"Now where did I put my photographs?"

As an Antarctic researcher, photographs are a beautiful way of documenting moments in the icy wilderness.

Polaroid: Antarctica tasks you with finding and collecting photos scattered around a cosy research cabin to engage in introspective inner dialogues exploring themes of eco-friendliness.

lovely game, beautiful art! I visited Ushuaia last year, saw the penguins, it gave me a bigger perspective on biodiversity and environmental preservation. This little piece touched my soul <3

I'm so so glad! Thank you for playing!

A quaint game that is stripped back and a simple delight. Enjoy it with a hot chocolate! Thanks Robert

Are the sparkles done with actor’s or tileswaps? Great work in such a limited timeframe!

The sparkles are actors! Exactly 10 so it's at the scene limit!

this is an excellent take on the “Art Cart” genre. Great use of a robust tile set with some clever restrictions to make it run on GB. I had a great time playing this one.

I agree, I really tried to tap into the art-cart feel with this one! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
