C all it a long exposure. Umurangi Generation first arrived on PC last year, attracting a cult following and a nomination for the IGF’s Seumas McNally Grand Prize. Now it has arrived on Switch, complete with its Macro DLC pack. It’s a move that has helped many indie darlings break through, and in some ways Nintendo’s console feels like a natural home for this photography-focused game.

In handheld mode, with motion controls activated, the screen in your palms makes perfect sense as a viewfinder, as you’re dropped into each of the game’s levels –a hangout spot, a protest, the frontlines of a war – with a beaten-up SLR, a time limit and a shot list of objectives. You might be asked to take a close-up of a graffiti tag, or to use your telephoto lens to snap a portrait of someone in a face mask. The challenge stems first from finding these objects, and then figuring out how to frame them to meet the requirements: how are you going to squeeze seven birds into a single shot? The answer often requires rethinking your surroundings like a parkour traceur, clambering up to an out-of-reach spot or squeezing into a tight corner.
