Downgrade from the original and the acting was below passing. However, I liked the new UI for the phone and the puzzles were neat to solve. Overall, another solid game, but the first one is so much better.

SIMULACRA 2 is a puzzle game where you have to find what happened to a dead girl thru her phone. Check her messaging, emails, social media, videos, pictures, etc and talk to her friends to find the truth... It's kinda like a A normal lost phone game but more complex, more suspens in a horror ambient... the story is great and there's multiples endings. The sound effects and the graphics are nice, I highly recommend it!!! 💗💗💗

The best entry in this franchise. The music is so good and I think the game play shines the most in this entry. If you are going to play only one of these, this is the one to play.

Basically a phone simulator with some live action elements where you pretend to go through someone's phone with simulated social media. Thought it was very intriguing and a fun, enjoyable concept. I also enjoyed the mystery of slowly figuring things out as they got weirder and weirder. I thought the acting was very odd and campy, but in a way I enjoyed. I could definitely tell that they were a Malaysian studio attempting to be set somwhere on West Coast USA, so there was a bit of awkwardness there. Some of the dialogue choices felt strangely-translated, but ultimately the game was a smooth, etertaining experience to spend a free day completing. I thought that the fact that it's set on a phone screen would have been more immersive if I had been using an actual phone to play it. That said, it was still plenty enjoyable on a desktop screen.
