One of the mid-year highlights of 2023 is the excellent puzzle-platformer Viewfinder. Indie developers are no stranger to the puzzle genre, as evidenced by the number of puzzle games on this list, but Viewfinder's unique mechanic of using photographs as a means to traverse between perspectives and dimensions produces some truly astounding moments, cementing it both as one of the best indie games of 2023 and one of the best indie puzzle games, period. Hype for the game was steadily generated following an excellent showing from its Steam demo, and the official 1.0 release is an impressive debut title from Sad Owl Studios.
