Salvage Cam
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pick up a broken camera. Shoot what it has left. Every broken camera fails in its own way. Collect, diagnose, shoot. It cannot shoot what you see. Dead sensors, GPU failure, broken lenses, memory ghosts, shutter failure. 13 cameras, each with its own recipe of faults. ■ Draw, shoot, salvage. Draw a broken camera at random. Press the shutter and it fails on its own. Then see how much survives. The lower the recovery, the rarer the shot. COMMON → UNCOMMON → RARE → FATAL. ■ Same seed, same faults. Every shot carries a seed. The same seed always draws the same camera, the same faults, the same amount of damage. It breaks without a pattern, but it breaks the same way twice. The barcode in the corner is that seed's fingerprint. ■ Two interfaces. SIGNAL: glass, gradients and neon. Shooting feels like debugging a machine that is still alive. STUDIO: paper, ink and a red stamp. Like sorting negatives in a darkroom, where every photo is a ticket stub. ■ Free, subscription, buyout. The free tier draws 3 of 8 cameras. Shooting and recovery are unlimited. Paying unlocks all 13 cameras — 5 of them can never be drawn — and lets you pin a camera, set how broken it gets, and keep the original colour. A subscription also covers cameras added later. The one-time buyout covers the 13 cameras there are today; Camera Packs released later are sold separately. This app doesn't upload your photos. No account needed. Terms of Use https://salvagecam.rollitinno.com/terms.html Privacy Policy https://salvagecam.rollitinno.com/privacy.html
