Critic Reviews
Viewfinder Review- Perspective Puzzles and Poignant Ponderings
While slightly too short, what content Viewfinder does have is top notch and occasionally mind bending, matched with a bittersweet but relatable story about friendship, failure, and hope.

Innovative puzzle design and truly astonishing visual trickery make this puzzle game a must-play—even if it doesn't quite have the space to make the most of its best ideas.

Spellbindingly surreal and stimulating to the end, Viewfinder is the freakiest form of photo mode in which every snap is a happy one.
