Torn between worlds, this utter failure of a video game is held up by its premise and subsequent message. At its core, this is an adventure that makes the player a first-person spectator of humanity's downfall, both heartwarming and soul-crushing at the same time. This prescient atmosphere is the entire game, as all the frustrating, shoddy video game parts around it maul that carefully crafted immersion at every stage, time and again.

Man, I really wish they had worked on the actual video game of this; what a bittersweet heartbreak. Luckily, it's still worth gnashing teeth to get through its 3 hours of fumbling around. We'll see the end unfold one way or another anyway.

Perfect chill game. I play this when I’m stressed or I’ve got like 30 minutes and can’t think of a way to spend it. Calms me right down. One time, I booted this up after a shitty Christmas party and just got lost in it. It felt great. It’s now probably one of my favourite games.

While the highlight is the game’s creative mode, I’m surprised by how enjoyable the objective based design is, especially once you learn the quickest and most efficient ways to fulfil those goals, it’s really satisfying to 100%. Additionally, I’m a big fan of how the photography changes the way you interact with subject matter like this in a game. It’s really smart.

I want more semi-legit photography games, please.

I usually laugh at the ppl who listen to video game OSTs. This is an expection though. Not only is the game just so fucking fun, with awesome levels with tons of photo oportunities, the soundtrack from ThorHighHeels (yeah, that ThorHighHeels) is just so fucking fantastic. This deserves the title of the Photography game. That's right, fuck you Afrika for PS3.

definitely get the sense this is a game for PC. not to say it's bad on console, but it's not great either.
has one of the most interesting approaches to worldbuilding i've ever encountered. cyberpunk stylings and visuals are on point, and kinda make up for the jank and wonky physics you have to work around.

Incredible game breathing with atmosphere and passion, no wonder considering the whole reason this game was made.
Outspokenly political and outspokenly evangelion inspired. And both of those work so well.
The way this game easily breaks and you glitch through the walls and through the floor is kind of charming and can be useful considering the goal of sick photography but also annoying, which alongside how painful it can be to find that one last bounty are the only things I would criticize about this game.

Otro de estos juegos que te pasan por encima, con un mensaje más de rojo que su portada. Anticapitalista, anti fascista, soltando hostias politicas en cada rincon posible y haciendote participe a ti de buscarlas, al ser un juego de fotografia
