It’s National Geographic Day (January 27th) and if you don’t want to get outside to take pictures, why not stay in and play cozy photography games instead?

These games span a wide range of wildlife photography subjects. In one, you’ll adventure through the Amazon rainforest, taking pictures of insects and flora. In another, you’ll explore an island overflowing with wildlife of all types to photograph. The last takes you into the magical realm of your imagination, where you’ll photograph whimsical creatures.

We do our best not to highlight games that use Generative AI at any level of development or marketing. At the time of posting, these games have not reported or disclosed using Gen AI. Likewise, all articles are written and edited by humans… as evidenced by our occasional errors.
