This game is short and extremely sweet. I loved every moment of it. From the second you leave the tutorial area, you are dropped into a mysterious world of which you slowly get more and more engrossed in. The soundtrack is so soothing and relaxing, seeing the messages left by others was such a cool thing, and looking at the pictures taken by others and then finding where they took them in the game was very fun. My only problem with the game was the sound when you jump and land, as the landing sounds plays whenever you fall off the smallest thing or go up and down steps, but it's pretty easy to see around that. This game makes you like photography for a good 10 or 20 minutes whether you like photography in real life or not. Yes it is short, but hey, it's free, relaxing, and somehow makes you emotional at the end. Watching that time tick down waiting for 8PM to hit, and then having to pick which picture to save knowing the rest are lost in time. In the end, I would recommend this to anyone to really anyone who needs some relaxation.
An interesting idea, but I wish it was a bit more fleshed out. At the moment, there isn't much to do except walk around the same old buildings, every now and then spotting a flame accompanied by some dialogue. For a game centred around photography, the graphics are just... basic. Aside from some shadows and a dynamic day/night cycle, there really seem to be no shaders, reflectors, even some kind of fog or something to hide the low draw distance. If the game wasn't free, this review would probably be negative. I hope the developers continue to work on it, because I think it could eventually become something truly beautiful.

It (mostly) succeeds at what it sets out to do, and it's free and short, so why wouldn't I reccomend this? It does have a few problems that prevent it from being really great - firstly, the graphics. Now this is a stupid criticism in pretty much every other game, but when a game is based around taking photos, the game needs to be either beautiful or have a good art style. Sadly, everything here is just low-res textures plucked from the internet with some utterly putrid lighting. I get the "post-apocalypse" look the game is going for, but it just doesn't work here. The textures just look muddy and the lighting unpleasant. I only found one photo that I made that I liked, and that was only because there was so high contrast that the textures were basically obliterated. Second, the controls - they are just not the best. they feel a bit laggy, and I don't understand why the running is on a stamina meter considering the type of game this is. Besides that it's a good game as a free experiment to take photos of.
Wonderful. Worth the 20 minutes
This isnt a game, this is a experience, and with so little they were able to create something truly unique, i cannot recommendo this game experience enough

I like the online death stranding concept where you can find other player messages, but I feel like a lot more could have been done with it. All locations are barren and don't have much detail so pictures always look similar. I personally wouldn't really recommend this to anyone, its just empty and boring.
This is a cool concept. It's early days, so a lot of room for improvement. I enjoy the idea of using photography to get the mood of a place. The world feels empty, but when you look at the photos others have left, it feels a little haunted. I will watch to see how this game progresses.
Honestly so cool. The game brings such a calming vibe to what looks like a destroyed city.
This game is super simple and easy to get into for a nice relaxing half an hour or more of your day. I found myself enthralled and a slight giddy anxiety as the timer ticked down to the end. Exploring in that time to find the perfect picture is tough and it makes me wonder what others thought and did as they to faced the clock. Overall, a lovely experience I'm happy I was able to take a part in.
