The simple black and white world of Toem - a blend of Earthbound and Peppa Pig - presents like an all-age picture book filled with quirks and details that need only to be captured with the photo mechanic. It's a game that encourages the player simply to take it in at the most leisurely pace imaginable - no one is in danger, no one is going to die, nothing. That said, the moments where you find only so many pieces of a photo challenge only to find out there are more in later levels becomes amplified annoyance. But the connectedness and clean presentation brings out the completionist in most players.
Bottom line, its another cutsie zero-risk indie title to relax to and shut out the horrors of our reality.
