About This Game

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.

About Me

My name is Matt, I'm from Perth in West Australia and I've been working on this project solo for about 6 years (as of April 2025). As an avid hiker and photographer I hope you're able to appreciate the atmosphere and details I have tried to encapsulate in these environments. I sincerely hope you have a great experience :')

Beautiful graphics and a very relaxing atmosphere, perfect for short breaks. The hidden-object gameplay isn’t really my thing, but VR support would make this an absolute gem. Lovely soundtrack and intuitive controls — definitely worth checking out if you enjoy cozy, artistic games.

素晴らしい風景に没入でき、大変素晴らしいと思います。カメラの設定を調整したり、解像度を上げることにより、とてもきれいな写真が撮れます。 ユーチューブ動画や絵の背景に使いたくなります。 『Lushfoil Photography Sim』で撮影した画像、キャプチャーした動画の使用や二次加工に関する利用規約について、わかっている方がいらっしゃいましたら、教えてください。 I think it's wonderful because you can immerse yourself in the beautiful scenery. By adjusting the camera settings and increasing the resolution, you can take beautiful photos. I'd love to use them as backgrounds for YouTube videos or paintings. If anyone knows the terms of use regarding the use and secondary processing of images and captured videos taken with "Lushfoil Photography Sim," please let me know.

Lushfoil Photography Sim offers a uniquely tranquil and immersive experience that stands apart from the typical game roster on Steam. As a photography simulation game, it invites players to explore meticulously crafted natural environments with the sole purpose of capturing stunning visuals through their in-game camera lens. This focus on artistry and observation creates a soothing, meditative gameplay loop where patience and attention to detail are rewarded. Unlike fast-paced action or complex puzzles, Lushfoil prioritizes the contemplative act of photographing wildlife and landscapes, making it an excellent choice for players seeking a calming yet engaging escape into digital nature. The core of the experience revolves around exploring a variety of lush, beautifully rendered biomes—forests, wetlands, rocky coasts, and more—each teeming with diverse flora and fauna. The level of detail in these environments is impressive, with dynamic lighting, realistic weather effects, and care...

This game is 110% worth it. The soundtrack is perfect and the actual in game quests are educational and exploratory. Although I'll prolly just have the scenery on while I'm Away From Keyboard at my day job or volunteering at the ranch. This game exceeds expectations! 11/10

Visual masterpiece. And a good way to learn photography without needing a fancy DSLR.

Looks great, well paced, reasonably flexible and findable goals. Good variety of activities and special things to find strewn about. *Update after finishing it: ends well, too. My only mild complaint/note is I missed until very late in the game how to use the GPS. I assumed it wouldn't do any good until I found coordinates somewhere. It turned out the somewhere with coordinates was elsewhere on the screen.

This doesn't capture the feel of photography. The DSLR just doesn't feel like the real thing. For a photography game it is visually ugly. It tries to capture the photo realistic aesthetics but don't get close to it. Unreal Engine 5 was a poor choice because it did a lot to decrease performance and not much to improve visuals. You get next-gen lighting and with it lots of artifacts, blurriness, discontinuities, lack of fluidity, and weird stuff that games made on older engines just don't have. And an indie production like this couldn't handle those issues and just shipped the game poorly polished and optimized. I'd rather have simple but beautiful and stunning graphics like in Firewatch. UI is awful. It starts with most locations locked and you have to play "hidden object" to unlock them. :facepalm:

I've only just started with this, but immediately: this is lovely. The VR expansion is going to be stunning based on what I'm seeing here, but it's ridiculously pretty in 4k ultrawide. The music is perfectly pitched: unobtrusive, but characterful. I really like the world design, not just how it looks but how the exploration is done. There are branching paths to find items and locations, but off the beaten track there are also boxes hidden in the trees which unlock new locations. I only had time to play the first 30 minutes right now, but there's no way this somehow becomes bad (unless there's a sudden difficulty spike during a boss fight versus David Bailey). Only complaint: crouching and standing seem to be the same thing, only crouching has slower movement? Maybe there's something I've missed there.

I don't understand why a photography game could being that hard to pass the level of any single map, but anyways this is a good game, maybe just not my type
