Neat idea but the puzzles have bad conveyance. You get stuck on puzzles that make zero sense and if you can't get it they just skip it for you. Super frustrating. My recommendation is to add an indicator if a certain step is correct. Don't just let us skip. If you have to use a skip because people can't solve your puzzle then that should indicate that the puzzle is poorly designed.

This game is generally sad. Essentially you have 5 stories where you initially use a zoom to find a Hotspot in a picture and take a photo. Then you do a mini game. Each story uses a different type of mini game. One is puzzle pieces fitting, another is making a path, one is physics based and another is similar to match 3. The stories are all good, especially the ones based on historical events. Definitely worth playing.

Stories are dark and emotional. I got quite attached to every character in the stories. I sympathise with them and eager to know how it could end. I really love the writing. I like that the puzzles are metaphors that goes with the stories. Some things could be improved though. The gameplay can be a bit more challenging, like the puzzle difficulties, especially clues for photographs are too obvious. Edited

This game is great at telling a story through it's mechanics. That, along with the music and graphics is excellent. The stories themselves, however, are a liitle hit or miss in my opinion. They are really dark and I kept waiting for some kind of pay off at the end, but it never really came for me. SPOILER (kind of, don't read further if you haven't played it to the end) without saying too much I'll just say that it's also a shame that we only get one choice at the end.

I found this game very underwhelming and did not end up enjoying it. It has a lot of potential, but the different mechanics just don't come together properly, and it feels like 3 completely separate game plays mashed into one. The stories themselves also have very bizzare and unsatisfying twists. Overall it started feeling like a chore, going through the paces.
