Here's some further details about the game from the official press blurb:
As a BAFTA and UKIE Video Game Awards 2024 winner, Viewfinder immerses players in a mind-bending first-person puzzle adventure that brings pictures to life by placing them into the world. Players will embark on an unforgettable story that digs deeper into the ever changing world, human experience and relationships, meaningful and misguided passion for change and overcoming loss. Viewfinder is currently available on PC and PlayStation.
Key gameplay features include:
Reshape Reality – Players can bring photographs, paintings, sketches, screenshots and postcards to life while reshaping the world and uncovering what the founders left behind.
Exploration is Learning – Players will learn the secrets of the world, the reason why it exists and the freedom to create by exploring multiple hub worlds that are all cohesive and encompass similar, but complex, differences.
Endless Experiences – Viewfinder’s narrative is player driven, featuring an approachable experience for players who just want to solve puzzles, and a rich well thought off world for those who want to learn more

Took it long enough lol. It's really good, if you like stuff like Portal, give this a try.
Definitely interested in giving this a try myself when I can now that it's coming also to Switch (also happy that it's coming to Xbox as well for those interested in playing it on that)!
Finally! I wanted this SO badly!
Getting some Gorogoa and Hindsight vibes, and that's a good thing for me.
Did... hang on, did you just port yourself to the Switch?!
Great news! But please bring a dedicated Switch 2 version. That would make it a day 1 purchase.
Played this on PC and it was delightful. I like puzzle games a lot and this was throughly entertaining. Glad it's coming to the switch for those who dont have other options!
I feel like I have to write this for every game announcement recently.
Switch 2. Mouse mode.
It's just so obvious.
Looks interesting. Not for me, but I hope other people enjoy it!
Fantastic game, if you’ve not yet played it. Hope many more people get to enjoy this unique game.
This game is nuts and you should buy it.
Good! I've had this one on my SteamDeck wishlist but would buy it in a heartbeat on Switch since that's my preferred system.
Viewfinder is a super cool puzzler, one of the coolest ideas I've seen since Portal or Superliminal so this is exciting to hear! I already own it on PS5 so I may not double dip but still great more people get to try it!
Putting that on the radar
