Snapshot

A game by Retro Affect for PC, PS3, and Vita, originally released in 2012.
As the game begins, a series of photographs is seen lying in a pile, and each press of the action button slides one a way, slowly revealing the premise in picture format. We see a metal container lying in an overgrown forest. Inside is a laboratory with drawings on the wall, including one that shows the design of a robot. A pair of canisters sits in the back of the lab, covered with spider webs from years of inactivity. One canister is broken, but the other contains a robot that appears to be sleeping within. A light comes on and the robot awakes. We see a label that says Portable Intelligent Camera, providing us with the robot’s name and function. Lights turn red and a sign comes on with the word “EJECT”, and the canister blasts off, leaving behind a plume of smoke in the middle of a forest.
