 Photopia is an example of the moving literature IF can be, December 6, 2010Photopia is an example of the moving literature IF can strive toward. It is a remarkable game, moving story, and well thought out. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Interesting story, not necessarily a great game, September 7, 2010Photopia is really more of a story than a game. It's interesting and it's compelling, but if you're looking for traditional IF gameplay, this might not be your cup of tea. There are no puzzles and not even many choices to be made. But when it all comes together, it works like a well-written short story. And you're gonna have an emotional reaction that you might not have expected. Was this review helpful to you?

Masterful, January 18, 2014by scottmbruner (alameda, california) Putting aside technical criticisms, Photopia clearly succeeds in its artistic ambitions - to create an immersive, emotional resonant experience by using IF elements to build intimacy with a touching, devastating tale. Revelatory. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Poor little game, November 15, 2020by Jade68 I've played this game and I expected more of it. Its an totally directed game, you can read coloured text and nothing more. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Beautiful, December 6, 2011by blu_gtar87 In a word, this story is simply beautiful. Definitely a tear-jerker. Definitely heart-warming. I call this a story because while there is a puzzle element to it, it is not difficult. One action or just a few actions can quickly lead to the story's progression. This is a good beginner's game, but also one that will leave a lasting imprint on the mind. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Excellent story-driven piece, November 9, 2007I really liked this one. The juxtaposition of the two storylines, the non-linear time progression, the use of different voices — all excellent. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Lovely, January 10, 2011by katz (Altadena, California) The linear nature might turn off some players, but that also makes it a more truly story-like experience. Easily flowing narration (marred by the constant word definitions, which get tedious after a while) carry the whole thing along in a dreamlike manner. Was this review helpful to you?

Overwhelming, October 19, 2007by isd (Tokyo) How could a game be exhausting when the puzzles are solvable? Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
