Developed by Matt2 · Published by Annapurna Interactive
You explore landscape environments modeled on places around the world, taking the role of a photographer on a quiet walking tour. There is no story-driven role described; the focus is on moving through each location and choosing what to observe and photograph.
Use an in-game camera with settings for focus, exposure, contrast, white balance, aperture, and burst shots. You can also adjust conditions such as light angle, fog, snow, wind, and rain to change the scene for a photo.
Locations include photo objectives and hidden items, with completing objectives used to unlock further areas. Exploration can also uncover additional cameras and tools, including a drone for aerial views and a rowboat for crossing water.
Many supplied reviewers enjoy the landscapes and the calm pace of walking around and taking photos, often highlighting the ambient music and environmental sounds. Some also value the adjustable camera as a way to experiment with composition or learn basic photography. Reactions to the objectives are mixed: some find them a useful reason to explore, while others feel photo requirements and collectibles make a relaxing stroll feel like a search task.
Experience detailed, true-to-life recreations of beautiful and diverse locations around the world. Trek through and explore environments to capture stunning vistas and landscapes with your fully-featured in-game camera. Each environment is filled with objectives to reward players that have a good eye for angles and perspectives, and hidden secrets for those who are patient and observant.
The rich atmosphere of Lushfoil Photography Sim is enhanced by an ambient, ethereal soundtrack featuring licensed music from artists around the world.
Capture the Perfect Shot
The in-game camera includes an abundance of settings that you'd expect from a real-world professional DSLR camera. The camera simulates settings such as Auto/Manual Focus, Flash, Exposure, Contrast, White Balance, Aperture, Burst Shot and other effects for full creative control over your photography. The game further provides tools that allow for manipulation of the environmental conditions for your photos, such as manual adjustment of light angles, fog, snow, wind, and rain.
Off the Beaten Path
Dive deeper into the game’s many locations to find unlockable cameras and experience the world from unique perspectives. Find a first-person drone that allows you to soar above the landscape and capture the world from above, or find a hidden rowboat that allows you to traverse still waters in pursuit of the perfect shot.
Very Efficiently Optimised
Each environment has been created in Unreal Engine 5 and is built from the ground up to be both efficiently optimized and showcase the game’s locations in stunning visual fidelity. There are extensive custom settings that will help the game run on a wide range of PCs, while taking full advantage of high-end graphics cards.
