Viewfinder

Viewfinder is a puzzle game in which you transform the world by taking pictures and manipulating perspective. The game combines many different artstyles, resulting in a surreal atmosphere. It's a debut game of a small Scottish studio Sad Owl Studios. It was published by Thunderful Publishing, responsible for many other indie games, such as Planet of Lana.

Mechanics

The game's world is three-dimensional and observed from a first-person view. The player's objective is to solve puzzles by altering the reality around them and messing with the perspective. This can be done with a polaroid, which can take photos of objects and implement them into the world for various purposes, such as creating ages to previously inaccessible locations. Other pictures, such as sketches, postcards and screenshots, can also be "brought to life". The player also encounters many surreal elements and optical illusions, which can shift depending on the perspective.
