FRAMED Collection

Gets good reviews and for a casual puzzle gamer it might appeal to you. For me I found it to slow and boring unfortunately but everyone to there own. Thumbs up for what they are trying to do but not for me.

The most confusing part about this game wasn't the story and its twists, nor was it the gameplay, it was the fact that the Australian government was credited as one of the producing companies

Good stuff, noir good

Really fun and intriguing puzzle game!

switcheroooo

too hard for my small peanut brain, 10/10

Reinstalled the game recently,but won't load. Used to work just fine.

I read a comic book and played a video game at the same time. While playing the game, I kept wondering about the next panel.
[spoiler]I watched the last scenes with my mouth agape. I never expected it to end in such a way.[spoiler]

Nice puzzle game where we have to organize the boxes of a comic to help the protagonist to save his life. Very fun, even if this mechanic is a little limitated, and becomes boring and frustrating in the second part.

Very stylish puzzle game that can keep you occupied for a few hours. Nothing groundbreaking in terms of gameplay but well executed and excellent presentation. If you like what you see on the screenshots then get it while it's on sale (or wait until it's on sale again)

Fun puzzle game with very beautiful sound design.

interesting game

童年回忆 和纪念碑谷一起玩的

A lighthearted, fun, short, super polished game, and it's pretty cheap! Don't expect a very deep or moving story; it is mostly an excuse to play some entertaining puzzles. Those of which are very light. They won't kidnap you for an eternity, at most it will take you 10 minutes to pass the harder puzzles. Very charming visuals, of course. It's impressive all the twist they gave to a single mechanic, so creative! All the animated failure states in the game give the impression of a very meticulous team and the game feels more complete thanks to that.

A very fun and unique puzzle game. 9/10

Framed 1 & 2 are clever puzzle games where you change the order or rotation of comic book-like panels in order to help a spy character evade police and escape the scene.


P.S.
In case you're looking to get all Framed Collection achievements and cannot earn the "Standing Ovation" one (fully watch both games' end credits), then here's a hint by DuelistKoi93 that I found on Framed Steam Community page Discussions:

" - - - Game crashes after finishing first FRAMED [FIXED]
If there's an achivement for finishing the first one, I can't get it. It crashes right after displaying FRAMED logo.
EDIT: I fixed it by browsing to local .exe file and setting it to run in winXP compatibility."

relaxing on the eyes

Excellent, very unique and addictive.

Nice to know that the Chicago police showed these devs how observant they are for reference. The realism is a 10/10 for me.

Ported mobile game. Interesting concept and good BGM. Chill to play. Recommended.

FRAMED Collectionis a good game. Rearrange the panels of an animated comic book to craft the story of a noir-styled spy adventure. The graphics are great and the ambiant is so cool. I recommend it!!! 🖤🖤🖤

I liked the type of secrets as well as the new mechanics.

I payed 2 euros for it. The game was fun sometimes hard, the soundtrack was good. Overall very good

the game is relaxing to me
Short but enjoyable
it doesn't overextend it's stay

controls are pretty simple, I like the art direction, it fits the game

definitely a recommend (found this randomly on steamdb)

An interesting puzzle game with a "film noir" ambiance and a very good soundtrack that matches the action quite well. Well worth it if you're a fan of either genre, even better if you like both.

I remember always playing the first game in 2015 on my Ipad while watching that Ihascupquake person I think their name was

I only just noticed that this game was on steam and I had to get it because of that and also since I never touched the sequel.

It was very nostalgic to re-beat the first game and 100%"ing this was pretty fun, I would recommend

Framed 2 is new. I only remember playing 1 when I was young and it was impressive for me at that time. 2 is good too. Achievements easy to get - you can select levels

.

This is definitely a game you play for the style more than anything else. It's short and straightforward, and you can easily completely clear both games in one sitting. As a puzzle game it's not particularly complex outside of a few of the trickier levels, and these harder puzzles are difficult in both good and bad ways; the better ones nail the feeling of unravelling the interactions between the elements you're given until everything clicks cleanly into place, but there were 1 or 2 levels that just didn't do a great job of communicating how things will work and solving them ultimately just required brute force trial-and-error. The game makes up for its uncomplicated gameplay with its charm though. The visual style and music are excellent, especially in the 2nd game, and as a cheap single session experience it's well worth your time and money

Stylish puzzle game

Great game

Entertaining puzzle game to waste some time in a fun way. Well worth its price.

The game has an interesting mechanics and gameplay was quite fresh and fun for me. I also like the graphic design and difficulty setting was okay in that it wasn't too difficult but still required some thinking while I was playing it. It's a shame the dev did not put out another sequel in the series.

FRAMED Collection is unlike any puzzle game I've ever played. The comic book style is simply stunning, and the way you rearrange the frames to change the story is pure genius. It feels like you're directing a noir film, and every time you solve a puzzle, it's incredibly satisfying. The jazz soundtrack sets the perfect mood, and the narrative, though minimal, keeps you hooked from start to finish. If you're looking for something fresh, stylish, and clever, this is the game for you!

I was framed! Noir/10

A very unique game. At its core, the levels comprise flow simulations where you guide an object to a destination without encountering obstacles, but it's presented in the form of pages of a comic book. Most of the puzzles are easy, except two or three towards the end of part 2.

Best Game Ever! How this could hide before me for so many years is a mystery. But there is such a genius in design, which I have not yet seen EVER. Absolutely a must play.

Two fun puzzle games tied together both by plot and mechanics. The "interactive comic panel" design is immediately enjoyable and grows to be somewhat challenging.

Late-game puzzles tend to devolve into brute force trial and error, but those slight frustrations are quickly smoothed over by the "oh, of course" realizations when you feel a puzzle snap into place.

Excellent Steam Deck title!

loved the music design and the concept :)
