My simulacra hyperfixation came back for me so I'll do some posts in the nearest future.

So when I played I got interested what last Anna's phone calls were n find this strange number. I decided to call n then..

I suppose this s some kind of suicidal hotline or something and its kinda sad to know that Anna had to call this number to make her fell better, but when I heard it I JUST BURST INTO LAUGH BECUZ I FOUND SO MANY EASTER EGGS IN RESET SCREEN AND LITERALLY ANOTHER ENDING, BUT DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS NUMBER FOR SO LONG 😭😭😭

Silly lil ramble about my silly lil simulacra story

First game protag is named Toby/Tobias, no that's not a reference to Anna's cat, it's an inside joke

Second game protag is named Raven. Why? Because, she's a goth chick who's a journalist and I love her.

Pipe dreams protag is named Finny, is it short for Finnegan?...idk

Third game protag is named Leigh, newbie journalist that does more than is required and takes their job too seriously.

Story is Finny reaches out to Toby after the events of pipe dreams (and a few months after the first game) when he hears Toby has some experience with phone glitches

And tobys like: how did you get my number? Who tf are you??? Get out of my house!?

But after some explaining Toby is like: oh yeah that's a simulacrums alright.

They both share their experiences with simulacrums

Toby knowing more about them because of the convo at the end of the game and more research on his side of things

And Finny knowing little to nothing about them at all because of the vagueness of it all

(also Toby knows gate 31 and finny hasn't put the pieces together yet)

During their text conversation is when Raven is conducting her investigation for the case, at this time Raven is texting herself notes about the case In case she loses her note pad.

Toby and finny are growing closer just randomly talking and sharing memes (including rex's music video)

It is good to mention that finny and Toby have never met IRL and while finny goes by his IRL name Toby does not and goes by Fan_Man or just Fan

That's all I really have so far, if people are interested I might add more to it

just saying, SPIDER WEB by melanie martinez would be great for a Simulacra animation

big simulacra spoilers under the cut

Ok, so we know Simulacra is very much about people not being what they seem and critiquing the internet...

...But could we talk about how it's also about everyone deserving a second chance no matter what? Cuz I don't ever see people talking about that.

In the first simulacra game, Taylor is a registered sex offender. And while only you can choose to believe whether it is true or not, the game makes you see that Taylor deserves a second chance at living as much as Anna does.

In Simulacra Pipe Dreams, you can see how your friend [I FORGOT HIS NAME I'M SORRY] has his struggles with addiction, and throughout the entire game you are made to try and save someone who before you never even knew.

And oh boy, Simulacra 2. Let's get a rundown on that!

There is the detective, who has stolen shit just to give the case a second chance [You see what I did there?] at a real resolution, who is then given a second chance by the department in the middle of the game after they find out, and you want to make sure this man's second chance goes well because you know him.

There's Rex, who literally has a pyramid scheme and knew what he was doing was completely wrong.

There's Mina, who lied about seeing ""her best friend"" die in a car crash. And there is also the whole "selling trauma" thing.

There is Arya too, who faked being an ambassador for Aluren. I'm 99% sure there's more than that but unfortunately my memory is trash and I'm going off the wiki which is quite bare bones.

But, in the end, the three above friends of Maya aren't just heartless people. You see how much they cared for Maya, whether it's them saying it themselves or through the actions you can see. In fact, them all blaming each other for her death probably is mostly because they actually cared.

In the end, literally the best ending is to save them all. You are still made to want to save them, no matter how awful the people may be.

Also, TRM and the ripple man literally both are proposing second chances to people. A second chance at popularity, a second chance at a better reality, do you see where I am coming from with the claim that this entire series is about second chances?

I may be wrong, and Simulacra 3 will come unto my world and shatter that idea. But from where I see, the biggest things about this story is the worst of humanity, but also the best of it still being in there, and the only steps one can take being the next.
