toem

I am just going to spoil the ending of this game right here and now because it doesn't matter. The goal of this game is to experience 'Toem', which is an event mythical self floating prism emitting technicolor aurora lights in the surrounding air(which is more surreal than you think since everything else is pure B&W). That's what the game is named after.
You probably already saw the same effect dozens of times when you obtained some collectibles or finished the level on other games. It's uninteresting and lame. even the game is self aware of that in some capacity, one of the speech options you can choose about the phenomenon is 'meh'.

But the real treasure of the journey this game offers is... I will spare you from the cliche. TOEM's compact, seemingly lively world that's full of interactable NPCs and small details really puts you in the shoes of a sightseer, especially when you use your lens as a viewpoint and observe the world in first person rather than the default top-down view. This is a game that's meant to be played in slow manner, looking for everything the game has and capturing every moment with your virtual camera. The ingame camera has a memory capacity of 256 photos and when I first started this game and saw that number I expected to fill maybe the half of it. I ended up maxing out every slot.

And for the reason I wrote above, speedrunning this game would be an utterly soulless move. you're bound to be disappointed by its short length and lack of depth if you take that path. So if you're one of those people, just laid back for once, and enjoy what the game offers. You're unlikely to regret it.

originale, tenero, divertente, creativo e mai banale!
Lo ho finito, ma c'è ancora molto da completare, compresa una nuova parte di mondo!
totalmente innamorata, grazie
