Viewfinder

I adore this game. Every level is beautiful and clearly designed with heart. I love that there are chairs everywhere so you can just sit down and enjoy the view. Also, I like how smoothly implemented all the mechanics are. This game's main mechanic revolves around photographs, and so it's fitting that all the little notes and audio logs scattered around really nail the feeling of exploring past memories/events frozen in time. The title Viewfinder having multiple meanings is very clever and it, along with the rest of the game, reminds me of Superliminal's message talking about finding a different perspective, and it does so in more ways than one. Speaking of looking for different angles, the puzzles have very fun ideas behind them. And while they're really simple, I think that's the point. By being simple rather than difficult they don't detract from the story or experience, and they also play into one of the messages of the game that simple solutions, even though overlooked, are often the best ones, even for problems that seem impossible to solve. The game actually has a couple of messages all of which are very strong. It's a unique game that I recommend to experience for people who like deep conclusions.
