In the game, the player uses a Polaroid-style camera to take photos of their surroundings.
They can then hold these photos up and make their contents appear in real life, transforming the world’s perspective in the process.
“Solve open-ended puzzles that encourage thinking outside the box as you gradually master your abilities,” reads an official description of the game. “Get creative, exploring the possibilities of the mechanic and warping your environments into surreal Escheresque dreamscapes.
