Lushfoil Photography Sim will let players explore real-life locations in UE5

Annapurna Interactive is set to publish a game about taking photos in beautiful landscapes around the world.

Lushfoil Photography Sim is being developed by Matt Newell, an Australian developer who specialises in creating photorealistic environments in Unreal Engine 5.

According to the game’s description, players will “trek through and explore environments to capture stunning vistas and landscapes with [their] fully-featured in-game camera.”

It adds: “Discover hidden secrets and objectives that reward patient and observant players that have a good eye for angles and perspectives.”

Promising to appeal to serious photographers too, the game will include “an abundance of settings that you’d expect from a real-world professional DSLR camera”.

These include auto/manual focus, flash, exposure, contrast, white balance, aperture, burst shot and other effects.

By exploring the locations, players will also find unlockable cameras which enable them to “experience the world from different perspectives”.

Players will be able to find a first-person drone which lets them take photos from the sky, or a hidden kayak which lets them take photos from the middle of a lake.

According to the game’s Steam page, the enivronments set to feature include:

• Lago di Braies (Italy)
• Castle Rock Beach (Australia)
• Fushimi Inari Taisha (Japan)
• Mýrdalssandur (Iceland)
• Le Prarion (France)
• Mardi Himal Trail (Nepal)
• Yamadera (Japan)
• Shengshan Island (China)

It will also include an “ambient, ethereal soundtrack” featuring licensed music from artists around the world.

Lushfoil Photography Sim is set to release on PC and consoles, with no set release date confirmed as yet.
