March 2025
Numerous other reviews have already mentioned qualities like graphics, audio, music, the writing, or how cute TOEM is in general, so instead I'd like to highlight how well designed it is. Levels are easy to navigate, yet interesting. Environments feel fresh, because the setting consistently changes before an area overstays it's welcome. The quests are simple, but the reward is always worth the effort. Core gameplay is limited in scope, though remains engaging throughout the game's runtime. This game ticks all the boxes, and is a masterclass on how to properly realise a vision on a limited budget. TOEM is an excellent game, and well worth your time.

You know it's a good game when the in-game "You should REALLY think about taking a break soon. Please?" messages pop up a half-dozen times while playing...and you just keep on going. I just finished the game with 83% completion at just 3 hours, and I can't wait to go back and play even more!

TOEM Toem is a little cozy adventure in which you solve simple puzzles, help npcs in need and take pictures of creatures while trying to reach the top of a mountain to observe what this journey was really about. Story The story of Toem is quite simple: The player slips into the role of a young photographer whose grandmother tells them about her story how she witnessed the β€œToem” phenomenon many years ago. Now your task is to see the wonderful phenomenon yourself and you get send on a journey full of cozy adventures and photography. Personal Note I didn’t expect much of Toem itself but I knew that it was a cozy game and I really was in the mood for such a game and saw that it was on a steep discount during the last Winter Sale and I ended up buying it. I’m a fan of virtual photography myself so the theme of taking pictures of creatures and solving simple puzzles while exploring a black and white environment really intrigued me and the game hooked me instantly. I completed one region a day and it took me about 5 hours to fully complete the game – yes, it’s short but lovely. The music, the charm and the slightly silly dialogues and absurd situations you find yourself in while you play through Toem made my day and I really enjoyed every minute of it. But I have to say that if I wasn’t in the mood for a relaxing and short game, I might have not enjoyed it as much. As I’ve mentioned earlier, it took me about 5 hours to fully complete the game and that was fine with me but I can see how some people might not be a big fan of that especially since the game itself is very simple but full of charm and I can tell that the developers put a lot of love into it. Rating Pros [*] Nice story and cozy vibes [*] Neat graphics and aesthetics [*] Good soundtrack [*] Simple but interesting puzzles [*] Wonderful & beautiful different regions [*] Fairly easy to 100% Cons [*] Some quests are a bit tedious [*] Pretty short Conclusion Is Toem worth to get? Well, it depends on what you expect from the game itself. Should you purchase it if you expect the most thrilling story and the best graphics? Probably not. Should you buy it if you want a cozy adventure with a handful of little puzzles while walking through beautiful locations? Then this game might be for you – especially when you get it during a sale! 7.8 / 10 β€œ I’m proud of you. ” - Grandma If you found this review helpful, feel free to visit my [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38665896/]curator page.

TOEM is suitable for all audiences. Everything from its friendly nature, to the ease of control, to the cute characters and catchy tunes, TOEM hits the mark in many ways. Though I wish it were longer, a part of me thinks the short length adds to the simplicity and relaxation aspect of the experience. It was just so inviting, especially during days where you want to do something easy and not necessarily feel too challenged, making me wish there was more content and areas to explore. TOEM 2, perhaps?

I want 100 more games like Toem. It's so wonderful in its presentation and charming in its execution that I wholeheartedly fell in love with it. People should support games like this, which showcase everything amazing about human creativity. I hope the developers will make another game with a similar theme and art style, because we have too many fully 3D games and not enough with the 2.5D style we see here. Rating: 10/10
