Some things can only be seen from where they were meant to be seen. Vantage is a hidden-object game unlike the flat painted scenes you know — here, the camera IS the puzzle. Every level is a handcrafted 3D diorama you rotate, tilt, and zoom with your thumb. Objects don't just hide behind clutter. They hide behind perspective, light, and time. You play a restorer of fading memories. Each chapter is a real place someone is about to forget — a house on Linden Lane, a 1974 diner, a storm-battered lighthouse, a restorer's atelier, a photographer's studio, a harbourmaster's office. Find every object and the memory comes back to life in a short, hand-told vignette. A cat you'll come to know is always somewhere in the room. HOW THINGS HIDE IN 3D • Anamorphic finds — an object shattered into fragments across the walls and floor, whole again only from the exact right angle, like street art • Light & shadow — grab the lamp and move it; some things appear only when their shadow falls just so • The time dial — turn a room between past and present; some objects live in only one era • Reach in — open drawers, lift cushions, tip a stack with a flick • Silhouette clues — sometimes the list gives you only an outline, and you reason out the shape SEVEN CHAPTERS, ONE STORY The House on Linden Lane · The Meridian Diner · Saltwick Light · The Atelier · The Cat's Client · The Photographer · The Harbormaster. You inherit the craft, then take commissions of your own. Clues hide inside other objects — read the room, not just the list. MADE TO BE FELT • Handcrafted low-poly dioramas, warm and unhurried • A gentle score and reactive sound • Play at your pace — no timers unless you want them • Hints when you're stuck, never nagging FREE TO PLAY, FAIR BY DESIGN Vantage is free with ads. One-time Supporter Pack removes ads forever and says thanks. No energy timers, no paywalls between you and the next room. Turn the room. Change where you stand. Watch it appear.
