Great entry! There are a lot of content within like levels and images.

Faced some bugs: there was typo in word "hated" (maybe it was intentionally idk), I have some grey line which covers part of the top line of the inventory.

Story is huge but I couldn't understand it totally.

The amount of photo images is so big that at some point I couldn't understand did I open it or not.

Also I didn't understand what the "Soul" meter is about and what it does.

Didn't manage to complete all game. There power switch, after clicking on it I see another dialogue-image about pouring my blood on it and use the shutter. I tried to do that with no success. Also I didn't get how to use camera. It removes some blocks but doesn't open any new entrances or so.

Music is good and sounds are good. I was surprised about the map movement mechanic. It's really cool for jam game and added additional gameplay elements and feeling to the game. Really cool

The photographs are amazing, and even if I didn't understand everything in the story, it was still compelling, and I really wanted to reach the end!

Impressive entry for a single person!

The backstory is very interesting, although i do not think i followed it that well. I gathered that some kind of “darkness” spread over the world and Salomon created a way to “preserve” people inside a world of photography by using vampire’s blood.  Is that it?

As i said, i found it a bit confusing, but i can’t tell you why. Maybe the non-linearity of the dialogs?

The graphics are very beautiful, and even more considering that it seems that you did this all in a weekend—based on the fact that you submitted it to Mini Jam 118 as well.

My biggest gripe is the map movement, that is too sudden—it is like it’s teleporting—and that there are no instructions that you have to use the camera in specific places. I was lost for a long time trying to find all body parts, and then, when it told me that he could fly, did not know where i could use that new ability.  But, finally, i managed to complete it.
