Technical aspects

Replica is an original adventure and puzzle game, in which our task is to hack into a smartphone and get as much information out of it as possible. It was developed by indie studio Somi.

Plot

Replica allows us to taste the life of an associate of the national intelligence bureau. Our principals have given us a smartphone, which we have to hack in order to obtain as much information as possible from it, throwing a shadow of suspicion of terrorism on its owner. Both the fate of this man and our future depend on what data we manage to obtain and the decisions we make. The story told in the game has 12 different endings.

Game mechanics

Gameplay in Replica takes place entirely on the screen of a smartphone. In order to get as much information from it as possible, we have to read messages, view photos and browse through the phone settings. But that's not all, because we also have to get passwords, which will allow us to hack into social network accounts. Besides, from time to time we have to make decisions; although it's only up to us whether we answer a given call or reply to incoming messages, it's worth remembering that our actions will shape the further course of the story.
