Screenshot Saturday Sundays: Fluffy photographers, damp driveways, and living layers

Screenshot Saturday! A day to dream of all the games that might one day be. What do you mean Gamescom starts tomorrow and that’s what that event is for? This is our weekly version, smaller and better. (Also, what do you mean Gamescom starts tomorrow? How is time??)

J.U.L.I.A. is an adventure game set in a distant solar system, as well as the name of an AI in that game.
