### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-29, version 1.0.3*

this game has such an amazing story, it’s so cute and i love how the tasks lead to unlocking other tasks it’s just so well put together

### 5/5 — Beauty of the art

*2026-07-31, version 1.0.3*

Hello, the way they draw the objects in the game, the artstyle is beautiful

### 5/5 — Lovely but didn’t get to finish

*2026-07-17, version 1.0.3*

When I was on my way back to the town after I collected the last painting it automatically ended my game at %85. No, it’s not a big deal but I wanted to hear the story behind them… I wanted %100😭
I understand that this is “just a game” but I don’t get to play very often so I poured my heart and soul into this beautifully developed game only to be ~devastated~

Play the game, it’s so fun, just make sure to complete everything else before collecting the 6th artifact painting. 

Truth is i probably will go back and try to get my 100-

### 5/5 — MUITO BEM FEITO ⭐️

*2026-07-14*

melhor jogo que já joguei, queria maisssss 🥺

### 1/5 — 0/0

*2026-06-27*

O jogo simplesmente nn abre, só fica em tela preta e mais nada

### 5/5 — Super cute and fun

*2026-06-13, version 1.0.3*

Played this on pc years ago. When I saw it was on mobile I rushed to download it. The game is super fun and the controls are dry smooth.

### 5/5 — Very cute game

*2026-06-09, version 1.0.3*

I don't normally write reviews or purchase games but I did it both for Toem! Very cute game that deserves appreciation.

### 5/5 — 楽しい！！

*2026-06-05*

楽しいし、癒される！やり込み要素まんてん！

### 4/5 — Bom

*2026-05-31*

Eu amei o jogo, sempre procurei um jogo com fotografia e em preto e branco, porque eu sou fotografa e minhas cores favoritas são preto e branco, a única coisa que me deixou triste foi o pagar, que não pude, ainda espero ele ficar gratuito.

### 5/5 — Complains are too Minor!

*2026-05-31, version 1.0.3*

This game oozes charm and the few problems I have don’t sound like much all in all. I wished gyro worked while I had a Backbone controller connected. I didn’t like the day/night mechanic of the free DLC as it made a cozy game a bit too close too tedious. 

WITH THE SAID … I would like to see an open-ish world version of this game. When I completed Zelda: Breath of the Wild I started playing the game like Pokémon Snap by filing out the compendium. I would like Toem to take their unique identity and take the Open World Pokémon Snap genre somewhere so it doesn’t belong exclusively to Nintendo and Fatal Frame. 

At this point I’m not complaining anymore and wishing for more of this game. It was hard to put down and would be something I would think about when not playing.
