The Epic Games Store has launched its third final free game giveaway for 2025, offering the award-winning indie title Viewfinder at no cost. This puzzle platformer, available for just 24 hours, highlights the platform's holiday tradition of mystery freebies. Players can claim it until December 30, 2025, at 16:00 UTC.
Epic Games Store's holiday promotions continue with the reveal of Viewfinder as the free game for December 29, 2025. This marks the thirteenth mystery offering in the Christmas season series and the third final giveaway for the year. Developed by Sad Owl Studios and released in 2023, Viewfinder is a first-person puzzle game that stands out for its innovative mechanics, allowing players to reshape environments using photographs.
The game's rewind system promotes creative experimentation, while its hand-drawn art style and sound design have earned widespread acclaim. Controls are straightforward, with full support for controllers like the Xbox One. However, some players note the story's brevity and the relative ease of certain puzzles, which may disappoint those seeking more challenge. The sci-fi narrative, though intriguing, features lightly developed characters and plot.
Viewfinder boasts a strong reception, holding a 92% positive rating on Steam based on over 5,400 reviews. It has secured multiple awards, including honors from The Game Awards, IndieCade Festival, The Golden Joysticks, and BAFTA. Normally priced at $24.99, this 24-hour window provides a rare chance to acquire the critically praised indie title for free, expiring on December 30, 2025, at 16:00 UTC, when the next giveaway will be announced.
