Photographs - Puzzle Stories

Although I’m much more a fan of match-3 battling RPG’s like #ymbab rather than somewhat level repetitive hit n miss/trial and error puzzling type games...this one is just nothing less than spectacularly good! Occasionally new levels/stories would be appreciated though.

I wish I had read the reviews that these stories are so depressing and macabre! I regret buying these. It looked so whimsical but it’s sooo depressing and the other puzzles aren’t interesting or fun.

I really like this developers previous apps so I gave this one a try. The story, sound effects and originality are all great. I think this was a successful attempt to go outside their comfort zone and try something different. That being said, the puzzles were too frustrating. Some made sense and were more or less simple. But others required too much time to figure out the weird puzzle mechanics being introduced. I could have handled it better if I could willingly skip puzzles whenever I wanted but instead the app forces you to try some arbitrary number of times. I spent too long purposefully trying to fail the puzzle so that I could skip and see the story. Eventually I just stopped playing cause it was frustrating.

This game is truly a masterpiece for mobile gaming. The stories draw you in, getting you emotionally involved, while the puzzles challenge you and help to unfold the story line. I had to look up one puzzle to help me solve it, it can be difficult at times. But it’s an offline game so is great to take on a long plane ride, and the commentary feature is incredible. Coming from a game development background, it’s so cool to hear how the developer chose to do certain things to advance the story or craft puzzles. Highly recommend playing the second time around with commentary on. Great work all around, 5 stars. Warning: can be dark at times.

The puzzles are good but the story telling is what makes this a great game. No complaints.

Very easy puzzles. If you are good at puzzles you will cruise through this game. I only got stuck for a few minutes twice. The stories were depressing but predictable which takes away from the experience. Still it is a unique game and i liked the graphics. If they make a second one i might play it but not for $3.99. This game should be no more than 99¢.

I liked the artwork. This is the best I can say about the game. After reading all those good reviews I was expecting something that didn’t involve simplistic, childish stories with no depth or character development to them. And those stories are totally orthogonal to the puzzles, which are uninteresting and, except one, not at all challenging.

Ok so I read the reviews about the stories being depressing and thought well what do those people know?!? And the stories are beyond depressing...they’re macabre with blood and awful outcomes. Would have loved to play and would be 5 stars if the stories weren’t so dark. Loved the concept and pixel photos but believe the creator could have provided a better experience with stories that were not so dark. Ultimately not a winner and not worth the money.

The 5 vignettes tell deep stories for the very simple mechanics (mini)game mechanics. A game about second chances with redeemable characters.

I absolutely loved this game. Very original and unique, great graphics and stories. It’s the kind of game you don’t want to put down. But unfortunately, I had to stop playing when I got to the last story. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t get past the odd puzzles. Kind of like a match 3 game combined with Rock Paper Scissors, and as much as I like puzzle games, this part made no sense to me. If there had been any sort of hint or help functionality, I would have given 5 stars for sure.
