Ooh, this feels like the biggest news out of this evening’sWholesome Snackshowcase: nourishing photography adventureToemis getting a sequel, appropriately called Toem 2. It looks to follow much of what made the first so well liked, including its pocket-sized black-and-white worlds in which you wander about, snapping photos and helping the locals.

All I can tell you is that Alice B liked the original game a great deal for its straightforward pleasures. “It’s just fun, isn’t it? It’s not groundbreaking, Toem, but it’s somehow nostalgic and modern at the same time, a silly world that you can just enjoy, guilt-free,” she wrote in herToem review. “No overwrought commentary on modern society. No hidden meaning. Occasionally some hidden socks, or ghosts you can only see when you’re wearing magic sunglasses, yes. Mostly having fun and taking pictures. I was here, I played Toem. It was good.”

That’s good enough for me. I like a spot of in-game photography and cute worlds where I can do favours for people, a laA Short Hike. I really should get round to playing Toem.
