The 2025 Wholesome Direct is on June 7, and indie studio Endflame’s game Instants will be available during the show!

Instants is a cosy puzzle game that is built around photo albums: those lovely things that most families have to keep memories. I have a bunch of them myself, and I like the sound of what Instants offers. Players piece together a family’s story through these photo albums, solving relaxing puzzles with a bunch of customization options to boot. In a time where we can all do with some wholesome things, Instants looks like a lovely addition to that genre.
