What users say about Photographs - Puzzle Stories
From the 16 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Users praise the game's unique narrative structure and artistic style, often calling it a masterpiece of storytelling. However, significant complaints focus on the unexpectedly dark and depressing themes, as well as inconsistent puzzle difficulty ranging from too easy to frustratingly obscure.
Mixed but leaning positive (69% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for working reliably, and being easy to use. The main complaints are about not being fun. Recent reviews are more negative than earlier ones.
What people like
- Crashes & bugs: “Unfortunately, there is currently a bug that re-sets my progress to the beginning of The Preventer every time I close my app or change profiles”
- Ease of use: “Simple games with short, deep story”
- Features & content: “Occasionally new levels/stories would be appreciated though”
- Fun: “The stories draw you in, getting you emotionally involved, while the puzzles challenge you and help to unfold the story line”
Common complaints
- Fun: “The puzzles are different enough to keep you interested, but I wouldn’t call it a “fun” game”
About Photographs - Puzzle Stories
I tried to make it a little bit different from most games. It sort of mixes puzzle and narrative in a ( hopefully ) interesting way. You might get stuck on some puzzles, but you should never not know what you need to do to proceed.
So what do you actually do? Well, you search around and solve puzzles, and as you do so you'll be developing a scene in front of you and hearing a story. I want to the story to really stand out, so the game has got really beautiful pixel art and top notch music, combined with gameplay and narrative beats that individually would do a pretty good job of telling that story, but come together to really make something special.
It's a pretty short game too. I would say about three hours. There are loads of games these days and who has time to play them all? I've tried to keep things as condensed as possible rather than add filler, to be as respectful for your time as I can be.
Each story is in a different setting and has completely different gameplay mechanics. It ended up being a LOT of work, but It's kind of necessary: The gameplay itself has a hand in telling the story, so what works for one tale wouldn't work for another.
I don't think there's anything else like it out there, so if nothing else, It should give you a unique experience.
So yeah. That's my pitch, If that sounds interesting to you, give it a shot!
