February/March: I Turn My Camera On

In February and March, the theme is cameras! Play any game where a camera/photos/filmed footage is important to making progress, like games where you have to take photos of situations or creatures, like SPY×ANYA: Operation Memories or Penko Park, games where you analyze photos or recorded material, like Her Story, games where you're in charge of cameras/what's shown on them, like Not For Broadcast, or games where you're in front of the cameras, like Youtubers Life.


You can use the following format to track your progress in the comments, and/or add your own thoughts about the played game(s) to your post!

FAQ

Do I have to participate in this month’s theme?
No, as with every theme, these are merely suggestions for anyone who is unsure about what to play next. If you already have a battle plan for your backlog and/or don’t like this month’s theme, you’re free to ignore it.

What happens if I don’t participate in the theme?
Nothing.

What happens if I play all of my unfinished games before the theme is over?
Your backlog will be a much smaller place.

I don’t have any unfinished games - I’ve beaten everything I’ve started.
Really? well that makes one of us… I salute you.

I already finished my entry can I play another?
Go ahead - the goal is to reduce your unfinished games list. The more you can play the better.

Hmm this is a maybe… This game has the main character’s eye being a bionic implant. So it does function as a camera….but idk…
Similar issue with Deliver Us the moon, we have a drone/bot companion that can be used remotely, and it appears as a viewfinder. So maybe this qualifies as well?..

Edit: Well, that didn’t happen. I did finish “Boxes: Lost Fragments” and “Day of the Tentacle Remastered,” so it wasn’t a complete loss.

TOEM is such a gem ! I also just found 2 games to fit, let’s go ! :D

Do not feed the monkeys 2099 28/35 10,6 hr Beaten
Beholder 3 35/37 11,8 hr Beaten

edit 12/02 : both finished (not 100%) following a guide

  • Do not feed the monkeys 2099 was quite repetitive (5 playthroughs you play the same multiple times) but original and funny
  • Played Beholder 3 with a controller. Though a bit redundant to go for the multiple endings and not always easy to run after the money, gameplay knew how to renew itself and it was a good discovery i don’t regret.

Hello, i noticed it’s the same theme this month, so would like to add for march :

Beasts of Maravilla Island 31/31 5 hr Completed

edit 04/03 : Photos games are quite rare and nature invented in the game is worth a look ; i missed a photo at 1st playthrough, but game was generous enough to provide fast chapter load. Also there were some spiders, fortunately static or little ones. 😐
