Upcoming puzzle title Viewfinder’s latest deep dive trailer shows off more of the immersive photography-tinged worldbuilding and gorgeous environmental design.
Similar to the likes ofPortalandThe Talos Principle, you’ll be taking an unconventional approach to traditional puzzle solving where your camera lens is crucial in navigating around the game world. That’s to say nothing of the likes of colored film, as well as black and white negatives, which add a further dimension to proceedings.
Presumably, asViewfindergoes on more photography gear will be needed to circumvent each challenge. There’s a chance we’ll see macro and micro lenses as well as different types of film, as well as shooting on digital and Polaroid alongside the otherworldly aspects. It’s an excellent idea and one of the most unique titles we’ve seen for some time. Seeing that the game was originally announced only five months ago, some real progress has been made in that time.
Destruction looks to be the name of the game as while you’ll be building on the world around you, you’ll also need to tear it down.Viewfinderlooks like a truly tricky puzzler that’ll test even the sharpest among us. The genre is having a bit of a streak recently asThe Talos Principle 2was recently announced, so there is really stiff competition in the first-person walking sim space.
Viewfinderis expected to release onPS5and PC on July 18, so you won’t have to wait long to experience what could be the next big thing in the puzzle game genre. Thunderful Games is the studio behind such breakout hits as the Steamworld franchise, as well as Super Meat Boy Forever, and Lego Bricktales just to name a few.
