I ended up playing and I’ve got to say this was surprisingly really sad and nostalgic and beautiful. The voice lines are perfect: the expression is really genuine and we connect immediately with the character taking the photos.
It is a simple mechanic, and that’s just enough, although I would improve it by having some like of ‘achievement’ at the end saying “You captured 5 of 10 memories”. And also have an end (I don’t know if it has it, but I didn’t find it).
Ok actually I saw the screenshot of the list of pictures to take and was able to get to the end.
I did like the game though, it felt like saying goodbye to things he’s losing. Up until the ending phrase, I first though he was saying goodbye to someone, and took the liberty to interpret it was a goodbye to forest, which would be dizimated by capitalism; and later I was sure it was a goodbye someone had died and he was like recollecting these memories and sadly cherishing the time he spent with them.
I touched me.
PS: On a future update please maybe fix the trembling of the camera and the equalization between voice and music (maybe also add captions). Great game, thank you for hopping in the stream and recommending me it.
