Heavy on trial and error gameplay and it's essentially nothing more than a collection of gags (with a heartwarming story behind it) but it's a unique concept that feels like one of the most distinct TG-16 games I've played
Game Review - originally written by Sliver X
This game is definitely one of those japanese TG16 games that were deemed “too weird” for the american gaming audience. You control this deformed little guy who’s about to drop out of photography school due to his parents’ deaths, but is offered a test to graduate by the dean. You walk around taking pictures to gain points and more film. The stranger and more screwed up the image you take is, the more points you get. Some of the things you’ll see are pretty sadistic and evil, but that’s what makes this game so damn fun to play.

Putting aside the fact that it's chock-full of offensive caricatures, it's a pretty cool, score-based, scrolling "photography shooter" with elements of resource management and some platforming, along with a neat "newspaper strip" art style.
E se você quisesse ser um fotógrafo...
... mas seus pais morrem?

I would love this game if it wasn't loaded with offensive trash
