I loved TOEM: A Photo Adventure for its gameplay -- but my time with it also sparked some ideas for me about *why* we scrapbook in video games.

How do in-game journals, scrapbooks, and compendiums record our journeys? How can those records be made to feel personal and handmade by the player? And finally... how does it shape our relationship with collectibles?

How did I come to love TOEM so dang much?
