The concept and atmosphere are very nice and chill, I can definitely see this appealing to a lot of people. It reminded me of games like Alba: Wildlife Adventure or Heartopia which have lots of camera minigames/features.

The low-stakes aspect of the gameplay was nice, but it did feel a little aimless. It could be cool to have a mini objective to take a picture of X or Y in a level. 

The biggest feature I was wanting was to have a first person view with zoom, so I could frame up some nice shots in the environment that weren't centred around the character. I think this would add a lot more variety to the game, and allow more objective based things. 

The controls also felt a little unintuitive on PC, but would work well for mobile.

Please give my game a go if you get the chance :) 

Thank you for playing my game and giving me the feedback.

I have bought Alba but forgot about it. Will definitely try it out.

Each spawn point in my game does have an objective: to take pictures that look or give a feeling as close to the particular sketch as possible--the sketch that the player has just selected before going into the wardrobe portal. The closer the photo to that sketch, the higher the score. Every spawn point is right at where you could find what's in the sketch you have selected. Once you get at least a score, then grandma will give you a spyglass that can see "things," and then encounter a new NPC, which will be a key character in the storyline that I am going to implement. But the player does not have to follow all this and could just wander around, take whatever photos they want, and admire their photographs, if they so choose to.

Glad you mentioned the zoom and framing feature. I did experiment with adding zoom and pan sliders, but decided not to go forward as it  made the UI quite busy/confusing. But since you mentioned it, I will re-think the design of it.

I will check out your game later today. I didn't try it earlier because words "chess" and "roguelike" kinda of scared me a little, as I am not a chess or roguelike game person. :D
