Press release:
Gothenburg, Sweden – July 18th, 2023.
SOS (Sad Owl Studios) and Thunderful are excited to announce that their highly anticipated first-person puzzle adventure, “Viewfinder“, is out now on PC and PlayStation.

Viewfinder’s innovative and imaginative gameplay allows you to change how you perceive reality to solve intricate puzzles while exploring a beautiful world full of mystery.

Viewfinder captures the story of our ever changing world, human experience and relationships, meaningful and misguided passion for change, and overcoming loss. Explore all of this on an enigmatic journey and uncover well hidden secrets in this vibrant landscape of a world left behind.

Photos, paintings, sketches, screenshots and posters can be placed in the world to become a fabric of its reality, reshaping the environment around you. This unique mechanic delights in the way it plays with perception, evolving in surprising directions that keep players challenged with every new puzzle they encounter. From its aesthetics to its mechanics, Viewfinder always has the capacity to surprise.

“Viewfinder will blow your mind with its intricate and obscure perception challenges,’’ said Matt Stark, Game Director.

“We have loved seeing and hearing your reactions to the Viewfinder demo and can’t wait for you all to construct whole new realities and experience the full game today on PC and Playstation.”

“It’s a real privilege to be able to work with such amazingly talented developers,” said Harriet Hughes, Vice President of Marketing at Thunderful.

“The team at Sad Owl Studios have blended technical innovation with creative charm to create something incredibly special with Viewfinder. I’d like to congratulate them on behalf of Thunderful for what they’ve achieved and I’m looking forward to you all getting to enjoy all those mindblowing ‘how is this possible?!’ moments that Viewfinder delivers!”
