Epic Games Store has released its new free game, Behind the Frame, available until January 30 at 5:00 PM. This title, presented as an interactive fiction, offers players the opportunity to experience the life of an artist struggling to complete her masterpiece for her upcoming exhibition.
A Game Greatly Inspired by Studio Ghibli
Inspired by the aesthetics of Japanese animation and particularly the designs of the acclaimed Hayao Miyazaki and the iconic Studio Ghibli, Behind the Frame stands out for its visually captivating and evocative soundtrack. From beautiful hand-drawn animations to a world full of vibrant colors, the game aims to immerse players in a relaxing and rewarding environment.
The game mechanics require players to search for lost colors to bring the protagonist’s paintings to life, who also faces the everyday responsibilities of her life. They will need to take breaks for activities like having breakfast, drinking coffee, and resting, which adds a human element to the creative process. Additionally, players will have the task of unraveling hidden secrets within the artworks, adding a component of exploration and discovery to the game.
As the video game industry evolves, there is an increase in titles that prioritize narrative experiences over frenetic action. Behind the Frame aligns with this trend, offering a moment of reflection and tranquility amidst a game offering that often focuses on more popular genres like roguelikes or shooters. This artistic and contemplative approach could be a pleasant respite for those seeking something different.
Don’t forget to redeem it before it expires, and make sure you have a suitable monitor that allows you to fully enjoy its impressive graphic design.
