SIMULACRA: Pipe Dreams

This game was pretty fun to play through, seeing all that it holds. It has fair amount of dialogue or interesting or humorous texts. There are plenty of easter eggs and secrets that are unrelated to any story or achievement which made the few that I did come across fairly rewarding. Though to be fair, I think this game would really hard to fully complete without the aid of an external guide, as this game can get fairly foggy on what you need to do or where you need to find information to get these shockingly convoluted achievements. I've poked around on my own before looking at a guide and I figured out some stuff, but the majority of it, I don't understand how you were so supposed to solve half of these lengthy goose chases. But for the game and how it presents itself, it's fairly solid. A good story, never felt like it was really a waste of anytime. Would have loved for the fake ads in the game to be able to skip through them much quicker, especially after replaying the game multiple times to get the rest of the achievements. You would have replay parts quite a handful of times if you want to see everything this game has to offer. A game doesn't need to hold my hand for me to want to play it but the grindy achievements of having to use a boost 50 times or score 300 points in a fake flappy bird, felt unnecessary. But overall, I enjoyed it. You don't lose very much playing this game, unless you would want to solve it unaided for the secrets, then you might lose your sanity. Recommended it if you're looking for something interesting and FREE!

Игра "SIMULACRA: Pipe Dreams" - это увлекательный и жуткий опыт, погружающий игрока в современную призрачную историю через найденный телефон. Идея с взаимодействием через интерфейс смартфона реализована блестяще: реалистичные приложения, сообщения и видео создают ощущение, что ты действительно копаешься в чужой жизни. Сюжет про зависимость, потерю и цифровые ловушки затягивает с первых минут. Персонажи, несмотря на то, что общаешься с ними виртуально, кажутся живыми и многогранными. Головоломки, основанные на анализе данных и восстановлении информации, достаточно сложные, чтобы держать в напряжении, но не разочаровывают. Атмосфера тревоги и надвигающейся опасности поддерживается на протяжении всей игры. Неожиданные повороты и несколько концовок мотивируют к повторному прохождению, чтобы раскрыть все секреты пропавшей девушки. Любителям хорроров и интерактивных историй точно рекомендую. Единственный минус - иногда немного нелогичные решения в головоломках и потребность в "пиксель-хантинге", но это незначительно по сравнению с общими впечатлениями.

its a pretty solid free game but simulacra is way better. more interactive, gave you more choices n had more outcomes and little achievements/gameplay differences, while this game has few outcomes (id rather watch someone play this while id rather play simulacra on my own bc the outcome doesnt rlly change) and mostly an identical story no matter how many times you replay. it only ever progresses when you beat the stupid STUPID flappee bird game which is insanely hard,,, </3 i much prefer simulacra progressing with texts, leads, etc. i prefer detective simulacra over frustrating mobile game simulacra. i also liked greg, taylor, and anna better than teddy -- i was excited to see each new anna vlog, read all her texts and posts, look at her tindr account (and create our own bait account) and js overall explore her phone, but everytime i found a new dropbox link for teddys vlogs or got a new text from him i just sighed in exasperation. i liked how the other friend characters and contacts were normal though n teddy really was just going thru it also, despite being a good game, its like.. half horror, and half funny. simulacra had its funny n lighthearted moments (esp around taylor) but it was mostly horror or js unsettling, even in the most subtle ways (annas wallpaper changing to face you) while i couldnt take the footage of teddy dancing or the overall premise of this game seriously (the flappee bird game is about.. peeing? it was more gross than unsettling or scary, but i guess even being gross kinda unsettles you) moreover, the simulacra actors seemed to be hired professionals while i think that the actors here were all just members of the company. it felt more homely, and it may seem more realistic to some, but i preferred the hired actors in simulacra due to the fact you could tell they were more skilled when it came to acting, and the fact that there was more diversity (as they were from like, all over the world) made it feel more realistic in its own way. to each their own, though. give this game a try and review it yourself, id say its worth playing, whether you like it in the end or not

Its okay. Its not as long or great as the others but Its okay considering its free. I don't care for flappy bird however.

This dark fable on addiction is tied to a god-awful game alongside simple text adventure elements. Save your time for the Lost Phone duology, and Emily Is... trilogy. The best part about this is the money I'll save removing the rest of this series from my Wishlist.
