Dark_art_: This game reminds me a lot of Perspective.

They play very differently, Perspective is, in the end, a puzzle platformer where the point you are jumoing between 2D and 3D. Viewfinder is much more a puzzle game where you manipulate and transform the 3D space
Looks neat, wishlisted. As someone mentioned earlier, a trailer would have been nice. But the game page does shows a tiny bit of some animated scenes a bit further down.

Thanks to Sad Owl Studios / Thunderful Publishing for releasing the game here and at a very nice discount. Also, thanks to the GOG team for their efforts. :)

People are missing a trailer. I do not want to link to any gameplay videos, because it is a puzzle game and the main aim of this game is to discover how things work for yourself. However:

Here is the official game trailer:

From the little I saw about Viewfinder, the concept seem pretty much the same. The player use perspective in order to solve puzzles.
I'm not saying Viewfinder is a clone of Perspective but seems to draw a lot of inspiration from.

I think Viewfinder and Perspective are too different to say one was inspired by the other. Sure, they both deal with perspective and manipulating space, but that’s where the similarities end. There are plenty of other games that play with perspective, like Superliminal, Monument Valley, or echochrome, but that doesn’t mean they were all influenced by Perspective. If I remember correctly, the developers of Viewfinder have said their main influences were Portal, The Witness, and The Talos Principle - none of which are particularly focused on perspective puzzles.
This looks like a complete trip.
