Experience Life of Nature Photographer in This Tranquil Simulator

Lushfoil Photography Sim has a demo now.

Not being able to travel freely shouldn't stop you from experiencing the beauty of the world around you. Lush forests, snowy mountains, and calm seas are waiting for you in Lushfoil Photography Sim, an upcoming relaxing simulator where you step into the shoes of a nature photographer, now available as a demo.

Developer and photographer Matt Newell spent countless hours recreating incredible locations around the world so you can capture their beauty with a fully-featured in-game camera. This is a tranquil experience but it's not aimless: each environment has objectives and secrets to make your exploration more focused – all accompanied by an ethereal soundtrack.

"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."

The stunning landscapes were created lovingly in Unreal Engine 5. Newell has been working on the game for over 4 years, and now you can try it out in a demo on Steam.
