Simulacro

Simulacro is a third-person action, adventure and exploration game set in an artificial universe governed by unusual laws. You play as an ordinary Simulacro, an individual with no fixed name or special status, and explore connected regions called Dioramas. Along the way, you meet enigmatic characters, face challenges, solve puzzles, uncover secrets and search for Spiral Coins whose value is uncertain.

The artificial universe

The Dioramas are linked by portals and inhabited by objects, entities and creatures that exist in ways unlike those in our universe. Some are conscious and others are not, but all belong to a reality with its own rules. Organic life is virtually nonexistent: everything is made of bits and held together by a force called BOND.

Explore the Dioramas

Exploration centers on discovery and curiosity. The interconnected regions contain secrets, unusual characters with their own roles and perspectives, and mysterious collectibles connected to the universe’s greatest enigmas. The story unfolds through dialogue, observation and discovery, while challenges combine exploration, observation, combat and reasoning.

Movement and combat

A Simulacro can move at different speeds, jump and use special structures to reach elevated areas. Its two main offensive moves are a simple kick and a spinning attack with outstretched arms. Both can be used in combat, interact with the environment and help overcome certain challenges.

Interacting with the world

You use the action button to operate Context-Sensitive Buttons, use teleporters, activate mechanisms, advance dialogue and perform other actions. A Simulacro’s distinctive physical movement shapes how you explore the Dioramas and interact with their inhabitants.
