Simulacra_Simulation

Patch notes (v2): Now the options button actually takes you to options where you can set mouse sensitivity. Volume is still a bit borked, game is very quiet most of the time.

Simpler times. The good old days. At least, that’s how you want to remember them

Boot up your favorite FPS game. The same familiar maps. The same pixelated blood splatters. The same rush of the game looping over and over.

Just one more match. Just one more round.

“How long have you been playing?”

Something feels off. A flicker in the screen, a distortion in the chat. A crack in the cycle. You don’t question it. You never do.

But maybe this time, you should.

About the Game

• A fast-paced retro FPS—but with a twist.

• CRT distortion, VHS effects, déjà vu.

• An infinite loop waiting to be broken.

• Will you play forever? Or will you break the cycle?

simulacra_simulation is an experience about nostalgia, routine, breaking rotten cycles and the realities we construct around us.

What is Simulacra? What is Simulation?

Philosopher Jean Baudrillard argued that in modern society, we no longer interact with reality itself—we interact with its copies. Its symbols. Its simulations. The things we experience are not “real” in the traditional sense, but versions of something that no longer exists, or perhaps never did.

A simulacrum is a copy without an original. A simulation is a system that mimics reality so well that it becomes reality. And when a simulation repeats endlessly, looping over and over, it replaces meaning itself.

So, what happens when you’re trapped inside that loop? What happens when the nostalgia you cling to—the “good old days”—aren’t real, but a simulation of a past that never existed?

Press Start. See for yourself.
