About
An ancient tower in a forgotten land. A lone photographer on a desperate search. A once-in-a-lifetime chance. Camera Obscura is a puzzle-platformer in which you attempt to summit a ruined tower – a relic of a fanatical sect trying to reach the sun. Facing dangerous animals, crumbling architecture, and perilous pitfalls, can you reach the Summit, and perhaps, redemption?
Camera Obscura uses an innovative "afterimage" mechanic that allows the player to temporarily clone the Tower's architecture in order to span gaps, create staircases, and freeze moving platforms in place. The ability to copy and manipulate each level allows players to find many paths through the tower's 57 maps.
Innovative "afterimage" mechanic. "Flash" the screen to create a ghostly double of your surroundings. Manipulate the afterimage to turn walls into stairs, platforms into cages, and even defend yourself against the creatures in the tower.
Custom level editor. No programming required, just point and click to create platforms, enemies, switches, and doors. Share you levels on the Steam Workshop.
Original soundtrack. Listen to 11 beautifully-composed tracks throughout the Tower's eight zones.

É jogável, legalzinho, uma baita ideia, mas não é cativante, cores enjoativas, sem emoção... Não marca a pessoa, provavelmente você lembrará de muitos outros jogos em vez desse quando o tempo passar.
Uma ideia bem única, mas que se estende demais e não aproveita sua mecânica principal de formas divertidas, sendo frustrante na maior parte do tempo
https://youtu.be/QzR6P0tJnIk Nailing the timing over and over for the snap shot mechanic to freeze doesn't quiet lock into place as well as it should.
The game mechanic with the camera while interesting, it's very lack luster as it's provided at the start and levels do not change for the mechanic or incorporate new challenges as the levels go on. Many of the levels feel repetitious and while thrown about pages for story might be okay for those wanting no story to their game, The method doesn't work well when the gameplay isn't engaging
Camera Obscura is a very basic platformer with a cool mechanic, but one that gets tedious very fast. Empty, repetitive levels. Unappealing visuals and music. Boring, preachy story. The trailer shows the entirety of the game - you just jump around and use the snap mechanic. There is nothing interesting or rewarding about it.
An interesting concept, but it gets very repetitive. It feels like a slog almost halfway through the game. Hitboxes and platforming were definitely questionable. The story is essentially just some text throughout the game in the form of mementos. The endings also don't hit too hard either. Even at the $1.99 it feels like it should have been a free flash game back in the day.
Бросил. Для меня слишком лёгкая игра. Возможно дальше было бы интереснее, но что-то мне не интересно. У игры был отличный потенциал из-за интересной механики, но её не удалось реализовать в должной мере.
