FOMOGRAPHY

Seems like a nice game so far (about 2 hours in, playing just a little at a time). A down-to-earth game, with a touch of mystery and reality that helps (me) rekindle a desire to take photos and explore the world through (young?) eyes. The music is pleasant, the character 3D art has a unique cute style, and the world seems interesting enough... (Oh and there's a day/night cycle, characters and locations open up or change depending on the time. Gotta get those sunrise/sunset shots!) I wonder if there's a deadline or if you can just sit on a bench for a weeks or months lol. The game has a respectable level of polish. The writing seems mostly fine, though could use a voice over to really bump things up a notch; the good music helps fill the gap. Gameplay consists of wandering around: either following directions or just stumbling into new events and characters, camera ready... Speaking of characters, they always switch to the same pose each time you whip out a camera for that moment, and dialogue tends to repeat after you've talked twice. A bit of variation would have been nice with the poses to add extra life... And there are parts of the game that expect you to react a cer…

You help characters by taking pictures of different things. This while you also solve some mysteries that has puzzles. It is a nice game for those that like exploration, mysteries, solve puzzles, taking pictures and a story that develops the further you get with helping the different characters. I enjoyed it and it was fun solving the mysteries and puzzles and see how the story developed. Had a good time with it.

I had a lovely experience playing through this chill yet deep game. I played through almost entirely with my SO watching and collaborating with puzzles and it was a great time. The album collection mechanic really scratched my collectathon itch and I adored the personalization flair given the way pictures you take end up impacting the world and UI in various fun ways (There were loads fun moments where something in world would reference a silly picture I'd taken previously and we'd both chuckle). I was also not expecting the deeper mysteries you uncover here and found myself caught up trying to put the dots together. It ends up getting quite heartfelt and a little heavy even so we were hooked through to the end. I highly recommend!
