Gameplay and setting

Viewfinder is played from a first-person point of view and sees the player walking through a colorful world with their camera, taking pictures and placing these frames into the landscape. Then the pictures come alive and become part of the world, changing the feel, art style, and tone of the area. The game even features art from real life and blends this seamlessly with the game world.

The goal is to use these photos to traverse the game world in creative ways by thinking carefully. Using the right image will allow the player to bend the world to their will and reach places that were previously inaccessible. However, each image also alters the game world and poses its own challenges once it has been integrated.
