| SIMULACRA (Video Game) / int_109dbb51 | comment |
Pull the Thread: Towards the end of the game, the Simulacra messes up when it-as-Anna pretends that it's texting you over James' phone… when you know that James left his cell phone behind. It realizes this, changes its text background to its distinct inkblot, and converses with you as itself from then on. | |

Multiple Endings: Much like the original, there are four endings symbolized by different icons. In This Together: You and Teddy are both erased from reality. Nonexistence: You are erased from reality while Teddy is spared. Bye Teddy...: Teddy is erased from reality while you are spared.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| SIMULACRA (Video Game) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: One character mentions that he once really had to go to the restroom and ended up peeing in a stairwell, only to have a mother and her kid walk in. It sounds like the typical Potty Emergency joke, but in context it's Taylor explaining how he became a registered sex offender. It's a significant plot point, as it adds strain to his relationship to Greg and the player. His simulacrum is also weaker for this reason, making him the Simulacra's target in the climax. | |

Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers!: Done in a roundabout way; the AI in the final time you play FlapeeBird replaces any hopeful messages with bleak statements, because at this point it's having a full-scale impatient tantrum and trying to lure people into playing the Fantastic Drug of a game. It's not a trustworthy source, and sending hopeful messages is key to saving Teddy. | |

Domestic Abuse | |
| SIMULACRA (Video Game) / int_590eb583 | comment |
Both Greg and Taylor are set up as suspects in Anna's disappearance. Greg has anger issues, leading to the possibility that Anna either fled him to avoid Domestic Abuse or was murdered by him. It's later revealed Anna met up with someone on Spark, pointing towards Taylor which isn't helped by his status as a sex offender. However, neither are involved. Greg does have poor anger management skills, but he wouldn't be the type to physically hurt someone, even if just out of cowardice. Taylor got his sex offender status for public urination, and wasn't the one who Anna met up with. Instead, she met up with the Simulacra-as-Aulner. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| SIMULACRA (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: In order to get the best ending, you have to be a complete jackass. You have to lie as much as possible, get Greg arrested by having him turn himself in, hook Anna up with her best friend Ashley without her permission, report her coworker for sexual harassment (okay, that one would be the good option if it didn't also involve blackmail), and fake an interview under Anna's name to get her a new job. In the end, it makes Anna's life better, but that's only because the simulacra is so impressed with you being a completely manipulative bastard. All the while, you, as Greg's accomplice, stealing Anna's identity, and blackmailing someone get off scot-free. In order to even guess that you had to do all of that, you would have to understand the personality of the villain from the start AND stoop to their level, the first of which is only possible if you beat the game already, and the second one would be difficult for most players to stomach. | |

Arc Words | |
| SIMULACRA (Video Game) / int_7464705c | comment |
Arc Words: "I am her as she is me." Both Anna and Taylor (though it turns into "I am it...") say this. The Simulacra itself says this during its chat with the Player. "Nothing is what it seems" appears a few times throughout whenever the phone goes crazy and you get messages from some named Aulner. Turns out this is James trying to warn you about the Simulacra. | |

| SIMULACRA (Video Game) / int_898ff050 | comment |
Villain Protagonist: Downplayed. The player, in order to find out where Anna is, performs criminal acts such as blackmail, impersonation, and later, murder-by-proxy. But if one gets the Golden Ending, all of that becomes justified as both Anna and Taylor live and you managed to (temporarily) defeat a digital evil. But no manner what ending you get, you still have committed numerous criminal acts and have to live with your actions, no manner how great the cost. | |

Big Bad: The one who is responsible for Teddy's strange behavior and is out to get him is the FlapeeBird AI/Simulacrum, which controls the FlapeeBird game and seeks to kill and assimilate victims into its consciousness, much like the original Simulacra. It’s not clear what relationship they have. | |

"Not So Different" Remark: In the best ending, the Simulacra recognizes you as its intellectual and spiritual equal if you successfully undo its influence via manipulation, and this allows you to convince it to let Taylor and Anna go. He even almost drops the trope name outright: | |

Shout-Out: After the phone seemingly gets wiped and you're asked to input another name, type in JackSepticeye. IRIS will automatically change it to the YouTuber's real name, which Jack himself discovered during his Let's Play of the game, to his horrified surprise. Similarly, typing "Markiplier" provides his real name. Mark didn't discover the easter egg however. The Simulacra, when introducing themself, tellingly refers to smartphones and computers as "black mirrors". | |

Red Herring | |
| SIMULACRA (Video Game) / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: The phone's OS is called IRIS, and claims to be watching over you in the email you receive upon restarting the phone. However, this does not come up as a plot point in the game. It may be connected to the Simulacra. Both Greg and Taylor are set up as suspects in Anna's disappearance. Greg has anger issues, leading to the possibility that Anna either fled him to avoid Domestic Abuse or was murdered by him. It's later revealed Anna met up with someone on Spark, pointing towards Taylor which isn't helped by his status as a sex offender. However, neither are involved. Greg does have poor anger management skills, but he wouldn't be the type to physically hurt someone, even if just out of cowardice. Taylor got his sex offender status for public urination, and wasn't the one who Anna met up with. Instead, she met up with the Simulacra-as-Aulner. James Aulner is able to pinpoint everything in the lives of Anna and Cassie. When reading over his texts and messages to Anna & Cassie, it becomes clear that this was the Simulacra trying to get its next victim. | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
| SIMULACRA (Video Game) / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: To Sara is Missing. Likely intentional, given that the creators of S.I.M. worked on SIMULACRA. Many elements are shared between the two games, such as: The victim being a girl with a four-letter name and two A's in her name (Sara and Anna). The victim being a Kindhearted Cat Lover. The victim having a strained relationship with their mother due to career-related disagreements. The victim has at least one friend who was shown to be kind and supportive, and clearly the Only Sane Man due to them being genuinely concerned about their friend (Aya and Ashley). The victim being sexually harassed at least once by an acquaintance (Buddy and Murv), and the player having the option to punish them accordingly by either getting them fired (Murv) or potentially dooming them to die (Buddy). The victim having recently gone through a bad break-up which she initiated (Sara because Derek ditched her on her birthday to take nude photos of another girl, and Anna because Greg cheated on her with a client and almost got her pregnant). The player being contacted by someone named James who helps them find the victim. Both Jameses are doomed to die, and cannot be saved. The player being forced to choose which one of two people to save. Whoever is not saved dies, and the ultimate fate of whoever is saved is usually left ambiguous. Slightly subverted with SIMULACRA due to the fact that it is possible to save both Anna and Taylor, though it can be difficult. A digital being going rogue in some way or another, either by kidnapping their victims and melding them into their larger consciousness (the Simulacra), or by being a Knight Templar for their owner at the cost of others' lives (IRIS). The main antagonist being a mysterious, gender-neutral being who is responsible for the disappearance of the victim and believing that they are somehow justified in their actions. | |

It is only after you sacrifice Taylor that the Simulacra clarifies that it meant Anna's physical body will be returned, and that her consciousness/soul will still be absorbed into its influence. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: The good ending requires you to lie indiscriminately in order to get the characters to act in opposition to their normal selves. If you manage to hook Ashley up with Anna, get Greg to turn himself into the police, and get Murv fired, the Simulacra recognizes your ability to manipulate the world around you and spares both Anna and Taylor. | |

Cast from Lifespan: You can pay for Eggs in "hours". If you do that, your sight starts getting darker and hazier, and doing that too much will result in getting the worst ending even before entering the final sequence. One extreme case is the Subscription, which lets you automatically win the final level but condemns you to forfeit your existance to the Simulacra. | |
