NoStranger vs SIMULACRA

NoStranger is not a game, it's a conversation. As the app opens, you receive a message from a stranger. But by the end of your experience, you will know his name, his motivation, and his dark secret. You will be led on a user-choice-driven narrative; searching through blogs, contacting the story’s characters, and scouring social media websites to find out more. Through real-time conversation, you will delve deep, and sometimes not so deep ;), exploring the interconnectedness of our virtual world. With inspiration from titles such as LifeLine and Her Story, ​NoStranger uses real websites, phone numbers, and videos to create a believable, immersive experience. Trigger Warnings: This narrative includes topics of suicide and violence. https://discord.com/invite/7nBgNCt https://twitter.com/BlackVeinPro http://nostranger.weebly.com/ Sign up for our newsletter via tinyurl.com/NoStrangerNews Created by Matthew Ventures (@mrVentures) and Scott Mulligan
