Both the areas you guide the small child you are playing as through and the sounds that haunt your ears as you do so contribute to making the title a hidden gem within the Xbox Game Pass library. Just as with games like Little Nightmares and Inside, a large part of the game’s brilliance stems from its environments. The majority of the gameplay revolves around light platforming and puzzle-solving to progress, but if you’re focusing solely on the gameplay, you’re doing Bramble a huge disservice. Think Little Nightmares with more of a fantasy-esque setting. With a healthy helping of atmospheric horror and a dash of terrifying folk tale tropes, Bramble: The Mountain King is exactly the game you are looking for if you want to be entertained and creeped out at the same time. And if that sounds darn right delightful, then TOEM is the game for you. TOEM is here to be played, completed, and enjoyed in one bite-sized sitting.

It isn’t here to challenge you it isn’t here to rate the quality of your photos. What are games for if not to engage and entertain you? But TOEM goes above and beyond with how snug and comforting it feels.

Now some may claim that the simplistic nature of the game makes it boring.

You go off on the straightforward adventure of exploring your world and taking photos of adorable events and charming creatures. Sometimes, all you need from a game is a quiet time taking cute pictures.That’s what TOEM offers.

Not every game has to be an epic quest with an intricate storyline or a competitive battle royale with twitch-skill duels that determine whether or not you take home first place.
