    While it's pretty short this game packs a lot of punch. It's fun exploring environments and trying to photograph everything I need to, fitting a lot in with the right angle and frame.

    This game also nails environmental storytelling and I found myself very curious to learn more about the state of the world.

    This game also nails environmental storytelling and I found myself very curious to learn more about the state of the world. If you're ok with something that will just last a couple of hours and you're interested in something different then umurangi generation is definitely worth a look!

    Edit : Turned out there were extra levels left. I think it's a dlc pack that came as part of the game. It adds a couple of extra hours and some really cool environments to explore! definitely adds to the value of the game in my opinion. Would strongly recommend checking this one out :)    … Expand

    Umurangi Generation is a game of jagged edged, in many more ways than one. We just with that didn't apply to how it so often feels in the hands. [Issue#361, p.119]

    Short, but impactful. Interesting, but flawed. Umurangi Generation Special Edition is a photography-centered experience that is sometimes weird, sometimes contemplative, but thoroughly unique.

    A game as unexpected and compelling in its message as in its moment-to-moment challenge.
