Super cute game about adventuring around several locations and helping people to collect stamps and make progress. Huh, that sounds familliar… Oh but in this one your primary mode of interaction is with your fancy camera that comes with an optical zoom!
This game is beautiful, its all in greyscale, but its also all hand drawn artwork and comes together into this beautiful simple but not empty feeling world, complete with a whole bunch of incredibly charming characters, who each have their own problems or desires that you can help with through a combination of exploring and finding items, or by taking photos of stuff you find while exploring and showing them the photos.
Each person you help will give you a stamp, and collecting enough stamps will let you move on to the next area, until eventually you finally complete your adventure and can experience Toem. A beautiful phenomenon that only happens at the very peak of the mountain, but if you want to see it, you’ll have to go there yourself and truly experience it, not just look at nana’s scrapbook from when she made her trip.
The other thing you can do on your journey is find all the different animals hiding around the island and create a compendium of different animal pictures.
One thing to note though, there are a couple of tasks that require backtracking to complete. Photos from later areas that you’ll have to show to people you find in earlier ones, so if you’re stuck 100%ing a level, you can always move on and come back to it later when you know more.
