The First One N Pipe Dreams Were Cool N SIM Is Good Too But The Next Two.. - Tumblr Posts

I want to share a small hypothesis about the world of Simulacra. I have to clarify that I haven't played the third game yet, and got only a couple of endings in the second one, because I can't stand this part. Perhaps somewhere there are direct explicit denials of the following, then take it just as another AU of mine.

So the thought is: what if the characters in these games are living in a simulation?

Let me explain my train of thought. None of the games give us more information about simulacrums than the fact that they are some powerful creatures that love to play around with human destinies. And their most important distinguishing feature is that they are all tightly tied to different kind of technologies. Then the question arises: did they exist before technology? Given HOW MUCH exactly this feature plays a role in the plots of games, I doubt it. However, it means that they were also created by people, which contradicts the fact that only a few units of the population know about them, and then only the very grains. Even the verified methods of destroying creatures do not exist, except for one of the positive ending of the second part, invented in the process.

The only significant thing that the creators gave us on this topic is an article from the second game. It says that the influencer awakened the beast simply by becoming popular. It didn't look like he had summoned a demon with a ritual, it was more like some being was just showing an interest in him. In addition, Charlie himself spoke of this creature as a Deity. And this, after all, correlates with past information - they have repeatedly proved in words and in deeds that in terms of abilities they are MUCH superior to people.

What I try to say is that one of the variations of the theory about our world as a matrix implies that there is a certain superior race that controls this matrix and we are a human zoo for it or something like that. In my version, simulacrum creatures actually are some kind of higher organisms and the world of characters for them is like a fancy board game with a ton of figurines laid out in front of their metaphorical noses. They lived quietly for themselves, and then something took place that irritated them and they began to abuse their little animals in various twisted ways.

Therefore, they do not have a full-fledged physical appearance and communicate only via messages in instant messengers or through human carriers. They are with people on different levels of reality, like pen pals from different cities, with the only difference being that one can kill another using only its will. Therefore, Taylor's consciousness was captured in seconds despite the distance. Therefore, in the bad ending, Teddy can be DELETED from the world. Therefore, Maya saw technical interference in reality, around her.

And you, as a player, are immersed in the shoes of just such a non-playable character, a faceless member of the crowd, who must find a way to agree with someone, who is actually playing here.
