I cannot recommend Viewfinder enough, and seeing this game made me so happy that more people are considering making more games with similar mechanics. There's so much potential, and using it for a game about liminal spaces was a neat idea! I'd say definitely expand on it!
The developer explicity states that the idea is from viewfinder on this page. In my opinion the game does far more than enough to make a novel experience. And it's for free. Props for making a new account just to comment tho lol
Yeah I don't do this often but let me dogpile in on this, in this particular instance striking the game as being uncreative is just bad form. So what if it uses the same mechanic, it's a really cool mechanic and unlike most game out there. It's honestly incredible this dev was able to replicate it, might as well rip on all platforming games for not inventing jumping while you are at it. Oh and that username, super petty. If I didn't know better I'd suspect a salty dev was hiding behind it...
Doesn't work well on trackpad - they don't work well with trying to do two mouse inputs at once. Would have liked remappable controls to work around this, but is what it is. Shame because I think I would have really liked this otherwise.
This game is very abstract and interesting. The gameplay itself is very smooth and well optimized, and the mechanics are very cool. I made a video if you're interested, it is the first game I play.
The places where we proceeded to set up paintings made me feel the abyss and play in a cold sweat. The inside of the painting of the sea with ducks was particularly chilling.
The puzzle element was very enjoyable in the places where I took pictures and connected the paths!
Really nice game. Tricky because my depth perception is bad. But also I feel like how would the camera know what's behind the objects you're taking photos of? But once I accepted it's more like copying the space in front of you, got the hang of it. Neat concept, would be interesting to see a more complex game that builds off of this mechanic.
Hey Developer(s), I played your game and I am blown away by the mechanics of this game, I didn't even know there was a game called ViewFinder and it was inspired, but damn I loved this, cant wait for full release dude(s)!
This is a really cool game and I enjoyed playing it. The game was both unique and interesting, and the ending was pretty awesome. I hope to see more interesting games like this in the future.
THIS GAME WAS SO MUCH FUN! I love games that play around with unique concepts and this one's was very interesting. Pretty much spent the entire video geeking out over the mechanic of turning the 2D pictures into 3D reality. Only criticism I really have is that I wish there were a few more horror aspects in the game. But, overall incredible game, would love a sequel.
I really love the viewfinder games and this was just as fun! I think it could’ve been A little scarier but overall I loved it. Great work and thank you so much for sharing.
Loved this game! Always wanted to play Viewfinder but wasn't sure if I would like the puzzles. And after playing this game I can definitely say that I love these mechanics! I also loved that you put some horror elements into it. The spider and shadow person really put me on edge. Well done!

I loved the concept, well done.
This Game Was Weird And Amazing. Nice Job
This Game was so fun amazing gameplay
very cool horror twist, like nightmare viewfinder! the atmosphere was very liminal, sound design was great, puzzles challenging yet solvable, 9/10
Fun stuff, interesting puzzles are a change of pace but good quality as usual
