What's TOEM?
TOEM is a carefree adventure, a story captivating with its simplicity, and at the same time an extremely inventive and interesting game that emits tons of positive energy.
What's the phenomenon? The answer to this question, which is the culmination of the entire story, will be no less satisfying than the path we will follow in pursue of it. During this time, we will visit several locations, and meet communities willing to help in achieving the main character's goal, as well as commissioning tasks, largely based on taking photos. The gameplay is simple, but trust me, you don't need anything else to be happy.
What makes it worth it?
Don't be fooled by the monochrome graphics and the lack of visual bells and whistles – this game emanates sincere, juvenile carelessness and joy. The challenges here are simple puzzles, often solved with the help of a photo camera. We do not encounter obstacles that could frustrate you or evoke any negative feelings.
However, it's not the puzzles that are the driving force behind our actions. In addition to the desire to immortalize the said phenomenon, the mere willingness to help the characters we meet, the humor and kindness pouring out of the screen push us forward and make us feel good.
