SIMULACRUM narrative-first psychological horror RPG

You make an avatar modeled after yourself.
Over time it learns you. Mirrors you. Resents you.
Protect it, destroy it, close it away. Whatever your choice, make it quick.

  • First-person, narrative-first psychological/existential horror RPG.
  • Dreamlike liminal spaces with impossible geometry and degrading rules.
  • The avatar you created develops autonomy and a need to define itself.
  • NPCs who feel “almost normal” - until some of them notice the rift.
  • ERROR://System.NullReferenceException: Memory reference not set.
