Episode 47: TOEM

Press any Button: A Video Game Podcast

In this week's episode, Nicky and Eric discuss the best way to photograph a 2.5 dimensional cartoon in TOEM. TOEM is a photography/puzzle game developed and published by Swedish independent game studio Something We Made. It was released in September 2021 for Windows, Switch, and PS5. You play as a young photographer who must ascend a mountain to witness a phenomenon known as TOEM. In order to advance to new areas you must receive stamps by doing good deeds for NPC's so you can ride the bus. Thankfully for you, most of those good deeds involves taking pictures.

About us:

Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story, and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?) BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap!
