Step back into the shoes of a curious photographer and set off on a brand new adventure all about uncovering hidden details, helping friends along the way, and documenting the world’s little wonders in TOEM 2, the sequel to the acclaimed TOEM.
Like the original game, TOEM 2 is at its best when you stop worrying about the destination and enjoy the journey - charming, relaxing and packed with little moments that make exploring truly worthwhile.
A good sequel to a great game, it's barely different from its predecessor, and in some ways even inferior. But it's still a joy to play.
TOEM 2 builds on the original’s charming photography-based gameplay with new environments, creative puzzles, and plenty of quirky characters to discover. Its relaxing pace, delightful black-and-white art style, and rewarding exploration make it an inviting adventure. While some objectives can feel repetitive, the game’s warmth and clever use of photography...

However, overly simple quests, a lack of challenge, and the limited use of its new mechanics prevent it from becoming more than a familiar adventure.
