There's fun to be had looking back at pictures from earlier in the game, when you're still learning the rope and can barely keep the subject in frame, to the well-captured compositions that you manage to create as the game is wrapping up. It’s perfect for a rainy day or a long car journey it’s the rare game that feels genuinely cozy. It’s a short, relaxing game that we found ourselves easily finishing in one 3 or 4 hour sitting, but we loved every minute of it. You’re always rewarded with some funny dialogue, and a great picture, the best reward for aspiring photographers. They’re all fairly simple, the worlds aren’t huge so you’re not going to be searching for days, but none of them feel laborious. By the end of the game, we were walking around with a foam finger and a fishing hat, the peak of high fashion.Īrriving in a new location in Toem is always exciting, because you often have to talk to everyone in the area, and experience all the unique wildlife before you can start putting the pieces together and solving the puzzles. You’ll also earn new clothes and occasional upgrades to your camera. (How a ghost stole a sock in the first place, we're not sure – do they even have feet?) Anyway, as a reward you’ll earn a stamp, collecting enough stamps will let you move on to the next level. An early quest will see you look for someone’s missing sock, only to have to win it back in a game of chance from a ghost. Puzzles in Toem often involve a character asking you to show them a photograph of something they’re missing, or someone they’re looking for. ![]() For a game entirely about taking pictures, you’d think that this limited colour palette would hurt the experience, but it doesn’t if anything, it makes you focus on the composition of your shots more. ![]() ![]() The whole game is presented in black and white, with shades of grey used to add texture to the different areas you’ll visit. Before you can leave you’re of course given your obligatory running shoes (well, they’re clogs in Toem, but you get the idea) and you’re off, to be the very best – photographer, that is. You wake up in your small town, ready to start your grand adventure. By solving their problems with your trusty camera, you’ll earn stamps to allow you to move on to the next bus stop, ready to see what’s next. You’ll travel around the black and white world, encountering interesting characters, all set in diorama-style levels that are begging you to explore them. Toem is a charming photography game that’s full of great moments, a lot of heart, and clever puzzles. ![]()
