Simulacrum: Chapter One

Mechanics

Simulacrum: Chapter One is a game focused primarily on the exploration of numerous, spooky rooms and solving puzzles (we can set their difficulty level before starting the game). There are also various items spread around the locations, which are useful in later stages of the game.

Interactions with monsters in this part have been limited to a minimum. During the game there is one opponent and direct contact with him ends with instant death for the heroine. The monster appears in a specific section of the game. Abigail can't fight it, so in order to pass this stage we have to find the right way to escape.

Technical aspects

Simulacrum: Chapter One was built on the Unity engine. Graphics reminds of the first games from Silent Hill series. The locations have been kept in the dark style typical for this series. Monsters have original designs and they are not copies of the creatures from classic survival horrors. The models of the heroes are simple and thus characteristic. Strong inspiration from Silent Hill can also be seen in the soundtrack itself. Olivia Steele (Abigail) and one of the game's creators, Christopher A. Summer (Murdoch), lend their voices to the characters.
