I think you should play Photographs. I tried to make it a little bit different from most games. It sort of mixes puzzle and narrative in a ( hopefully ) interesting way. You might get stuck on some puzzles, but you should never not know what you need to do to proceed. So what do you actually do? Well, you search around and solve puzzles, and as you do so you'll be developing a scene in front of you and hearing a story. I want to the story to really stand out, so the game has got really beautiful pixel art and top notch music, combined with gameplay and narrative beats that individually would do a pretty good job of telling that story, but come together to really make something special. It's a pretty short game too. I would say about three hours. There are loads of games these days and who has time to play them all? I've tried to keep things as condensed as possible rather than add filler, to be as respectful for your time as I can be. Each story is in a different setting and has completely different gameplay mechanics. It ended up being a LOT of work, but It's kind of necessary: The gameplay itself has a hand in telling the story, so what works for one tale wouldn't work for another. I don't think there's anything else like it out there, so if nothing else, It should give you a unique experience. So yeah. That's my pitch, If that sounds interesting to you, give it a shot!
🤝👌🏻👏🏻
Although I’m much more a fan of match-3 battling RPG’s like #ymbab rather than somewhat level repetitive hit n miss/trial and error puzzling type games...this one is just nothing less than spectacularly good! Occasionally new levels/stories would be appreciated though.
Depressing stories
I wish I had read the reviews that these stories are so depressing and macabre! I regret buying these. It looked so whimsical but it’s sooo depressing and the other puzzles aren’t interesting or fun.
Great story but you must love puzzles
I really like this developers previous apps so I gave this one a try. The story, sound effects and originality are all great. I think this was a successful attempt to go outside their comfort zone and try something different. That being said, the puzzles were too frustrating. Some made sense and were more or less simple. But others required too much time to figure out the weird puzzle mechanics being introduced. I could have handled it better if I could willingly skip puzzles whenever I wanted but instead the app forces you to try some arbitrary number of times. I spent too long purposefully trying to fail the puzzle so that I could skip and see the story. Eventually I just stopped playing cause it was frustrating.
A masterpiece
This game is truly a masterpiece for mobile gaming. The stories draw you in, getting you emotionally involved, while the puzzles challenge you and help to unfold the story line. I had to look up one puzzle to help me solve it, it can be difficult at times. But it’s an offline game so is great to take on a long plane ride, and the commentary feature is incredible. Coming from a game development background, it’s so cool to hear how the developer chose to do certain things to advance the story or craft puzzles. Highly recommend playing the second time around with commentary on. Great work all around, 5 stars. Warning: can be dark at times.
Great, Unique game
The puzzles are good but the story telling is what makes this a great game. No complaints.
👎 should only be 99¢ 👎
Very easy puzzles. If you are good at puzzles you will cruise through this game. I only got stuck for a few minutes twice. The stories were depressing but predictable which takes away from the experience. Still it is a unique game and i liked the graphics. If they make a second one i might play it but not for $3.99. This game should be no more than 99¢.
Uninteresting
I liked the artwork. This is the best I can say about the game. After reading all those good reviews I was expecting something that didn’t involve simplistic, childish stories with no depth or character development to them. And those stories are totally orthogonal to the puzzles, which are uninteresting and, except one, not at all challenging.
Fixed lots of them
