Beta Testing Round 2 and New Features!


We’ve been working very hard fixing all the issues that our testers have found so far. We noticed that some of them struggled with a couple of our puzzles so we’ve been busy implementing… riddle difficulty!

You can now choose between easy/normal difficulty. Easy will offer a few extra hints for some of our most difficult puzzles to help players come to the solution.

In the options you can now also choose from lower resolutions that your monitor doesn’t support which means Simulacrum can now support a wider range of PC hardware since lowering the resolution greatly increases performance, especially on less powerful machines. (However, if you are looking for a more retro experience, we suggest lowering the resolution to around 896x504, disabling anti-aliasing and using single v-sync.)

We also very happy to announce a second batch of beta testers will be testing the game to make sure these new features work as expected.

We’ve added a small handful of things, made a couple of changes but overall (fingers crossed) Simulacrum is more stable, more polished and edging closer to a release.

The end of the year is approaching, to round it off we've got a little sneak peak of what we've been working on for Simulacrum – Chapter Two.

Expand for more on what we've been doing!

Last month we showed a little of Abigail's apartment environment along with one of the enemies found there. Here's a further look at the apartment you'll be exploring in Chapter Two.

We took a break last month, but we are back in time for Halloween to share with you a first look at one of the new puzzles in Chapter Two.

Closed beta is now live!

From today we're starting to show off isolated models without the context of a full scene to keep you updated (and teased) without spoiling too much of the mystery, starting with this rusty oven. Read more below.

Version 1.2.1 of Simulacrum: Chapter One is out, adding new languages: Japanese, Ukrainian and Russian. Spanish and French have also been improved!

We thank our translators for all their hard work. We didn't expect to support so many languages!

Here's a peek at another area you'll find in Simulacrum: Chapter Two.

Following on from the puzzle preview from last month, we are giving a look at another new puzzle you'll encounter in Chapter Two. This is going to be our last update for a while.

Gloomiebloomie Shader!

Version 1.1.0 is now available! With an improved texture for Abigail, an overhauled French translation, difficulty changes, and more (expand to see patch notes).
