From now until December 30th at 11:00am ET, Viewfinder is completely free on the Epic Games Store. Developed by Sad Owl Studios and published by Thunderful, Viewfinder is a first-person puzzle game that launched back in 2023. The game gives players control of a camera that allows them to warp the environment that they’re in. This tool leads to a variety of puzzle-solving objectives that continue to get more difficult over time. Typically, Viewfinder retails for $25, so it going free on the Epic Store saves users quite a bit of money.
“Challenge perception, redefine reality, and reshape the world around you with an instant camera,” says the game’s official description. “Viewfinder is a new single-player game offering gamers hours of interesting and fun experiences while uncovering the mysteries left behind.”
While Viewfinder might not have much name recognition for casual gamers, the game has received a ton of praise from those who have played it. On Steam, Viewfinder boasts a “Very Positive” average rating from players, which is one of the highest such designations that a game can receive on the platform. Critics also lavished praise upon Viewfinder, with it garnering an 84/100 aggregate review score on Metacritic. So if you find yourself in the mood for a new puzzle game to play, Viewfinder should scratch that itch adequately.
