00:00 Viewfinder is a new, incredibly well-designed puzzle game.
00:04 Reminiscent of Portal and Bubba is You, it appears simple at first but reveals its depth
00:09 as players explore its mechanics.
00:11 Each puzzle is challenging and engaging, leaving players with a sense of satisfaction when
00:16 finding the solutions and building upon that feeling as you progress deeper into the game's
00:21 cozy atmosphere.
00:23 The core concept of Viewfinder is to project static images into the game world, offering
00:28 a range of possibilities for manipulating the colorful environments.
00:32 As you progress, you'll discover the various ways this power can be used, from creating
00:36 structures to removing obstacles.
00:39 The game reveals its mechanics gradually, eventually empowering the player to take their
00:44 own pictures and devise their own unique solutions.
00:47 Each stage in Viewfinder aims to reach a teleporter.
00:51 Players must strategize how and where to project pictures, considering factors like power sources
00:57 and interconnected networks.
00:59 The puzzles start simple but quickly become more intricate, demanding players to think
01:04 outside the box and experiment.
01:07 According to GameSpot, while Viewfinder's gameplay is consistently engaging, its narrative
01:12 falls somewhat short.
01:14 The story takes place in a simulation guided by an AI in the form of a cat named Kate.
01:19 Although the narrative attempts to explore deeper themes, it lacks emotional impact due
01:24 to the lack of memorable characters.
01:26 Despite this, the game's strengths lie in its unique puzzles, which offer a satisfying
01:31 and enjoyable experience.
01:33 Viewfinder's elegant simplicity combined with its complex challenges solidifies it
01:38 as one of the top new puzzle games out now.
