The Epic Games Store has revealed its latest mystery free game, and this time it is Viewfinder. PC gamers can claim the puzzle adventure for free until December 30 at 11 AM EST. Once claimed, the game will remain in the user’s library forever.
Viewfinder is a single-player puzzle game that stands out for its creative gameplay. Instead of moving objects or pressing switches, the game asks players to change the world itself. Players use a camera to take photos of the environment. These photos can then be placed back into the world as real objects. This allows players to create new paths, platforms, and solutions to puzzles.
The core idea of Viewfinder is simple but very clever. A flat image can become a solid structure when placed correctly. A picture of a bridge can turn into a real bridge. A photo of a wall can block a gap. Almost every puzzle is built around this idea of turning two-dimensional images into part of a three-dimensional space.
The game is developed by Sad Owl Studios and was released in 2024. It quickly gained attention for its fresh concept and strong puzzle design. Many players and critics consider it one of the most creative puzzle games in recent years. The puzzles are challenging, but they are fair. The game encourages experimentation instead of punishing mistakes.
This giveaway is part of Epic Games Store’s holiday promotion. Every day, the store unlocks a new free game for a limited time. So far, the giveaway lineup has been strong. Epic Games Store has already offered Hogwarts Legacy, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, The Callisto Protocol, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Paradise Killer, Cassette Beasts, We Were Here Together, and SKALD: Against the Black Priory.
