This is a short game that I would absolutely recommend on sale. I didn't get it on sale, but I'm not even mad about it, because it gave me an outlet for some catharsis, which is priceless to me. It's not clear upon purchase that there's DLC included with it - which becomes available after completing the main story, (restart the game and look to the bottom left of the screen, where there'll be a new clickable) which gives an additional perspective, as well as some much needed additional length - had it not been included I might have felt a little short changed. I can't say I didn't sob my way through most of the last chapter of the main game and the entirety of the DLC.... The story is emotional and touching - with plenty of room for interpretation and imagination, and the perspective change for the additional chapter makes it all the more tinged with sadness as you get deeper into the entwined story. The puzzles do not get in the way of the plot at all, though a couple did require some hard thought, I'd say don't rush the game, take your time, and enjoy the *beautiful* hand-drawn art and soundtrack. Even at full price it costs less than a cinema ticket, and so if you view it as an interactive novel rather than a game, is well worth it. Just maybe have some tissues on standby.

Sobbed so hard at the end. Its so heart-breaking in a good way. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a wholesome story of mystery, puzzle and an incredible story line. I've played this multiple times but it always makes me cry. Quality is amazing. Please make this more popular!!

Aspiring artist solves puzzles in interactive Ghibli movie x escape room game What the game lacks in puzzle challenge and playtime, it makes up for in atmosphere. It's a warm, melancholic story accompanied by gorgeous animations and a masterful piano & string soundtrack. Played best while drinking hot cocoa.

Living Canvases, Living Feelings Behind the Frame is not just a game, but a small work of art. Its atmosphere is crafted from everything — the visual style, the music, and the storytelling. The visual side deserves special attention. The art style is soft, with warm and calm tones, and every scene seems to come alive thanks to smooth animation. The soundtrack fits perfectly into the overall mood. Gentle melodies create a sense of comfort and tranquility, harmoniously emphasize key story moments, and help the player feel the narrative more deeply. The story itself is touching, at times philosophical. It is easy to follow, yet it leaves room for reflection and emotion. Once the game is over, there remains not only a sense of peace but also a subtle note of sadness and longing. The gameplay is minimalist and serves the narrative. This is more of an interactive experience than a classic game, and it should be noted that the playtime is rather short — less than two hours. However, the game feels complete and never overstays its welcome. In the end, Behind the Frame is a warm, emotional experience that should be played by anyone who appreciates beautiful projects, meditative atmospheres, and heartfelt stories.

Aug. 2025

Behind the Frame is a subtle and evocative tale that explores the lives of two artists, their relationship and what inspires them to create. The short experience is made memorable by the high-quality animations and the mood setting melodies. Puzzles may be easy, but it’s clear they are intended to be vectors to experience the story, rather than hindrances. A perfect game to unwind with your drink of choice and get lost in.
