kept us sluggish. It's a quiet and intriguing idea of ​​the dangers of the Internet unfortunately there are a few things to paint – some vague images, for example. Anyway, we had a good and bad time – in a good way – in equal parts, but for now we're trying to relax a bit before trying to get some finals.
