About
Simulacra is a 2017 indie adventure game that delivers an unconventional horror experience by letting you explore a missing woman's phone. Rather than traditional gameplay, you'll interact with text messages, photos, and apps while uncovering a mystery that unfolds through the device itself. This unique simulation approach has earned it a respectable 71/100 rating and stands out as a memorable indie title in the adventure genre.
The good news for PC gamers is that Simulacra is extremely accessible from a performance standpoint. It requires only an entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 114, making it playable on virtually any modern graphics card. You'll easily achieve smooth FPS performance even on modest hardware, and the game runs well across all graphics settings, so GPU limitations won't be a concern when benchmarking or playing through the experience.
If you enjoy narrative-driven indie games and don't mind unconventional storytelling, Simulacra is worth experiencing despite its modest review score. Its low performance demands make it an easy recommendation for anyone with a functioning PC who appreciates experimental horror experiences.
Performance profile
October 2017 release. Simulacra was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.
Simulation titles like Simulacra are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.
Extremely light — Simulacra runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
Storyline
You found the lost phone of a woman named Anna. In it, you see a desperate cry for help in the form of a video message. The phone behaves strangely as you dive deeper into it. You talk to her friends and they have no idea where she is. Her texts, emails and photo gallery provides fragments of information. It's up to you to piece it together. Recover lost files, piece back corrupted data, and retrace her final steps. Find her before it's too late.
