Simulacra 2 (game)

Home>>**Simulacra 2**

Maya, an upcoming influencer has been found dead, and an obsessed detective suspects foul play. Her phone appears to be intentionally wiped, and her cause of death seems... unnatural.

You are given her phone to conduct an unsanctioned police investigation, and piece together the mystery surrounding her death. Solve the case before whatever happened to Maya... happens again.

## Introduction

Simulacra 2 is the sequel to the lost phone horror Simulacra. Here The Player must work with Detective Murilo to uncover the mysterious death of a Kimera influencer, Maya Crane, which the police wrapped up without much work due to the fact they had to hit their monthly quota and, in the words of Det. Murilo, can't do a proper job.

## Plot

The game starts out with the player's choice to be a skeptic detective, or a tabloid reporter whose frights are "their beat".

Chosen one of the two, a cutscene that changes depending on what you chosen, will show Murilo handing you the phone and asking you to speak to him when alone. Here the game actually starts.

During gameplay, the player will communicate with Maya's friends that are labeled as suspects and follow Murilo's instructions to get all the information needed from them. In chats, there is a groupchat called "New Beginnings", which is formed by **Maya Crane**, a lifestyle influencer, **Mina D'Silva**, an artist trying to fit in the "rockstar" standards, **Rex Keegan**, a businessman, and **Arya Park**, a beauty influencer. The four of them based their life on their fame on Kimera, until a new wave of hate was tearing them down.

Looking through Maya's phone, there are lots of people texting her hurtful messages, such as telling her to kill herself, threatening her, and even harrassing her. There is also a man named **Ruben** that will be relevant later in the story.

Maya discovers a boosting service named **TRM** and introduces her friends to this, saying that it will help them remove all the hate they were receiving. TRM appears to the player too while scrolling on Kimera as an ad that asks questions and finally *gives a card* that usually matches their personality or role (*See TRM for more information on the different cards*). In a backed-up chat from the group, they were explaining that they got a card that matched them perfectly and with this, Maya started freaking out. She mentions a few people such "Florence" or "Emily" that used TRM before (and can be seen on TRM's Kimera account).

#### **Clues**

Murilo recommends the player to find out clues on who could've been Maya's killer among the New Beginnings group, though everyone is equally suspect:

Arya seems to be selfish and narcissist. **She faked a sponsorship with Aluren.**

Rex Keegan is accused of **creating a pyramid scheme.**

Mina D'Silva enjoys self-pity and has a victim complex, often changing real events that affected other people to her advantage. S**he faked being Erica Simons' best friend, a girl that has died in a car accident**, when Mina was actually just a witness.

The three of them say they don't know anything about the night Maya died, though they were with her in her apartment. Also, it was Arya's idea to wipe the phone. Rex Keegan can be caught red handed after he says something related to Maya's face scars that she got after dying. Also, all of them used Maya's death to get more views and pity from their fans on social media, Rex made a few jokes about her death too, and treated her as is she went crazy. All of this making them look as fake people that could've killed or harmed Maya, or sacrifice her to remove the hate they were receiving due to their mistakes.

#### **Truth and ritual.**

Truth is, nobody was guilty of sacrificing Maya. She seemed more scared everyday and told the rest about some sort of "ritual" to eliminate the so called "Rippleman". (Rex says Maya started calling TRM "Rippleman" out of nowhere). If player treats every person in the group properly and makes them open up, they will realize that in order to effectuate the ritual, they have to delete their Kimera accounts at the same time and use a phone jammer to trap the monster. In this situation, player has to:

* Make Rex go to the police station disguised as a plumber to steal the phone jammer in the evidence room, that was found previously at the crime scene.
* Make Arya go to the gym, find Maya's locker and take the ritual object that was in there. (An old phone).
* Talk to Mina so she explains the process of deleting their Kimera accounts using a special app, and tells player to speak to **Ruben,** the developer of "K-Remote".

#### Good ending:

The three of them go to Maya's apartment and commence the ritual. During a call made by Arya, her voice glitches and player is teleported to the Simulacra realm and has to delete their accounts one by one to save them. If player messes up during these challenges, the three of them will be taken by the Rippleman. If player manages to delete all of them correctly, Arya's call repeats itself again and then Murilo calls, explaining that he doesn't know what happened but "the kids are alright", also indicating that the ritual was successful.
