We are back with our monthly Indie Showcase, where we pick one of the many recently produced gems by independent game developers and make sure it gets some well-deserved time in the sun. For May, we are taking a closer look at the award-winning… Viewfinder!
What is Viewfinder?
Viewfinder was released in July 2023, by Sad Owl Studios and Thunderful Publishing. This puzzle game challenges you to look at the problem with a whole new perspective, for you never know how the answers may look.
With your trusty instant camera in hand, you must work your way through this puzzle platformer, thinking outside of the box for the solution. Redefine and reshape reality, bending it to fit the task at hand.
Exploration is key in Viewfinder and you, the player, drive the narrative. Find the answers to the impossible and dive deep into the world building lore.

Best PCs to Play Viewfinder
While Viewfinder may boggle your mind, its specifications certainly shouldn’t. Its entirely modest requirements mean you could enjoy Viewfinder on pretty much any gaming PC or laptop out there. Still, there is something to be said about enjoying the reality-bending experience on shiny new hardware. We’ve picked out a few of our favourite computers to play Viewfinder, but you can explore our entire range of gaming PCs and laptops should they not vibe.
Refract Gaming Amber Pre-Built PC
Prepare to turn the world upside down in Viewfinder and all your favourite indie casual games, with the Refract Gaming Amber. From our pre-built PC range, this gaming computer is packed with cherry-picked hardware and is tailored for casual, 1080p gaming. Equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 7500F CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, the Amber takes advantage of the latest in gaming hardware without breaking the bank.
Plus, as a pre-built PC, it is fully assembled, tested, and ready to deliver for plug and play gaming. Cheeky bonus? It’s covered by our comprehensive three years parts and labour warranty. Although, I’m not sure warped realities are covered…
MSI Cyborg 15 Gaming Laptop
Take your puzzle platform gaming with you, thanks to the MSI Cyborg 15. This gaming laptop is powered by an Intel Core i5-12450H CPU and 16GB DDR5 RAM, delivering smooth and efficient performance whether you’re working or playing. Plus, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 and 15.6” FHD display will bring Viewfinder to life in vibrant detail. Thanks to NVIDIA MAX-Q technologies, the GPU has been optimised for working in a smaller frame with no compromise on performance.
The puzzles may make your brain sweat, but the MSI Cyborg 15 stays cool thanks to the innovative Cooler Boost thermal system. This features a shared heat pipe across the CPU and GPU, efficiently drawing heat away from both of these vital components.
OcUK Gaming Karambit Configurable PC
Power up your gameplay with the OcUK Gaming Karambit. This gaming PC harnesses the power of advanced hybrid architecture, with an Intel Core i5-14600KF CPU. The blend of P- and E-cores are intelligently managed by Intel Thread Director, ensuring the best core is always on the job! This is paired with 16GB DDR4 RAM, to keep all processes fast and efficient. What’s more, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti delivers incredible graphics for all your indie faves, rendering with realistic lighting and AI-enhanced upscaling.
The OcUK Gaming Karambit is one of our configurable gaming PCs, meaning you can adjust the base spec from a pre-selected list of hardware to better suit your needs. Customise the PC case, CPU, memory, cooler, GPU, operating system, and add up to three high-speed SSDs. Please note that any adjustments to the spec will affect the pricing.
