While I LOVED Simulacra and rated that five stars, Pipe Dreams just... didn’t give me that same excitement. I still credit the developers for how much time they spend making it seem as real of an experience as possible. However, while it certainly borrows ideas from Simulacra (the whole “being consumed literally by social media/gaming apps”) it didn’t have the same mystery and play time as Simulacra. The whole thing honestly just felt like forcing me to play a game within a game that I didn’t want to play, combined with my “friend” losing himself/his personality to and within the game, because evidently it’s that addicting for people who don’t have much else going for them in life. Yes, I get the joke but... you know how someone can tell a joke that may be funny, everyone laughs, and because that person got a response, they try to continue the joke even though everyone’s long over it by now? That’s what this game feels like. The concept is instantly played out but just keeps going even though it ceases to be entertaining. SIM was good, but too short.

About to play Simulacra 2 now, so hoping that’s closer to Simulacra 1 than this, and I’ll enjoy it more I’m sure. I guess no harm in playing Pipe Dreams. I can’t complain much bc it was free. I don’t regret playing it but I would have, had I paid for it. Just average...

Love this game so much but it keeps glitching out and freezing and I have to close the app and restart it making my lose whatever score I originally had and sometimes convos I recently had which I will have to repeat I guess it doesn’t automatically save so when it glitches it’s gone? I don’t know (by the way, when I said I closed the app game I meant I swiped it away [iPhone/iPad/iOS] not deleted it or offloaded it either) so please fix this so I can finally finish this game because I enjoy this otherwise and would like to continue this thank you hoping to maybe if I’m lucky see an update available soon that is all but if it keeps crashing like this then I refuse to play anymore until it’s fixed so please do thank you xo

This seems like a fun game so far, but the ads are too much. I understand that some ads are made by the people to be a joke, but even so, I tend to delete the games with a load of ads because you can always earn money back, but you can’t get back time.

Another is the “flapee bird” game. I’ve probably gotten half way or further in the overall game so far, but while playing the flapee game to continue the story, it kind of freezes? Whenever I crash my bird, the app appears to freeze, but it still plays music and some things still appear to move, but I can’t do anything except stare at the screen and listen... this has happened at least 4 times now, and when I have to go out and reload the app, I have to start back at whatever checkpoint I was at. That kind of takes away from the experience.

Don’t get me wrong! The app is really neat and the box concept seems cool, with how you have to observe and look for the videos. It also brings an interesting realization to free apps and their ads. I do still recommend this game because it will keep you busy, just go in expecting “ads” (mostly repetitive fakes, but still as irritating as real ones) and possible slight issues like in-game crashes(?), nothing major though!

Overall, I have mixed feels, but the negative is minor.
