During a rare quiet moment with family friends on a busy train ride, I dial 911 and wait. A beat passes; no response. I swipe back to Anna’s dating profile to find the perfect profile picture in her image gallery. Hopefully, she doesn’t mind I’ve added some Ben Stiller DodgeBall firepower to attract suitors across the net.
SIMULACRA is mobile phone game about saving a missing girl named Anna by accessing her phone. As the player, you’re half-sleuth, half-stalker as you scum through her message history, social media posts, email exchanges, and images to find her. While playing in public, it even got awkward at times as I quickly swiped through her image gallery to find her cat's birthday picture as I didn’t want to look like a perv. Beyond voyeuristic frights, the game immediately lets you know this is a horror game as her disappearance is of the supernatural ilk.
