Viewfinder free on Epic Games Store

Epic continues its holiday free games promotion, active from December 11, 2025 to January 8, 2026, with weekly titles and daily 24-hour rotations. Today it’s the turn of Viewfinder, developed by Sad Owl Studios and published by Thunderful Publishing, a game that combines photography, perspective, and creativity to solve puzzles in surreal worlds.


What is Viewfinder

Viewfinder invites you to explore a universe where images are not just memories, but tools to alter reality.

  • Each photograph, drawing, or polaroid can become a three-dimensional object within the environment.
  • The player must use creativity and perspective to open paths, build bridges, or solve puzzles.
  • The narrative is environmental and reflective, accompanied by a cat guide that adds warmth amidst the challenges.

Style and mechanics

The game stands out for its minimalist and surreal aesthetic, with environments that feel like architectural dreams.

  • Image transformation: a photo of a bridge becomes a real bridge.
  • Creative exploration: each level offers a different challenge, based on perspective and experimentation.
  • Short but intense duration: designed to be enjoyed in sessions of discovery.
  • Atmospheric sound: music and effects reinforce the sense of immersion and reflection.

Epic’s giveaway schedule

  • Duration: From December 11, 2025 to January 8, 2026.
  • Rhythm: Free games every week and daily 24-hour rotations.
