## What is SIMULACRA?

After downloading a mysterious free game called “FlapeeBird”, Teddy finally found an outlet to distract him from his life troubles. But you notice that something is not quite right with Teddy or this creepy game. Will you be able to help Teddy break free - or will the game get you too?

A free spin-off from the SIMULACRA universe, Pipe Dreams tells a new standalone story while staying true to the horror phone simulator genre. You don’t have to play SIMULACRA to enjoy this one, but it helps.

I learned about this game through YouTubers dashiegames and jacksepticeye and playing it myself was a blast.

### 5/5 — This game was fun!

*2026-07-22*

I really enjoyed this game—especially since it’s free and the mechanics of the game were extremely fun but tedious too. I really enjoyed the commentary on how these gaming companies exploit us and our time. Really great!

### 5/5 — 👍

*2026-06-27*

I like it it’s just please landscape mode for the iPad pls I’m more of a landscape person so pls update it to also have landscape mode and when the ad is played on the phone it turns by its self, and controls like the left, right, up and down and buttons to press start, back, pause and interact where to press the apps and play flapeebird. And add this to other Simulacra games. Pls developer read this I beg you to add this things.

*2026-01-14*

This game was the best experience that I’ve seen, being with a friend and getting addicted to a game realising it wasn’t your friend the whole time then getting erased from reality, this is the best experience I would recommend playing again finding the other endings
