Batography

While Batography is over quicker than a mooncake break, this full moon adventure is full of heart. Those looking to kick off the Lunar New Year in style – and get some nice shots in the process – shouldn’t sleep on this cozy title.

Batography is a short but incredibly charming game that delivers a burst of positivity in under 30 minutes. If you’re looking for a stress-free, mood-lifting experience, this is absolutely worth picking up. And since it’s free, there’s no reason not to give it a try. Though brief, Batography hints at the potential for a much larger and more expansive game. If the developers ever choose to revisit this formula, adding depth to the camera mechanics and expanding the world, it could be something truly special. Until then, Batography remains a delightful gem that is great for young and old players who want to relax, smile, and enjoy a wholesome experience.

I am a fan of cozy games and when I first saw the video for Batography I knew I would enjoy it. I perhaps didn’t realise how much I would enjoy it though. Even writing this review I have stopped writing and dipped back into the game. Deciding to get just one more photograph, or trying out an idea that flashed into my head about where on earth that last mooncake is! The art is pretty, the music is a vibe and there was just enough puzzle my brain felt engaged without overly busy. My only gripe is that I want more. (If you’re reading this, SporkTank, please, please give us BaTWOgraphy.) I would love to explore the forest a little bit more or maybe even venture more into the city. But I realise that in the grand scheme of things, this isn’t a real gripe at all. I award Batography the Thumb Culture Gold Award.
