How Long Is As Hermit Crabs Do?
sonflower's review of As Hermit Crabs Do
'as hermit crabs do' is a short photography game in which your life is soon to end. you're hidden away in a greenhouse, the world outside now uninhabitable. the plants and your camera are your only company, the droning guitar music, the ebb and flow of strange daylight. you have space for one last photo.
so, before you die, it's up to you what this last image will be. that's it - you explore at your own pace until you end the game with that final snapped photograph.
it's a soothing experience if you flow with things. first person games usually even make me motion sick, but this one's so short and self-paced that i could settle right in.
when the in-game photo didn't save for me however, i had to laugh. impermanence is kind of what it's all about, you know? we love what we have, and what we've had, and can't help but want to share with the future. (buuut if you're playing on linux, just remember to take a screenshot at the end as a safety measure like i certainly didn't do.)
'as hermit crabs do' is such a perfectly bittersweet experience. no two images …

'as hermit crabs do' is such a perfectly bittersweet experience. no two images will be identical. even on a replay, i couldn't recreate what i once had. <3
