Instants

Tope de guapo, no tengo todos los logros por un bug pero quitando genial

Instants is a cozy puzzle game based on topics of family, memories, and remembering those precious moments in life. This was a lovely game filled with calming, relaxing vibes as well heart-felt moments that remind you why family is important. Especially ones who deem closest to you. I enjoyed this game and the puzzles throughout. They were very simple and easy. Tutorial was very well explained as well. I say give this game a try, and enjoy the chill it provides to its players. To see more consider my first impressions. as always Enjoy and happy gaming! 🍃🌻 First Impressions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1bwniK0zao&list=PL7iVxnZxQDjI3kWUcqgx-zz8s9qw_fsVt&index=2

"Instants" is a warm, charming escape. A game that turns memories into art without the stress. Arrange photos, add stickers, and craft scrapbooks for your in-game family, all while soaking in the nostalgic atmosphere. The puzzles are simple, and the customization (like writing notes or resizing decorations) lets creativity flow freely. Unlock new items after each chapter to personalize your space, from snacks to background music. I lost myself for over an hour in just the first two chapters, savoring every detail. Perfect for scrapbook lovers or anyone craving a peaceful break. It’s a gentle reminder to slow down, so much so, it inspired me to make real tea mid-game. A delightful, heartwarming experience.

Great, cute game to relax with a nice art-style. Unfortunately there is no way to start a new game once you are finished. Which is a shame, since my steam achievements did not work during the first play-through and now there is no way I can get all of them. :( Maybe the devs could add a way to start from the tutorial and re-play. :)

Instants review 📷 Snaps and crafts 🔹 EXPECTATIONS: a decoration/scrapbooking game with a puzzle minigame. 🔹 REALITY: a small deduction game with decoration options. 🔶 Instants is a balanced mix of puzzle and decoration game with a wholesome story that glues everything, all in a family friendly and cosy setting. In each chapter, a friend or family member needs their photos of a cherished moment in their lives sorted. 🔸 Given the all-ages approach, the game doesn't seek to trick the player nor asks to come up with complex deductions, so the level of challenge is minimal for an adult. For the young ones, on the contrary, it might pose an engaging observation and timeline visualisation exercise. 🔸 That low difficulty level is also supported by some coloured arrows' assistance, that will indicate if the photos are in the correct order relative to each other (green), they are wrong (red) or there is something missing in between (orange). 🔸 Successfully sorting the photos will unlock the next story bit and grant the player two rewards: a generous set of stickers and washi tape to decorate the photo albums, and coins that can be spent to unlock cosmetics for the desk. 🔸 I came to the game to check the puzzle part and ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. The puzzle part was way too simple, but as an adult I felt reflected by some of the moments and stories that the photos depict. The decoration part also allows for a wide range of modifications. 🔸 The biggest conflict I found is the clash between quality of life and physicality (or tactility). Some user interactions could be more streamlined and made simpler (less clicks), but as they are, they feel as if one was touching, grabbing, or handling the actual objects, photos and stickers. 🔸 Instants' package is completed with some nice lofi music, distinctive art and great sound effects. The result is a game that I specially recommend to those who enjoy scrapbooking, decorating planners and journaling. POSITIVES: 🙂+ art, music and sfx 😄+ 😍+ NEGATIVES: 🙁- UX 😠- 😡- 🔷 Find more puzzle games here 👇 https://www.youtube.com/@Mael_Duin

Un petit jeu chill, cosy et agréable, j'ai beaucoup aimé ! Le concept de "Instants" est vraiment génial. C'est parfait pour se détendre, sans se prendre la tête ! On incarne Maya, une jeune femme qui reçoit différentes lettres de sa famille ou de ses amis et qui, au fil du jeu, va composer des albums photos qui retracent les moments inoubliables de sa vie et de celle de ses proches, d'une génération à l'autre. On découvre alors son histoire personnelle ainsi que celle de ses grands-parents, de ses parents, de ses oncles, et même de ses amis, narrée à travers toutes ses photographies, où se dégagent des instants de bonheur, d'amour et d'amitié, de partage et de complicité, ainsi que des événements mémorables et festifs, le tout empreint d'émotions et de nostalgie. Les différentes bandes sonores du jeu sont vraiment plaisantes, le graphisme général est très "Mignon/Kawaii" et la narration est assez touchante. Dans l'ensemble, on s'attache facilement à la famille de Maya et on prend plaisir à reconstituer leurs souvenirs dans un ordre chronologique au fil des générations. Les puzzles pour rétablir l'ordre chronologique des photos sont simples, sans une "vraie" difficulté, mais parfaitement adaptés au concept de ce jeu qui est avant tout conçu pour se relaxer. En ce qui concerne la personnalisation des albums, il y a pas mal d'options en général, même si personnellement, j'aurais aimé avoir plus de contenu, notamment pour les stickers, les autocollants ou les palettes de couleurs. De plus, le jeu a malheureusement tendance à devenir répétitif sur le long terme. C'est pourquoi je pense que, bien qu'elle soit très courte (entre deux et cinq/six heures selon votre rythme), sa durée reste correcte, il n'en fallait pas plus ! Malgré tout, "Instants" est un jeu casual et créatif très captivant, qui peut être joué avec de jeunes enfants et qui propose une histoire familiale émouvante et réconfortante. Je le recommanderais (bien que le prix soit un peu élevé pour ce genre de gameplay) si vous cherchez un moment de pure détente lors d'un après-midi ou d'une soirée, autour d'une tasse de thé et de gâteaux :) !
