TOEM
I was very charmed by the demo of this game on one of Steam’s special events, so I purchased it at launch. I was not disappointed with the final product. The game is equal parts charming and relaxing with an adorable, hand drawn art style and calm, lovable music.
This is a point and click adventure game. It controls exclusively with the mouse (though developers claim they’re working on adding keyboard support as well). The gist, like in most of these games, is to travel to different places, meet lots of people and solve puzzles for their benefit in order to reach a personal goal. There’s no combat here, of course. Your only tool is a camera, which you can use to take pictures, zoom in to see things far away and even interact with certain characters and objects in more than one way.

There’s so much I want to say about this lovely game, so I’ll break it into sections.
Gameplay: The main mechanic of the game is taking photos. But don’t be fooled by this seemingly simple premise, there is so much to do! In each area of TOEM, I had tons of things that I could complete, or I could just sit back and take in my surroundings. You will need to fulfill a certain number of requests to move onto the next area, but after that it’s up to you how you want to spend your time. I’m already 5 hours in but I’m not even halfway through the game yet! Pro tip: wearing the clogs helps you play at a more relaxed pace.
