Waiting on the sequel.
So who is taking care of her cat?
I went looking for Sara and bad things happened. I made a video of it. It's a bit long but I didn't want to edit too much out of it.
... im scared so much im uninstalling it. sorry but you need to add a warning that this isnt real, for us cowards!
This was a very well put together text adventure with video elements, intrigue, decent twists and some well placed jumpscares too. We had a great time playing it and making some tough choices along the way. Recommended.
Also did the second part of this.

You found a phone belonging to a missing person. What would you do?
Sara has disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and your only lead is her mobile phone.
Search for clues by investigating Sara's personal messages, notes, emails, pictures and videos while trying to piece together her final days. Unlock password protected files, uncover hidden messages and decrypt lost data and figure out out where she went, what she did, and how someone can disappear without a trace so suddenly.
About the game:
Experience first hand a found footage style mobile game. Sara is Missing (SIM) is all about the horrors of mobile technology and touches upon the voyeuristic pleasure that one gets from prying through another person's personal items. We store so much information about ourselves on our mobile devices that deducing what we really are like in real life becomes as simple as tapping on a screen.
Features:
Multiple choices will lead to multiple outcomes and endings.
Chat with different people at the same time.
Receive phone calls from NPCs and other mysterious callers.
Hidden sub plots and extra information to unlock.
Receive videos and photos from other NPCs.
Simulated mobile phone helper, providing hints.
