Illustration: Gamebrief. Original artwork, not an image from the game.

In Viewfinder you pick up photographs, drawings and postcards, hold them up and place them in the world, and whatever they show becomes real and walkable. A picture of a bridge becomes a bridge.

From that simple starting point the game keeps finding new twists, without ever overstaying its welcome. Mistakes can be rewound instantly, so you are free to experiment.

What we like

  • A genuinely new idea
  • Constant moments of surprise
  • Rewind removes frustration

Worth knowing

  • Short
  • The story stays in the background
