Photographs (video game)

Photographs is a puzzle game by British developer Luca Redwood under EightyEightGames, released for iOS and Microsoft Windows devices in April 2019.

Each story iterates between two phases: first, focusing a virtual camera viewfinder on the object in the given scene that matches a text description, and then once located, performing a mini-game with rules that are unique to each story.

[1][2] Once the player has completed all five stories, the five characters that made hard decisions pleads to a mirror, which shows the player via the device's camera or webcam, each begging to be allowed to go back in time to change their decision.

Music for the game was composed by Ben Prunty, while Redwood outsourced the pixel-style art to Octavi Navarro who had previously worked on Thimbleweed Park.

[3][4] Redwood announced Photographs in December 2017,[4] and the game was formally released for iOS and Windows on April 3, 2019, with plans for a macOS, Linux, and Android version to soon follow.
