Framed Collection

Description

The FRAMED Collection is a compilation of the critically-acclaimed, multi-award winning noir puzzle games FRAMED and FRAMED 2.

Featuring a fusion of unique game mechanics and clever narrative puzzles in a noir tale of stylish heists, fast getaways and nail-biting escapades, FRAMED and FRAMED 2 has players rearranging the panels of an animated comic book to alter the order of events and change the outcome from disaster to success.

A winner of multiple game awards, and a finalist of IGF 2015’s “Excellence in Design” Award, Hideo Kojima named FRAMED his Game of the Year in 2014. Building on the original, ground-breaking mechanics, and serving as a prequel, FRAMED 2 was released in 2017 and was highly praised by press and fans alike, receiving dozens of awards, including being listed on both the Apple AppStore and Google Play store as one of the best games of 2017.

With multi-award winning puzzle design, stylish hand crafted art and animation, and an original live jazz soundtrack, the FRAMED Collection will be published on Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac and Linux by indie label Surprise Attack Games.

History

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER: LOVESHACK ENTERTAINMENT

If you can name the genre of one of Loveshack Entertainment's games (without making something up), then chances are it’s not a Loveshack game!

Australian-based, the studio was founded in 2013 by long-term industry friends and colleagues–-Joshua Boggs (Designer, Programmer), Ollie Browne (Designer, Artist), Stu Lloyd (Designer, Animator) and Adrian Moore (Designer, Composer).

The studio’s first release was the 2014 award-winning noir puzzle game, FRAMED. Critically lauded-–and named by Metal Gear Solid’s Hideo Kojima as his Game of the Year–-FRAMED created a revolutionary mechanic where players rearranged the panels of an animated comic book to craft the story of a noir-styled spy adventure.

Building on that elegant mechanic, and serving as a prequel, FRAMED 2 was released in 2017 and was highly praised by press and fans alike, receiving dozens of awards, including being listed on both the Apple AppStore and Google Play store as one of the best games of 2017.

Loveshack’s FRAMED Collection comprises both FRAMED and FRAMED 2 and is available on May 17 on PC and Nintendo Switch with platform-specific UI and features.
