Photo-Life - Rina's Journey

[b]These are the perks of being a photographer![/b] This is a very unusual game, in a bad way. After a short dialogue, we will have to set up the filters so that the photo becomes clear. And if clicking checkboxes isn't a problem, the sliders need to be moved perfectly straight to the millimeter. Sometimes this makes completing a level really long. And that's not all. Every 5 levels, we face a "Boss" in the form of 5 filters at once, which will take a really long time to solve. So here's a lifehack for you - Complete 2 easy levels and skip the remaining 3 for $100 (Only do this in the level, not in the menu, otherwise it won't count). Sometimes you might get lucky and the level will be completed from the beginning, which is very nice. Well, the gallery. All the artworks are drawn by hand, however half of them will be fan-made, with a different art style, and overall it doesn't blend very well. Otherwise, Rina is very beautiful, even though there is no 18+ content here, there is THINGS to look at. I really love this publisher, but I got bored playing this game((( So I recommend buying it on sale or with the intension of supporting the author. [code]If you read the review and li…

Rina's journey is an SFW version of Ringsel in trouble with a different puzzle. Do you like playing with photos? Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a photographer? Well, this game won't help you with such desires, as you won't be taking any photos here. Your task is to adjust variables to make the photo look presentable. You're playing with aberration, glow, color blend, etc. Sounds like fun, right? Right? Well, I enjoyed the task initially, but after fifty photos or so, it gets tedious. There is no change to gameplay as you progress whatsoever. The task overstays its welcome by a long shot. Sure, you can spend some bucks to auto-complete stages, but the pool of money is too limited to skip all stages. You'll just have to grit your teeth and endure if you feel like unlocking all pics. I compared this title to Ringsel in trouble since there are a lot of similarities. The photo unlocking is one of them. Another is that the stages are split into twelve months (+ bonus pics), each with five pics to unlock. Every group of five contains two easy, two medium, and one hard level of difficulty. Difficulty is diversified by the number of presets to play with: two, three, or fo…

Its just too frustrating. Its a trial and error game. Just mess with controls until you get it right. Not very fun in my opinion.

Fun game but don't have nsfw

This is a cute little puzzle game where you use various sliders to correct photos in order to progress to the next stage. The subject of the photos is a blue-haired incredibly busty woman who is conflicted between wanting to become a teacher or a model. There are some minor visual novel elements where you talk to her in-between months, but the meat of the gameplay is the puzzle levels itself. Sadly I find these incredibly frustrating. You need to have a clear eye for photo-editing, and some options barely seem to do anything. What's worse is certain sliders (like glow and negative) directly impact each other, so finding the correct balance between them is an exercise in frustration. While you have unlimited tries to work it out, there are simply too many options to do trial and error on the harder levels. It would be nice if there was some kind of heat index to let you know if you're close or not to a particular setting, but if you fail to understand photo-editing then the game becomes very frustrating and you're unlikely to progress far. I like the idea, and I love the character, the execution just makes it more annoying than enjoyable. I won't give it a bad score, but I kinda w…

great time killer game, art is cute
