Photographs is You Must Build a Boat studio’s pensive narrative puzzler

Indie studio EightyEight Games is best known for frenetic mobile games like 10,000,000 and You Must Build a Boat — but Photographs shows a softer, more introspective side. It’s a puzzler that eschews the action role-playing game aspects of the previous two to explore five different short stories. It’s slated for release in 2018 for PC, iOS, and Android.

While 10,000,000 is all about busting through dungeons and fighting enemies using a hybrid puzzle-action mechanic, Photographs is quite the change of pace. EightyEight founder Luca Redwood said that he wanted to explore something “dark and tragic,” something the story hammers home.
