While this is an absolutely gorgeous game, with beautiful animations and art. It kinda lacks a bit in the game department, so if you are just looking for a casual puzzle-esque experience with some gorgeous visuals, this is certainly the game for you, and i recommend it wholeheartly but if you wanted a bit more like me, maybe get it on sale. It's very short, though i didn't get the dlc so no idea how long that would add to the playtime. Biggest gripe i had besides the length is the slowness of the text. Like the game thinks it takes me 5 min to read a 10 word sentence... Let me go through the dialogue in my own pace please. I know it's supposed to be profound and relaxing, but it just gets irritating and makes me stress out over if the game is bugged or if im doing something wrong. Also please let me figure out the puzzles on my own and stop handholding. It's the only gameplay there is besides painting stuff even though you can't paint outside the lines. So it's just coloring book for dummies. I am being harsh but these are just my feelings, and i wont say i didn't enjoy my time, it was very pretty to look at and listen to, the story and themes were all very nice and the gameplay had some good moments.

Me when starting the game: Yay, cozy painting game! Me by the end: Oh. Everything about this game is wonderful (art, music, story...), but definitely expect some feels.

wew approved? Mmhmm! (cats alert!) Behind the Frame is a beautiful narrative game with simple puzzles to solve. Do take note that BtF is very story driven - meaning there will be more reading than playing. Gameplay wise, it is mostly point and click. I think a lot of us who played the game can agree that the art style and even the animation style is heavily inspired by Ghibli, and I think they nailed it! I really love the Ghibli and watercolour art style. The game is truly an art piece, I’d recommend playing it on a high resolution screen to truly experience and appreciate the art. My whole experience with this game is honestly very mundane and relaxing, I think that it is perfect for cozy gamers. Do keep in mind that there are A LOT of missable achievements if you’re planning to 100% the game. The game may come off as slow and repetitive to some, so keep that in mind too! The story is honestly beautiful and needs to be experienced firsthand, so do not spoil yourself. I love how as you progresses the game, everything slowly comes together, revealing a beautiful backstory (especially with the new free DLC). Overall, the game is definitely enjoyable and relaxing (I played the game in my own pace and comfort). However, I have to admit that for the price, it is a bit too short. It took me approximately 2 hours to complete the game (even though I took my time admiring the art and 100% the game). Which is why I recommend getting the game only during sale. 7/10! PS: I played it on the Steam Deck, and it is playable I guess? I need to use the touchscreen most of the time (because it’s point and click), and sometimes the game does get stuck and I need to restart. Hence why, I think it’s best to just play it on the PC instead.

Let's paint the finest scenery. Shall we, Amber? This game has a story so good that even though I got it for free on epic games, I had to go buy it on steam to show my support. Also, it's a nice touch that it's free there on January 23rd, it's very fitting. If you are seeing this review before January 30th, 2025 go get it for free now!

This review is a little spoiler-ish, but it's the kind of spoilers that save lives. ======================================= Man, this ends up really underwhelming This game starts as a really charming and gorgeous little slice of life tale. Then, something weird happens right in chapter one, I shrugged and wrote it of as a videogamey shenanigans. Then, weird things continue to happen little by little and I began the bargaining stage. They can't. They can't dissolve the whole thing into this tired-аss hackery? Right?! But they could. And they did. This game has Indie_Developer_Profound_Psychological_Narrative syndrome if you know what I mean. It becomes Layers of Fear-y. Thank god it's not quite Bloober team groanworthy but it's getting there. So, then the emotional ending happens, beautiful music plays and I feel none of it. I'm mostly just annoyed. This could've be something special. Instead you can just throw it into the pile. What a shame. Still pretty tho.
