Toem: Video Game Overview
Games about the photo chute are not so much, but almost all of them are successful. Not so long ago, New Pokemon Snap was released, where she managed to look at Pokemon in a natural habitat, before that, the game-meme Bugsnax and the Milestick Alba: A Wildlife Adventure. Now TOEM added to this list, one of the most cozy and good adventures this year.
Good luck
The main character (or the heroine is not specified, but for convenience I will call it a hero) goes on a trip, taking a vintage chamber with a zoom lens with you. Gathering protagonist on the road Grandma says that a magical phenomenon can be captured high in the mountains – the same. To get there, to drive past a few cities and make a stop in each. There is no money from the hero, but you can get free travel – it is necessary to just help residents with their problems and collect press on the community map.
Tablets with city names are also translated.
Already in the first location the structure becomes clear TOEM – Moving from one area to another, communicate with everyone in a row and get tasks. Quests give out those characters over which there is a sign of the stars, but the rest of the creatures can say something or give something valuable – it is advisable to communicate with every1.
Smileys in dialogues always look very cute.
Most orders are somehow related to photo. In each region, for example, there are representatives of the guild of photographers enthusiasts – they are asked to bring them the shown pictures. In one of the towns, we will become an experienced journalist – putting the appropriate hat, we can penetrate into hard-to-reach locations and capture some moments. A group of hooligans will not consider the hero for his until he finds their graffiti and will not bring photos with them.
Album in memory
Over time, the character improves the camera – with the help of the beep he scares birds (and the characters react fun at sharp sounds), the tripod allows him to take pictures at a distance. Tasks are becoming more and more diverse: we are looking for a lost son from a very strange family, we help the seller of hot dogs to attract customers, then we indicate the caretaker for the cracked ships. Even ghosts, who either be bored by cities or suffer from lack of attention. Almost everything is done using the camera. All here are more fifty tasks, and they do not seem to be monotonous.
On each stool and bench can be sitting, if you want to play the role of the tired traveler.
Cards B TOEM No, as well as the need for it – although at first it seems that the areas in one location are too many, very quickly remember how to get to one or another. The case is not limited to the tasks: in secret roughcots you find gift boxes with cosmetic objects, plus everywhere meets every living creature – in the album pictures with it are entered into a separate category. Cats, dogs, insects, birds – if a photo of some fauna is already there, a check mark will appear next to it when viewed through the lens, so the process of filling the album to complicate did not become.
How not to take a picture?
The only problem of the game is that some orders are too blurry. Everything works great when tasks are less and understandable or one follows from the other – got a reward for one quest and use it to perform the other. But sometimes TOEM Do not even try to help, offering guess yourself that you are required. Already in the first location you are asked to take a picture of the “Army of Tiny Soldiers” – I had to run for a long time and see what we are talking about. Then the guild wants a picture of the “air animal” – it’s not about the owl, I tried. And what is the “great moment”, I never guessed.
Let’s help then – first better capture the moment!
Fortunately, to achieve the ending, everything is not necessary – it is enough to complete only half of the tasks, and it is very easy. Then the character will get to the very tie – the ending turned out very beautiful and logical for this kind of game. After the final, you can return to your home and visit all locations again to fulfill the remaining orders and collect all the “achives”. If the main story takes a little more than two hours, then it will take about five for a complete passage – it depends on how often you will be stuck due to lack of tips.
TOEM does not try to raise non-standard topics as it did, for example, Chicory: a Colorful Tale. This is a very simple story about the first biggest journey of the main character and about his meetings with the most distinctive beings: Choknut, tired of work or enjoying life. “Create good on the whole earth,” like a classic sang, and at the end you are waiting for a beautiful gift, for which it really was worth it to do.
Pros: Pleasant atmosphere and charming characters;Cute visual style;Many diverse riddles;bonus entertainment like the search for hidden collectible items and filling album with liveliness;Beautiful final.
Minuses: Some tasks are too vague;Nothing significantly new compared to other photo oral simulators.
