Sara Is Missing, or S.I.M., is an adventure/horror game created by Monsoon Lab for Halloween Jam 2016. You find a phone whose data has been almost wholly corrupted. After doing a system restore to before the data was corrupted, you discover an assistant A.I. which greets you as Sara, before realizing that you are not her or with her. With only the limited information left on her phone, you must search through her emails, texts, contacts, and so on in order to find out what happened to her.The game is available for Android phones and Mac OS X + Windows PCs. A Spiritual Successor named SIMULACRA was released near Halloween 2017.

Genre Shift: At first, it seems like another horror mystery thriller with a flavor of sci-fi due to IRIS, but then terrifying and psychological paranormal activities kick in soon enough.

Poor Communication Kills: If Derek had told Sara that he got a last minute job that involves a flight on her birthday that involved photographing nudes for a fashion shoot, she wouldn't have broken up with him, because she's not upset that he is photographing nude women as it is part of his job, she's upset that he lied to her.

The Unreveal: At the end of the game, we're left with more questions than answers. Why does IRIS have a similar name to Irizu? What's Sara doing with an incredibly advanced AI on her phone? How did she even lose her phone? How did you find it? Who are these cultists? And what's going to happen to you next?

Telling Irizu to let Faith die for Sara's survival will, of course, result in Faith's death. If you decide on Sara, then she will die and IRIS will imply to make sure you will regret your choice. However, if you don't say any name, IRIS will override your message and say Faith anyway. Doing this will result in IRIS losing its trust (or faith) in you.

Asshole Victim

comment
Asshole Victim: Several of Sara's contacts are, to put it bluntly, assholes. Her ex-boyfriend broke her heart, her outgoing friend Faith pressures her into parties she doesn't want to go to, her mother is controlling and emotionally abusive, Buddy only talks to her in order to sexually harass her over text messages... the list goes on. It makes it a little easier to post the cult's link to them if you use it as a means of punishing them for their behavior.

Hollywood Satanism: A mysterious cult that's into satanic rituals and kills people because they can/it's necessary, and no one knows about them without getting killed or joining. Ironically, their leader Irizu expresses a religiously fanatical philosophy of "helping God decide who to kill", though it's not clear if it's genuine.
