About the Game
Behind the Frame is a vivid, interactive fiction about an aspiring artist on the cusp of finishing the final piece of her gallery submission.
A relaxing, eloquent experience that can be played at any pace. Become immersed in a panoramic world filled with resplendent colors, beautiful hand-animated visuals, and a smooth, easy-listening soundtrack.
As a passionate artist, seek the missing colors that will bring your paintings to life - all while remembering to take the occasional coffee and breakfast breaks that keep you going. There is more than what meets the eye, for every painting has a story to tell.

Hey, painters!
I come bearing updates for Behind the Frame! We’ve been tracking a ton of issues that folks have been reporting in the new update and we’ve got a bunch of fixes coming for folks. I’ve also seen a few common problems cropping up here and there that I’d like to broadcast some help for.
But I would like to relay an exceptionally large “Thank You!” from everyone at Silver Lining and Akupara Games. We have loved hearing how much everyone is enjoying the new DLC and it’s really humbling to see so many folks really with our game.
Without further ado:
A new story with new paintings and a new orange cat!
For those who haven’t tuned in, The Jack Chapters are now live as a piece of free additional content for Behind the Frame. One of the first things we heard from many players when they finished the game in 2021 was how intriguing the world and story of Behind the Frame was. They wanted to know more, to explore more, to paint more and to solve more puzzles. So, now that it’s almost a year later, we’re happy to provide.
If you’ve completed the game and have your save file, you can jump into this new content immediately after making sure you’ve updated to the latest version!
As an aside, we’ve also brought Behind the Frame to two new platforms in the Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4, so if you’re looking to re-experience the game on console, feel free to find us on either of those storefronts.
Some save data corruption points have been resolved. If you have corrupted save data and would like a replacement save, please check out the FAQ below!
The DLC button itself has been made more prominent
A multitude of minor bug fixes affecting niche scenarios.
I’ve also been reading some of the common problems that have cropped up since we launched the DLC. I just wanted to help make sure folks can play, so here are some answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
If you have the game updated and have completed all chapters of the base game, a small placard with the name “Jack” will populate under the left side of the screen. Hit that to access the new content!
I have one for you here!
On Windows, you can find your Behind the Frame folder in this location: %AppData\LocalLow\Silver Lining Studio\Behind the Frame
We sometimes hear that the cutscenes aren’t triggering correctly for some players. A quick fix to this problem (especially on the Steam Deck) is to change the video codec in the settings menu. Changing from H.264 to VP8 tends to solve this.
If there are any other questions or concerns, please feel free to leave a comment down below and I’ll be excited to see more.

Hey, artists!
We're dropping a ton of news all at once! We're releasing the Behind the Frame art book, bundling it with the game and soundtrack, updating the game and putting out trading cards today. Here are the details!
Today, we're so excited to show off the Behind the Frame art book which includes detailed insights into the art, style and animation of Behind the Frame. So much feedback from players has been about the game's beautiful design so the artbook is now available to share a little piece of that with you today.
If you'd like to pick up everything Behind the Frame in one big bundle, I'd recommend clicking this link. It includes the art book, soundtrack and the game!
Alongside the release of the art book, we have also set Behind the Frame trading cards live! There are now eight collectable (non-spoiler) cards that players who played should immediately receive and players in the future will receive. If you'd like to trade, head to the Steam Forums and try to find some matches!
For those of you that have been paying close attention to Behind the Frame the past few weeks, you'll have seen a number of patches hit to take care of problems cropping up. While we'd have loved the game to play flawlessly on every computer out there, the realities of indie game development sometimes mean we need to quickly and decisively react to issues that crop up. Thankfully, after the last few weeks of rapid patching, that process has drawn to a close.
We'll still be updating the game and addressing bugs as they make it to us but the lion's share of major issues affecting Behind the Frame and its demo have been resolved. If you have any problems playing the game, feel free to post in the official discussion forums and I'd be happy to follow up with you!
--------------------------------------------------------------
That bring us to the end of the major announcements. Launching Behind the Frame has been an absolute treat and one of my favorite games to work on. Thank you so much for making the game a success!
