The Epic Games Store has officially revealed Viewfinder as its free game for the December 29–30 period. This marks the 13th title of the storefront's 2025 holiday giveaway, as well as the 16th overall freebie that Epic Games Store users have been able to claim since the turn of December.
The Fortnite maker's digital marketplace gave away over $360 worth of PC titles between December 11 and 28. The two most recent freebies available to Epic Games Store users were Pokemon-like RPG Cassette Beasts and modern retro-style CRPG SKALD: Against the Black Priory, both published by Stockholm, Sweden-based Raw Fury.

A Brief Intro to Viewfinder, Epic's December 29 Freebie
Created by Scottish developer Sad Owl Studios, Viewfinder is a minimalist puzzle platformer that tasks players with traversing compact but increasingly complex levels. Its central mechanic involves manipulating perspective by aligning 2D photographs with the 3D environment in order to transform the former into tangible geometry used to progress. This spatial puzzle design is reminiscent of Valve's Portal series, particularly after the opening stages, when players need to start taking their own photographs rather than relying on pre-existing ones.
Viewfinder launched in July 2023 to largely positive review buzz, as underlined by its "Strong" rating on OpenCritic, with an average score of 83 and a 90% recommendation rate. The minimalist puzzler also holds "Very Positive" reviews on Steam, based on over 5,400 player impressions.

EGS 2025 Holiday Giveaway Stats as of December 29
- Total games given away: 13
- Total value of games: $387.87
- Average game value: $29.84
- Average game OpenCritic score: 80.3
Viewfinder marks the 89th title that EGS users have been able to claim since the beginning of 2025. Within the context of the Epic Games Store's ongoing holiday season giveaway, it is the 13th freebie, with only two more being planned to debut by year's end. While the December 30 offering may be another indie release similar to Viewfinder, past patterns suggest Epic could round off the year with a higher-profile title in the vein of The Callisto Protocol and Hogwarts Legacy, which were already featured on December 24 and 11, respectively.
