The graph and mechanism is actually quite interesting, though I think the sensitivity is a little bit wierd.

Interesting world to explore but some difficulties with camera and knowing if I managed to take right shots. This could be really interesting world with own quirks to explore if some of those usability issues could be enhanced!
The art style is interesting, though the colors inside the building were a bit hard on the eyes. I also wanted to ask: is the game actually beatable? I couldn't manage to win. Also, it’s a bit odd that taking pictures with the camera generates photo files—I imagine that if there are too many of them, it might put a heavy load on the game.
@art143256 Yes, the game is beatable. You have 5 tasks of npc+object to take photos of, and the task is only done when you get them both in one shot. You win when all 5 tasks are done. Taking pictures only generates a photo file if you've turned it on - there's a setting in the main menu called "Save Photos". It is "Off" by default. Sorry for the colors though, we didn't have time to tinker with the lightning. If it brings you any joy, here's how it looked in blender, without the sky:Zrzut ekranu 2026-10-20 153328.pngZrzut ekranu 2026-10-20 153256.png
I love camera games (Toem, Cat Me if you Can, etc) so I was excited to try this! The mouse sensitivity was too high for me so trying to play it made me really dizzy, though. That's okay, it seems cool and I bet it's fun to play! Sorry I can't give it more of a go!
Game's really buggy, and this is sad, as it has a lot of potential.
@ralex-x @kristinamay , for everyone with sensitivity problems, I just pushed out a new build with a mouse sensitivity slider, if you'd be willing to try it again.
@mikoolec you might want to revert the change, I think maybe you adjusted the sensitivity but didn't sync the camera up properly, because now my mouse just goes off the screen and I stop being able to look in a particular direction. not complaining, to be clear, just don't want my little sensitivity issue messing up the game for everyone else!
@kristinamay That's very weird, I didn't even change anything regarding the mouse, just multiplied its movement by the sensitivity. Are you playing the itch build? The mouse unfocuses if you press esc, and has the behaviour you described, that's a normal itch feature. If it happens, you can focus the window again by just clicking it.
@mikoolec lol you're right, I'm not sure what happened last time but I just tried it again and got to play! I like it, it reminds me of like... Penko Park or Pokemon Snap. I was laying in wait for certain scenarios, like the lil eyeball guy walking past the hallway that aims down to the tower. I got really lucky with my prompts and speed-ran the heck out of it! I'll try a couple more times, but thanks for making adjustments. This game has a lot of potential! Screenshot 2026-10-20 144252.png
The game is buggy but it's a nice idea, good luck in polishing it!
quite buggy :(
The sensitivity is great on my end, and I enjoy a good photography game! Love the surreal world. Great work!
You know, I had a similar idea early on but I couldn't figure out a way to make a game out of it. I think what you made is a really cool concept. I like the weird little critters floating around and the general odd-ness of the world. The music cut out for me after a minute or two, but I'm not sure if that was a bug or the song just ended. My only real issue was that it was kind of hard to make out what the icons in the top left actually were. Still, I had fun with it. Good work!
Ah my eyes! No, just kidding, I actually quite liked the wild colours, but perhaps the pink is a bit much. I think it's more interesting than your blender pictures. Had fun playing and figuring it out, nice mechanic. I was disappointed when I saw NPCs go through the walls because I though that might be a secret route 😆 Shame the music doesn't loop, a good job there too. Thanks for making!
I like the concept! Unfortunately, I had to stop playing because I felt nauseous and got a headache, but I’m glad I gave it a try
Love the idea, exploring was fun even though it's a bit hard to find your way in the building with all the walls having the same pattern and the room and corridors looking very alike.
I think the NPCs are sometimes taking too much time to get back to the place where you need to take a picture of them.
Also it would have been nice to find a way to tell the player directly in the game they need to take the picture of the caracters in the places because it's really not clear if you don't read the description.
Overall fun little game, the atmosphere and the world created is nice and it feels good to explore. Good job!
This game reminds me a lot of Bernband: you explore a weird alien world with its own architecture and inhabitants, and it's an experience in itself. I think there could be easier photos to take, cause matching a creature with its architectural bit can be tricky or take too much time. With simpler photos you get a nice onboarding that make players want to stick a bit more with your game. I had a good time exploring the world created, congrats on that!
