All in all I enjoyed the hard challenge that Camera Obscura provided (despite the odd keyboard slamming moment) and the included written story that you collect and build as you go along, which to me makes this game well worth the money for anyone to try.

Visually, Camera Obscura embraces a retro pixel-art style that evokes classic platformers while still maintaining a distinctive atmosphere.

The relaxed feeling in Camera Obscura comes mostly from its great soundtrack.
