Don't remember this being really quick to finish (4-5 hours of gameplay) No bugs happened in my playthrough, the acting is criticized but it feels like on character for me because isn't that the point? All of them are fake in their own way kinda? Didn't really see the point in getting the 'stormy' dialogue options for them, some of them were straight up douchey. (though I feel like some of them aren't 'stormy' at all) They lost a dear friend - understandably so - because if someone I knew started to ramble about a 'Rippleman' out of nowhere (and it doesn't seem like there was evidence to back what Maya was saying) I don't think I'd believe them too to some extent.. They were grieving and talking to a rando who has HER phone at the same time, saying "Welp, you've betrayed Maya lol" doesn't seem like a good idea, especially since a key part of getting the good ending is being supportive resulting in all of them teaming up and helping. Think they already know they messed up (when it comes to Maya), but also they have their own.. flaws... I felt like most of it was puzzles rather than scares, but the scares are also well-made and some of them freaked me out a bit. Only got to hear one song so can't really judge the soundtrack in it's entirety (but I really liked it) Really didn't like how I had to pretend to be Maya to get the K-Remote app though, that's a me issue but still Many dialogue options and endings, they even have a Fast Mode once you complete the game (for the first time), which is helpful if you're interested in trying other things out ALSO, HOW CAN YOU TEXT ME AND SEND ME VIDEOS WHILE TALKING TO ME OVER THE PHONE?? Glad to see there aren't any consequences in just hanging up randomly, also some of these people were painfully impatient.

I love pretending to be a dead influencer and commenting on peoples posts. Also fuck Mina i hope she does a flip down a mountain in minecraft. Rex is just Andrew Tate if he was uglier and was a born rapper. Arya is just kinda a bitch.........love them all 10/10 would alt f4 again. The game was good tho...

Just like the game before, this game was good too, still have a phone and still feel's like your going through someone's personal life from their phone. I do think it has WAY MORE than the fist game, as in there are more music, which was fine all around, the actors were... Eh. I think the best actor was the detective. The "glitches" was a big thing in the first game that made it scary, and this time I think they wanted it to be more different, and I don't like it. Some of them were actually pretty good though. The story in this game as well was probably the main thing for this game, and it's indefinably more different than the first because we were a random that found a phone our doorstep. This game you either be a detective or a reporter - which only changes a few dialogue's, I do wish there was more deeper stuff about those two, like different puzzles because your not a detective or maybe different evidence because your a reporter - and you are looking into a closed case about Maya Crane. I only had a big issue with the actors, maybe how the camera was as well in the cutscenes? But beside's that, I think it really hold's up for being the second game, i don't think it's better for many reasons, but I don't think it's worse as well. It sits alongside with the first game for me at 8/10. Well, that's all folk's and have a good day or night!

i loved the simulacra games, simulacra 1 was my childhood, i loved the concept of going through someone's phone because im nosy as heck, checking every clues and hints which others might find boring which is understandable everyone has their own tastes. gameplay was fun. the acting on this one was not the very best but i love that there's more to check out on this game. till this day im still in love with this type of gameplay it was cool. anyways, mom im gay.
