By the year 2024, I have become so exhausted in trying to piece together game narratives that are presented, out of order and exclusively, as mawkish audio recordings and diary pages. I HATE the storytelling of 'Viewfinder.' I should have taken the advice of @joshua0484 and just ignored it. Leave the phone ringing. Never press play on the audio recordings. Trash the documents. That aside, the puzzle game here is wonderful. You can photograph three-dimensional level architecture and move it to anywhere you please. It's hard to explain how any of it works, but know that it works. 'Viewfinder' has smart puzzle mechanics that expand in interesting ways throughout the runtime. I would recommend this game to anyone unlikely to get frustrated in a first-person puzzle space. But please do yourself a favor and ignore anything relating to the story.
