To figure out what happened, you need to do all kinds of things, like dig through her old social media posts and talk with her friends via text. You learn very quickly in this game though that the reason you’re investigating Maya is because she’s been murdered, and you’re a detective from a specialized department on the police force that investigates “obscure phenomena.” Just like the first game, Simulacra 2 is all about investigating a woman by poking around on her mobile phone. Simulacra 2 trades in some of the same tricks that made the first game so great, but it also struggles to tell a story worth caring about. I’m certainly not a buff on the genre, but the way that Kaigan Games was able to slowly ramp up an unsettling tension while you perused a stranger’s phone makes it one of the most memorably creepy games I’ve ever played. There are few mobile horror games that are actually scary, but Simulacra is one of them.
