Absolutely fantastic. I've shot with film cameras but never developed my own, so seeing the process first hand was pretty cool. The art is very vivid and stylized, I loved the feel of the music. A really strong aesthetic and an enticing world I want to see more of. I like the Cooking Mama sort of gameplay, going through the steps on screen, but sometimes the control directions were a little unclear, and I maybe some kind of fail state could add depth to the game, like if you developed a photo wrong and it came out blurry or too dark you could try to improve your technique.

Thanks for the feedback; we’re really glad you enjoyed our game!
The suggestion to introduce a risk of failure is interesting. In an early concept for the game, we had planned for everything to be time-based, but we later abandoned that idea.
You’re right about the hints—I didn't have enough time to make them clearer.
