Camille and Laura

this game made me cry so it's totally a thumb up i wonder how to get the achievement with performance review? i mean is there a way not to [spoiler]get fired[/spoiler]? please answer in comments if it's possible, i'm geniunely curious the artstyle is what got me into playing the demo and buying the game on release, and it didn't disappoint, i love the non-usual approach to visuals, liked sound design as well. the humorous side is also good and subtle

Highly recommend this, it's quite touching. I think the themes and narrative inform the aesthetic so don't let how this looks fool you if you're off-put by screenshots or trailers. Also I hate coffee in real life but became a coffee addict in this game, completely of my own volition

Camille and Laura is about performative parenting. Not the kind you do for your own benefit, the kind where you feel like you pulled off the parenting equivalent of a kick flip. No, the performative parenting in Camille and Laura is the kind we rarely own up to do, the kind of parenting we do to let the little people we’re in charge of believe we know what we’re doing. No matter how into debt that frozen pizza puts you, you serve it up as if it’s a gourmet meal; no matter how little sleep you got last night, there’ll always be breakfast on the table; and no matter how long your day was, there’s always a bedtime story. This is the part of Camille and Laura I feel in my bones: that deep-down fear that all of this other stuff will rob my child of the childhood they deserve. The dirty truth—one that comes out in the game’s standout moment when Laura goes to therapy the first time—is that we all have off days. We all have days where the pressures of it all compress us too much and all that’s left is a ragged, hollow husk of a person. But there’s something else hidden in Camille and Laura: no matter how bad it gets, we perform the routine of being a parent, because yes, it’s hard, but, …

An adorable and heartfelt little point and click game that stays grounded in everyday life throughout. It gives you just what you need to want to push ahead and see what lies around the corner without overstaying its welcome. The main draw is for sure the unique art style, which fits the story being told to a tee and makes for a very intriguing contrast with the thoughts of our main character. Ultimately, Camille and Laura is a fun bite-sized experience whose unique look helps it stand out and whose simple gameplay is perfectly conducive of its themes and overall message. Also teaches proper safety when making crème brûlée.

A beautiful look at being a parent, being overwhelmed, and the desperate feeling of trying to navigate the world, yourself, while providing the best life for your child.

The game is charming and the art is adorable!
