Through The Lens


About this game

Through the Lens is an atmospheric, 3D first-person, narrative-focused exploration puzzle game with the intent to nurture curiosity in an abandoned city. The player is challenged to match their surroundings to the photos within their album and find the location they were taken from. Their reward for following the narrative progression that comes with the photo's past is cherished yet lost items from the main character's family, and with it a clearer understanding of the lives they lived when this city was their home.
