About Toem 2
Toem 2 is a first-person adventure game from Something We Made, released on December 31, 2026, for PC. It follows a curious photographer navigating a whimsical, handcrafted world filled with secrets. The sequel expands on the original’s quiet exploration, encouraging players to uncover hidden details, assist quirky characters, and snap photos of small, charming wonders. With no combat or time pressure, the game focuses on environmental storytelling and discovery. It’s a slow-paced, single-player experience that rewards attention to subtle visual cues and interactions. Think of it as a digital photo album where every frame hides a story.
Gameplay
Toem 2 plays like a walking simulator with purpose. You explore open, surreal environments by moving with WASD and using a camera to document objects, creatures, and scenes. The core loop involves solving minor puzzles to progress, like aligning mirrors to light a path or arranging items to unlock a door, while documenting everything you find. Each area feels like a diorama, with intricate set dressing and secrets tucked into corners. Helping NPCs often involves retrieving items or triggering environmental changes, which slightly alters the world. The camera mechanic is central; photos count toward achievements and reveal collectibles. Sessions rarely feel rushed, with most time spent wandering and observing.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Toem 2 at 89%, with 82% completing the main story in 12-15 hours. The game’s “calm” and “charming” vibes dominate community moods, though some note its slow pace can feel tedious. Achievement hunters report a 78% completion rate for the 50+ collectibles, with the hardest rewards tied to obscure photo spots. Critic scores average 84/100, praising its art direction but criticizing repetitive puzzle designs. Reviews highlight the “soothing atmosphere” and “beautifully realized world,” while others call it “a niche experience for patient players.” Average playtime spikes at 17 hours for full completion.
PlayPile's Take
Toem 2 is ideal for fans of slow, atmospheric exploration. At $19.99, it’s a low-risk buy for those who enjoy documenting hidden details in serene environments. The 50+ achievements and replayability for completionists add value. However, if you prefer action or structured objectives, this will feel meandering. The sequel refines its predecessor’s charm but doesn’t reinvent the formula. It’s a $20 meditation in pixels, best played during rainy weekends.
