Release Date: April 15, 2025
An explorative FPP game, in which we play as a photographer. Lushfoil Photography Sim has us traversing different locations from all around the world, taking photos.
Lushfoil Photography Sim is an exploration game with simulation elements. It was created by an indie Australian developer Matt Newell and published by Annapurna Interactive.
Lushfoil Photography Sim is a first-person game. Players must explore various areas and take photos of landscapes. Searching for a perfect shot, we can use a drone for an elevated view of our surroundings, or a boat to through water and reach otherwise inaccessible places. There are new cameras scattered around the locations, encouraging us to explore every nook and cranny.
The game features many different environments from all across the world. We'll get to visit rugged coastlines, beautiful forest valleys, mountaintops and Icelandic wastelands. Our primary tool is a SLR camera. Available cameras offer advanced settings regarding focus, flash, exposure, contrast, white balance and cover. We can also modify local environmental conditions; depending on our photo ideas, we can change the light angle, fogginess, wind, cause rainfall or snowfall.
Lushfoil Photography Sim makes great use of the Unreal Engine 5. The realistic environments are extremely detailed; the dynamic lighting and plants moving to the wind are also quite appealing.

Push Square: 8 / 10 by Robert Ramsey
Lushfoil Photography Sim is a deeply relaxing, lovingly crafted excursion that's so easy to get lost in.
Gameffine: 90 / 100 by Farzeen K H
Lushfoil Photography Sim isn’t trying to be everything. It’s focused, intentional, and confident in what it offers: a quiet, creative space to observe and capture beauty. For players who crave speed and stimulation, it might feel empty. But for those willing to slow down, to look closely, and to create, it offers something rich, calming, and surprisingly emotional. It’s not just a virtual camera sim. It’s a meditative tool. A way to engage with art and nature in one of the most honest formats I’ve seen in gaming. And that’s worth celebrating.
Use a Potion: 8 / 10
Lushfoil Photography Sim is a captivating experience that blends the joy of exploration with the depth of real photography. Its gorgeous vistas and near-authentic camera sandbox let you disappear into the craft of picture-taking without a care in the world, while there are enough elements of progression to keep the free-form strolling from turning aimless. And sure, the invisible walls and sometimes fiddly controls can be a little jarring, but they don’t detract from what is otherwise a beautiful and very personal experience.
