About The Journalist
Equipped with 35mm film camera, a journalist embarks on a journey into a neighborhood of Seoul that is slated to be redeveloped. In the process of capturing the vanishing venues of the city, the journalist discovers the big world full of stories.
The Journalist is a photography action adventure filled with unique challenges. Sometimes, you have to take pictures of only one person in a crowded marketplace. Sometimes, you have to take picture of a car that interrupts you by pointing spotlight.
You can only take twelve pictures per roll. If you move while the shooting, the shot will be ruined. Also, if the film is overexposed by light, it's not usable. Take a perfect photo that meet these conditions. You will be able to check out the outcome only after developing the roll at the lab.
The Journalist is a nonviolent action game that aims to capture the magic of film photography.

For starters, the game itself is very much simple to learn, the graphics and overall design is charming and adorable, it's inclusive of PC rigs (which means that even if your computer is old and crappy, there's a high chance the game will still run on it smoothly). The game doesn't require you to grind like it's your last day on earth and is very much chill to its core. But even then, there's still much that can be polished and improved. For one, it would be better to have some skybox applied on the game world so that when you take pictures of the targeted characters, the background wouldn't be limited to an empty gray void that looks ominous when the map's end is in view, two, how the camera considers the quality of the photos you take can still be improved as it might be a bit disappointing that even though the target is clearly in the picture, it's still tagged as "out of sight", without the polish, it limits the player's creativity in terms of how they capture photographs. Third is a bit more on the AI side, NPCs still have some room for improvement as the pathfinding is a bit off, in some instances they just walk into each other and end up stuck in one place while displaying t…2 found this helpful
The concept and mechanics is fun. Maybe there can be development into game with more content and game length. The game characters are well made, I wish there was more background objects/environment/skybox the camera can capture. Music is >>> dope. :^)
Good game for the price
