The gameplay is described as simple yet enjoyable, with a gradual introduction of new rules and upgrades that enhance the experience. However, many users note that the game is quite short, making it less recommendable unless players are specifically seeking a Pokémon Snap-style experience focused on character exploration. Overall, the concept, art style, and music are praised, but there is a desire for more content to extend the gameplay.
- “You start out with the basics, and as the week goes on, it adds new rules and upgrades that enhance and complicate the gameplay (in a good way) such as adding more people to get in your way, adding more memory and other upgrades to the camera, and setting up new rules that can increase your social media presence!”
- “Great concept and art style, simple gameplay, cute and cool characters, and the music is so awesome!”
- “Not something I'd recommend unless you're really craving more Pokémon Snap style gameplay and love stories where it's just learning about the characters.”
