It's one thing to call a game "small," maybe referring to its length or something about its quaint aesthetics. But TOEM, a game about the joy of photography, is small in the way a snow-topped winter cabin is small, or a sleeping cat is small, or a plate of cube-shaped cheeses and nicely sliced meats is small. It's small in totality; pristine, complete, and precise. It's perfect for snuggling under a blanket on a quiet evening with a scented candle and a mug of cocoa to finish in one contented sitting.Show moreShow less

Ok so for starters TOEM isn't a bad game, the reason I'm not recommending it is because I just have a hard time finding someone I would actually recommend this to. It's not a true puzzle game, the "puzzles" consist of people either explicitly or vaguely telling you what they want you to take a picture of (depending on how far you are into the game) and many times the wording in the game is so deliberately unintuitive that you become annoyed at what otherwise is supposed to be a relaxing game. To put it into perspective, I finished the game after roughly 3 hrs of "gameplay" (while going for 100% and as slowly as humanly possible taking pictures of literally everything) but was then forced to run around for about an hour and a half because of a handful of side missions one of which required you to take a picture of "a scorching flame" - which should clearly refer to a fire... oh boy. This quest of course being in the same vicinity as a literal fireplace and If you've gone into the game blind and tried for 100% I probably don't have to mention the "you found us" achievement. Good luck haha. This leads me to my last and most crucial point, it's price. It's an extremely niche game and its price of admission is wayyyy too steep for its length and scope for me to be able to recommend. This game offers little to no replayability, has no long lasting impression and it's core content can be finished in well under an hour, speedruns first day already doing sub 20 min. It of course doesn't help that its shared release date was overshadowed by a much more anticipated "demo" Deltarune. I truly believe this should be somewhere in between the 10-15$ bracket at best and although widely well received, you can tell this from its overall lack of reviews. This game felt to me like a more contemporary "Fez" a game worth checking out if you enjoyed this, which happens to also be around 10$~ I also thought I'd mention the ice biome briefly before closing.. I've seen people get stuck inside walls while attempting to make use of the climbing ropes and although I've not personally experienced such game breaking bugs, the ropes single handedly at minimum, took away 30 min of my total life expectancy that I will never get back. The problem is the path finding in this game being absolute - inadvertently at certain times, and once you start the climbing animation, you can't stop it and are forced to endure seeing him climb up, and then down just for him to do it again ad infinitum. Tl;dr: Game isn't bad just not worth 20$, get it on sale and only if you really believe this is something for you. Also f the snow ropes.Show moreShow less

My Playtime: 6.2h (100% achievement, finished the game) Grindy Achievement(s): No. Optional Achievement(s): Yes (38 achievements). Difficult Achievement(s): No. Intro TOEM is a short, quest-based photography game where you need to utilize your photography skills to finish the quests. The game offers 4+1 areas with ~10 quests each. Pros: - Tricky quests that require you to figure out what you need to capture - A lot of quests with varying difficulty - See the world differently with your camera Cons: - Some quests can be too vague to solve Specs Intel Core i5-9300H 2.40GHz, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Should you buy this game? Yes. If you enjoy playing photography games, buy this game. In-Depth Review Visuals TOEM is portrayed in monochrome, 2.5D visuals. 2D characters will be placed on top of 3D models while still making it look as if the game is hand-drawn. The simplistic style also works to make the characters look cute, both humans and animals. Animals look different from each other, and the in-game marking does a good job to tell if you have already captured them with your camera. Story There is barely any story in the game. It will only tell the "main plot" when you get your camera for the first time. The rest of the dialogues will only cover the quests that you will take, which vary based on the person. As for the dialogues themselves, they are simple enough to understand although those who are lazy to read them can still revisit the objectives from the quest book. The Game Gameplay As I said before, the game is a quest-based photography game. You'll be able to take on quests that will utilize your camera and/or its functions to complete. The game will also help a bit in this manner by showing the number of quests available in each area in the quest book. There are 4+1 areas that you can visit, and although the first area only has 3 quests, the other three has 10+ quests that you can take. Your camera isn't only used for taking a picture, though. Since you can't rotate the camera freely without being in the photo mode, you'll have to use your in-game camera as a substitute. Objects and animals will also be easier to track in this mode since the game will automatically give a square box to everything. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2740243198 Animals Animals will be spread in the areas you traverse, which can be captured with your camera. Captured animals will be categorized in the album, and just like the quests, you will be able to see all animals that are available in each area from there. Despite offering a feature to photo animals, you are not required to take a photo of them. The only animals you need to capture are those that are needed for quests, and there are not many, to begin with. That being said, animals are easy to spot so you can always do that while scouring the areas for quests. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2609089486 Quests I found quests to be clever. The game will usually tell you what you need to do to solve them, but they are not as direct as you think. Although it's satisfying once you figure out the correct answer, this approach can backfire sometimes since there will be no other clue that can help you if you are unable to figure it out from the first hint. You are not required to finish all quests. The game is more aimed toward casual players by giving a minimum amount of quests that you can clear before moving to the next area. This is incredibly helpful since some areas have quests that can be tricky to solve. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2604484054 Length and Difficulty I finished everything in 4.1h. Although some quests can be tricky, it is still easy to finish them all. Moreover, since you'll be able to continue playing after you finished the game, you can always revisit everything to finish your remaining business. I found the behavior to be weird though; NPC will act as if you are talking to them for the first time, before realizing that it is not their first time talking to you. It's as if the game resets its state to when you play it for the first time while still retaining all of your data. Others It took me a while to realize that submitting a quest requires the object of interest to be marked on the camera. Also, it's hard to position the stamps that are obtained after finishing the quests manually - I wish there is an option to make them automatically align with each other. Conclusion I was completely hooked on TOEM. I liked both quests and photography aspects of the game, which were done brilliantly. All quests can be finished in a short amount of time, and they don't feel repetitive at all due to the variations. Some quests might puzzle me at first, especially since they cant be cleared right away, and some might be tricky to solve, but they are still fun to solve. All in all, I really enjoyed it and can definitely recommend it if you like quest-based, photography games. However, since the game is very short, the price to playtime ratio might be quite steep for some people.Show moreShow less

Personally, there isn't much satisfaction to be had. You point your camera. You take photos. You speak with people. Rinse, repeat. If you'd like a wholesome casual photography experience, go for it. But if you played this game just to have a new experience, you may be disappointed.Show moreShow less

Similar to something like a short hike, but with the camera being the focus of every puzzle and other element. It's a very well made loop and feels very personalized without being too obscure. The art style is awesome and I love the detail they put into the functionality of the camera and how it identifies things. The game surpassed my expectations despite its short length and outside of a bit of wandering towards the end for 100%, it never felt boring or tedious. Definitely recommend.Show moreShow less

really surface level there's no actual characters or story and the gameplay loop - talk to people -> take photos / point your camera at stuff -> repeat - is tiresome. there's a lot of customization options for the photos: filters, frames, selfie mode and a tripod, but the world is too empty to want to use them more than a few times. the enivronments (logicity is the best!) and characters are neatly designed and would look much better in colour (black and white works for the city). it's just not really eye-pleasing to wander around a monochromatic forest or beach or take photos in such places. minor things like animal journal or various clothes are fun but they can't redeem the game.Show moreShow less

I’m totally obsessed with this game. Simple black-white line visuals bring super chill casual vibes, and just enjoying soft bgm plus taking nice shots can calm me down a lot. What’s more it has main quests as well so u can keep moving on with the game. Only downside is some puzzles are too confusing that I gotta check walkthrus, yet the whole experience is still peak level all the way.Show moreShow less

My character keeps auto walking in one direction and won't stop. I tried unplugging all my sim racing gear thinking it was a hardware conflict, but it didn't fix anything. This ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bug pops up in so many indie games and it's getting really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying. I'm done trying to fix it myself. So, ♥♥♥♥ YOU and take this negative review.Show moreShow less

The game was really fluffy which can be nice, but some parts were actually somewhat frustrating. Twice I had no ways to finish a task in an area, and the lack of interaction actually left me think that the game could have a bug in it. These situations took me out of the game quite literally as I tried restarting the game to fix the situation. Overall the game isn't bad, but my very neutral opinion of it somewhat leaves me wondering if it was a good use of my time :/Show moreShow less
