Description

FRAMED is a multi-award winning noir puzzle game, where you re-arrange panels of a comic book to change the outcome of the story.

History

FRAMED began as a thought experiment. Rather than play with a set of actions like you normally would in a game (run, jump, shoot), we asked: what would happen if you played with the *context* an action happened in instead? FRAMED emerged out of this idea. Fast-forward two years and more than 25 awards and accolades later, and FRAMED is set to apply that same design of 'Change the order, Change the outcome' to the overall narrative; resulting in a context-sensitive narrative where every action is framed by the last.
