Decrypt the secret of Simulacra 3, buried somewhere in a smartphone

One could argue that SIMULACRA started out about how modern society enforces a world where our digital, online personalities overwrite and overshadow our real selves to the point of self-destruction. You can maybe run from the metaphorical monster in the black mirror by not being terminally online, but there’s just no escape from SIMULACRA 3, the latest entry in the SIMULACRA series. This game was launched just last October 25, 2022, by Kaigan Games, who are well known for their games in the found-phone digital horror genre.

Let’s spend our Christmas evenings in an abandoned asylum: Nyctophobia
