TOEM - Out on Switch, PS5 and PC September 17th!
I am thoroughly onboard with games that borrow the aesthetics of Nintendo but which are bent in some new interactive direction. Toem has wrbl-wrbl voices, and wobbly onscreen text, and pipes you jump into, and tunnelling screen transitions, and a happy cast of oddballs to help. It looks light and charming and fun - and then, the photography adds its own flavour to things.
It also sounds like it’s a todo-list game of the sort I was writing aboutlast week. A game where everyone wants a favour - normally a photo of something - and you either know immediately where to go to take that photo, or you file it away as a thing to look out for on your travels. In either case, it’s relaxed and moreish and I bet I’ll be up late doing just-one-more-favour for a balloon.
The demo Lauren played isstill available now via Steam, and the game will launch there on September 17th as well as onthe Epic Games Store.
