Oct. 2025
I first heard about Umurangi Generation from ErrantSignal on Youtube, and the premise of a photography game was interesting enough that I decided to buy it and try it. Gameplay wise, it's fine - the levels are small, but dense and varied and have a lot of detail for us to scour through. The bounties are fun, and while some of them are a bit arcane/obscure, it never goes into frustrating territory. The side-objectives are constant throughout all levels, but they are usually entertaining, although hunting for films is a bit of a chore in the darker levels. But again, never too frustrating. And I loved the music, it really complemented the whole vibe the games was going for. What felt really weak was the movement, which was quite janky and unenjoyable, too slow and too sensitive at the same time. You'll frequently be sent flying into the air for no reason, or fall through the geometry or get stuck under objects, but you'll usually be back at the game in no time and without much consequence. And if the game stopped here, it would be a weak recommendation. Good premise, interesting levels, solid music, janky movement, charming overall. But there is a deeper layer to Umurangi Generation, which requires knowing a bit more about some external factors such as the dev's history, the development context, but also take a deeper look at the events portrayed in the game and all the environmental storytelling. While it's never made extremely obvious, Umurangi Generation is a game about the end of the world, and how your government and the world institutions are failing the last existing generation, and this is all meant to reflect the current state of affairs in the present world. Made in 2020, after the Australian bushfires painted the sky red for weeks on end (hence the Umurangi - Red Sky in the Te Reo language) and, of course, the Covid pandemic hit and was mis-managed across the planet. Umurangi Generation explores the point of view of a generation that was born into those crisis, never were responsible for creating them, but are the ones that will experience the worst effects of it, while the earlier generations (Boomers and Gen X) created the crises, destroyed the world, and will be gone by the time the worst effects are felt. This is all enhanced by in-game grafitti, corporate advertisement, posters, newspapers, and the constant UN peacekeeping force presente throughout the levels. To quote SuperBunnyhop - "it's the angriest videogame ever made". Once you know that, it becomes a bit easier to overlook the gameplay jank and focus on the storytelling and narrative design, and start to appreciate the game a bit more. It's a game that asks a lot from the player, and gets better the more you give to it. I recommend it regardless, but keep that in mind if you decide to buy it.

A photography game about the end of the world. It is unapologetically indie, funny, weird and sometimes a little on the nose. There is some minor jank, but it's more I'm the sense of "I am not supposed to get here" instead of "this is so buggy", which is one of my favorite experiences in games. I personally love it when games are overtly political, especially from a unique perspective such as a maori one here. For me it was a smash hit, but it's definitely more niche

As someone from Aotearoa New Zealand, it was fantastic to see a game by a New Zealander, is set in New Zealand, and foregrounds New Zealand and specifically Māori culture, and even better to see it get such positive reception internationally. I can't think of any other game that feels so situated in Aotearoa. However, even if you aren't from here -- we are a small and humble country after all -- I would still absolutely recommend Umurangi Generation. Its central themes of climate apocalypse, class struggle, and neo-imperialism are, tragically, only getting more relevant by the day. Further, the central photography mechanic is a really innovative way of story-telling in games, which if, like me, you're used to games' heavy handed exposition you'll certainly find refreshing. The game does have problems: movement is clunky, the tutorial doesn't explain enough, and there are plenty of unusual bugs and loopholes. However, the game's unpolished feel only adds to the punk aesthetic, and in my view only subtracts a little from the overall experience. If any of what I've described sounds like it might be up your alley, I would definitely suggest you give Umurangi Generation a try!

this game manages to do the hideo kojima thing, where logical inconsistencies, weirdly implemented, half-baked but innovative game mechanics, and semi-coherent, preachy philosophies end up transcending the experience and becoming the object of love instead of derision, like a shot to the arm of purely, obviously inspired passion. it creates rabbit holes of feelings that reflect backwards onto you, like having a conversation with someone who spills their entire being onto you at a 7/11 before never meeting them again. everyone should play this game.
