Viewfinder is a mind-bending first-person puzzler that lets you reshape reality while solving puzzling conundrums.

Viewfinder is a mind-bending first person adventure game in which you can bring pictures to life by placing them into the world.

Challenge perception, redefine reality, and reshape the world around you with an instant camera. Viewfinder is a new single player game offering gamers hours of interesting and fun experiences while uncovering the mysteries left behind

In Viewfinder, you explore a beautiful and fun world full of mystery. Photos, paintings, sketches, screenshots and posters can be placed in the world to become a fabric of its reality, reshaping the environment around you. This unique mechanic delights in the way it plays with perception, evolving in surprising directions that keeps players challenged with every new puzzle they encounter.


“The game has come so far from the technical demo of 2020, we’re very happy to have explored how we can build an interesting game experience around this mechanic,” said Matt Stark, Game Director. “We want to make a game that’s accessible and appealing to people who wouldn’t usually like these types of games. There’s a lot of fun and silly things that we’re working on to add into the game.”

“One of the things we are aware of is that while the game’s narrative can be anything we want it to be, the core gameplay has to feel good. We often go on gut feel and think of fun ways for our players to engage with the world we are building,” said Gwen Foster, Business Director.

“We think it’s a really special game and we have found the right kind of people to work on it, so we want you to enjoy the game just as much as we did making it,” said Georg Backer, Executive Producer.

Key Features:

  • Reshape Reality: Beyond photographs, bring paintings, sketches, screenshots and postcards to life while reshaping the world
  • Exploration is learning: You will learn the secrets of the world, the reason why it exists, and the freedom to create. Explore multiple hub worlds that are all cohesive and encompass similar, but complex, differences
  • Experience as much as you want: Viewfinder’s narrative is player driven and will be an approachable experience to someone who just wants to play and solve puzzles, and a rich well thought off world to a player who wants to learn more
  • Find the answer to the impossible, once you step in the world of Viewfinder

Viewfinder is coming to PS5 (console launch exclusive) and PC (Steam) in 2023.
