i feel like it's meant to be a representation of one's reflection as well as one's "life"/persona online, focusing primarily on the online aspect of course ("Beyond your glass screens. Behind your black mirrors. Is a reflection of your reality. I am that reality"). "simulacrum" also means an image or representation of someone/something as well as a mock, unsatisfactory representation of someone or something..."simulacra" is the plural form of it. it makes sense since a reflection in a "black mirror" is a perfect reflection of u but reversed (if u think of it from the perspective of an actual person looking at u, "their" left is your right, etc). as for your persona "beyond your glass screens", this is obvious: a lot of ppl lie about who they truly r when theyre on the internet in order to impress or due to low self-esteem. from what ive seen from screenshots and a couple clips, correct me if i'm wrong, Simulacra seems to be attracted to ppl who make a fake persona online while also being able to see through others' masquerades..."a worthy pretender" as it calls the player when we call it out as not being Anna. it wants to bring about a "new order" of "perfect" pretenders into its reality by killing the person's material body via suicide or murder
