### 2/5 — Permanent print on screen.

*2025-11-19, version 1.0.44*

Caused my screen to have a permanent print after the ending.

### 2/5 — Kinda boring

*2025-11-04, version 1.0.44*

Doesnt have much of an impact, still quite good

### 5/5 — Pretty good game!

*2025-10-18, version 1.0.44*

This game is warned us about Game addiction and stupid paywalls but we don’t cared about that. Now it became reality. I definitely love the game, Thanks for making it free.

### 3/5 — okay, but not on the level of the other simulacra games

*2025-09-14*

got this bc i don't have the money for the paid simulacra games, i'll definitely get those when i can though, i've watched people play the first 2 and they seem awesome! anyway, this game is alright, but there's so much of the flappy bird clone that makes it somewhat tedious. idk if it has as much replayability as the others because of that. there's not really as much puzzle solving or communication in it, except for finding analyzing the jabbr posts and talking to only teddy, which was a let down because the other games are so great due to the riddles, puzzles, and numerous characters you can interact with (even though i felt for teddy and don't mind him as a character). but also how let down can you really feel from a game where you're told you have to play flappy bird the majority of the time from the jump? let's be fr. if you wanna spend an afternoon grinding at "flappy bird pees on the ground," then play this game.

### 5/5 — Simulacra pipe dreams

*2025-08-15, version 1.0.44*

is the best game ever we recommend more like this

### 5/5 — Таблс

*2025-08-11, version 1.0.44*

Як тільки виходиш з гри то одразу зтираються данні за останні пів години у грі десь
Наприклад коли я майже доходжу до рекорду (вже з зібраними яйцями через перегляд реклами, а там 3000 вже було) а телефон вимикається, то зникає і частина переписки з Тедом і всі яйця, на які я витрачала свій час, і рекорд, який я майже побила. Було б добре, якщо було б більше збережень данних у грі. Можливо вони не дуже важливі на перший погляд, але це справді важливо.

### 5/5 — Good and nice ❤️

*2025-08-07*

Really recommend and fun to play when you have free time

### 4/5 — Not too bad

*2025-08-07, version 1.0.44*

this game wasn’t too bad of a play! not for everyone, but it’s still an interesting concept. i feel like this game should get more recognition in the simulacra series, but that might be just me.

### 5/5 — Fun and long

*2025-06-08, version 1.0.44*

Fun and long game. Funny endings. Glad I got to save both of us!

### 4/5 — Simulacrazy

*2025-05-24*

I liked the concept of the game play which kept me engaged as it was unpredictable and a little weird.
I’ll be looking at the other paid games released for Simulacra.

I have never played Flappy Bird before and it was such a challenge to complete. I’ve never watched so many ads in my life just to earn eggs to help me play FB.

The email and socials app on the phone didn’t appear to add anything to the game.

### 3/5 — Alr…

*2025-05-17, version 1.0.44*

Not enough scary stuff and it’s too much about FB so yea I Js dk I think the original game is much better no offense. Still an ok game :) 👍🏾.

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER

*2025-05-03, version 1.0.44*

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH BEST GAME IVE PLAYED IN FOREVER

### 5/5 — Submit

*2025-03-28, version 1.0.44*

Goated and free

### 5/5 — A very weird title with a lot of effort put in

*2025-03-09, version 1.0.44*

this one will be on my phone until I finish it, downloaded it along time ago and got back in.

My father-in-law fractured my wife’s skull and her sister brought over Rocky Mountain spotted fever to her sickbed. She also let her get cold under a cold blanket in 61° temperatures while texting her family, then told me she was just resting. It took 7 1/2 minutes to warm her back up with my own body.   This title keeps me from doing something awful as revenge.

### 5/5 — Show your friends

*2025-03-07, version 1.0.44*

tHis gamE is Literally Perfect. it is a Must play gamE.

### 5/5 — Hehehe

*2025-02-27*

So the first time I played this… I never sold my soul Ï just kept on watching more and more ads and won never selling my existence to them demons and just watching some ads. PS Fun game

### 1/5 — THIS GAME SUCKS!

*2026-06-24*

Don’t download this stupid ga,e no point it’s boring and nothing happens basically no plot at all and it is insanely boring YAWN.

### 1/5 — Cool

*2025-12-30, version 1.0.44*

Cool

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-09-15, version 1.0.44*

This game is horrible, looks like the good reviews are from little kids but as an adult..it’s just terrible..I kept thinking it was going to get better but it didn’t happen…I cannot believe I just waisted an hour of my life

### 1/5 — Good game but too slow

*2025-01-02, version 1.0.44*

I love this game but downloading this game is too slow pls fix this thanks! :D

### 1/5 — It became what it critique

*2024-12-25, version 1.0.44*

You play for the developers, the universe of the siumulacra story but you are in a mini game that forces you to be or try to be something else. Is not against human dopamine is against corporations but this game makes your addiction your fault, by masking itself as an addiction. Is not poetry is using your non fans to oat for your games. Manipulation

### 1/5 — Can’t get past first screen

*2024-02-18, version 1.0.44*

So I really like the concept of games like this but for some reason I can’t get the game to load past the “headphones recommended” screen

### 1/5 — Idk what’s going on

*2024-01-07, version 1.0.44*

I don’t even get to play the game it says wear headphones for good experience but it won’t move on

### 1/5 — Pipe dreams

*2023-06-20*

I love Simulacara 1 & 2 and just about to play 3, however I got pipe dreams based on the reviews and I also don’t get it. The story is boring, flappy birds is annoying. I just can’t bring myself to play this one. I would recommend the first two but not this one. If I change my mind I’ll update this review but currently have no interest in continuing this game

### 1/5 — THE ADS ARE INFURIATING!!!

*2023-06-03, version 1.0.44*

Why is there so many fake ads!!!!???? You spend all this time watching a bunch of fake ads, it doesn’t even save the eggs you earn when you exit the game, then the stupid flappee game, which no one likes anymore by the way, rips away all you eggs that took 30 minutes of time to earn. It’s a rip off. I’m about to ask for a refund, this game is ridiculous. The ads are taking it way too far. 

Also, the over texting is outlandish. A contact will send you a message in the middle of watching a video they literally just sent you. If you don’t answer them right away they keep flooding your inbox with text messages. Also, fun fact, if you try to read the overwhelming amount of texts they send while they are still sending the texts then it forces you to go all the way back down to their new text message everytime they send you one! It would be fine if they weren’t spamming my inbox. Then, if I wait until they are done so I can actually read their messages without constantly being forced back all the way down the string of absurd messages they continue to spam my inbox again because I’m not answering within a certain time frame. It’s not immersive. It’s not realistic.

Manual save and auto save! Modern games allow you to either do a manual save or they do constant auto saves. This is because developers realize how ridiculous it is to play a game for 30 minutes, just to lose all your progress. Include a save!!! You can make it a phone number you call, like a support line from Iris for your phone. It keeps the concept that you are on a phone and it doesn’t take away the immersion. Players can save any progress and keep playing as happy customers, they spread the word of your game and you get more profit. Win-win. 

Simulacra 3 had the same issue with saving progress when you exited the app as well, it would make you repeat a whole scenario again, which is so annoying and a waste of my life. There was the same problem with the scrolling text. In real life, when you get a text message, you can continue reading their previous messages while they keep sending you messages. It just makes sense.

### 1/5 — desisto

*2022-08-23*

o jogo é meio estranho e o amigo dramático de mais. até aí, tudo bem! mas ter que ficar jogando aquele jogo toda hora não é legal. é mais fácil jogar flap bird

### 5/5 — Thanks YouTube I loved this

*2026-08-06, version 1.0.44*

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.

### 5/5 — Pretty cool game

*2026-05-22, version 1.0.44*

👍

### 5/5 — Sehr gut

*2026-05-16*

Solch gute spiele die gratis sind gibt es selten Man merkt, dass in dem Spiel Arbeit steckt. Es ist jedoch kein klassisches Horror Spiel sondern anderes

### 5/5 — hay dil desteğinize

### 5/5 — It is sooo good

*2026-03-13, version 1.0.44*

Aaaaahh the jumpscare was really good, detective and reasoning is also done well. I played this game about 5 years ago?

### 5/5 — Simulacra Simulates Horror!

*2026-02-22, version 1.0.44*

This is an amazing game that can go so many different ways. Whatever ending you get, you’ll be entertained!
I Am You And You Are Us.

### 5/5 — THIS WAS SO AMAZING

*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

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2025-12-04*
