For those who love charming indie games with delightful hand-drawn art,Toemis a dream come true. The game encourages players to take their time appreciating the environments, and completing quests to uncover the mysteries of the game’s world.
Before being able to travel forward inToem, players will need to complete quests to earn stamps. There are 15 quests to complete in Oaklaville, but only seven are needed to move on to Stanhamn. To get the “Strong As An Oak” Achievement; however, players will need to complete all 15.
Become a Paparazzi
There are a few quests inToemthat players will pick up automatically, this being one of them. It will be added to the quest log when first arriving to Oaklaville. The instructions are simple enough: “Get a Good Photo of a DJ.”
The DJ can be found in the club.From the Hotel, go right three times and up once. If the bouncer doesn’t let you through, put on the Ghost Glasses (received when players go to the Graveyard for the first time) to get by him. Walk up to the DJ (the Moose), and take a picture of him to complete this quest.
Become a Flower
Players will automatically pick up this quest when they first get to Oaklaville. The clue for the photo is “Time for Photosynthesis.”
From the Hotel, go right twice (there will be a tree with a beehive hanging from a tree here). On the bottom of this area will bea wooden photo op with a flower painted on it.Interact with the frame to step up to the hole and take the camera out. Turn on selfie mode and take a picture of the main character next to the wooden board.
Missing Socks
This quest can be picked up from the sad sock puppet sitting on the bench on the side of the Hotel. He’ll tell a story about how he went swimming and when he came back hometo dry his socks, one was missing.
Players will need to get theGhost Glassesbefore they can do this quest. From the Hotel, go left three times to the Graveyard. The skeleton fellow will automatically give players the glasses when they arrive. Equip them and go back to the right twice so to the area with the Mushroom House. (If the house is not yet grown, a sprout will be sticking out of the ground from where it will eventually grow.) Talk with the Ghost standing by the picnic table with the flower pots, and he’ll offer to play a game of “Socks in a Cup.”
Agree to play, and the flower pots will slowly begin to shuffle. One has a pair of Wet Socks underneath it. When the pots stop,choose the one with the Wet Socksto receive the socks as a prize. Take the socks back to the puppet to complete the quest. Because he now has two Wet Socks, he’ll give the player one to keep as a reward.
Monster Spotting
Players pick up this Quest from the kid standing in the lobby of the Hotel. He’ll tell players all about “Monsters,” and request help taking pictures of four of them in different cities. The Monsters don’t like to be seen and will only come out when the main character is not visible, sothe tripod will be needed for all of these.(Players receive this item after completing the first Photo Challenge). When the tripod is out, the camera view will be from the tripod itself, allowing the character to remain hidden while taking pictures.
Bushy (Oaklaville)
From the Hotel, go right twice to where the beehive is.Bushy will be hiding in the trees on the right(he’ll be the shadowy figure). Place the tripod in the middle of the area and hide behind the wooden board with the flower painted on it. When hidden, Bushy will come out. Equip the camera and take their picture.
Lochy (Stanhamn)
This is in essence the Lochness Monster, and is located in the area with the Shy Hippo and Photo Challenge Scout #3 (from the Bus Stop, go left twice).Place the Tripod next to the hippoand go down to the sand area, out of sight. Open the camera, and when Lochy comes out of the water, take her picture.
Sewy (Logcity)
Sewy is located in the area with the skaters (from the Newspaper Building, go left once).She will pop out from the sewer cap on the lower level,so place the tripod anywhere within sight of it. Hide behind a wall and equip the camera. When she appears, take her picture.
Tally (Kiiruberg)
Tally is located in the windy area of Kiiruberg. From the balloon family’s house, go up once and then right twice. Players will need the Honk attachment to break the ice blocks to get through. (This item is given to the player when the quest ‘Solve the Chaos’ in Stanhamn is completed).
In the open area,place the tripod by the cliff and break the boulder behind the ledgewith the Honk attachment, allowing the player to hide. Equip the camera, and when Tally appears, take their picture.
Take all four photos back to the boy in the Hotel in Oaklaville and show them to him. This will complete the quest, and he’ll give players theMonster Maskas a reward.
