LOS ANGELES, CA - June 2, 2022 - Publisher Akupara Games, alongside co-publisher Akatsuki Taiwan, announced today the release of Taiwanese developer Silver Lining Studio’s critically-acclaimed and award-winning Behind the Frame on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. Released originally on PC and mobile platforms last August and praised for its art style and emotional story, Behind the Frame’s console versions leverage each respective hardware to foster a more tactile experience for players. Additionally, players on any platform, including PC and mobile, can access an all-new side story unlocked after the completion of the main game. 
 
“Through the new console releases, we wanted to ensure Behind the Frame received treatment that made playing it a new experience - one that felt engaging and natural,” said Dean Razavi, Senior Producer at Akupara Games and Technical Lead on the console ports. “Rather than just wiggling a thumbpad back and forth to add strokes of paint, we wanted to bring the paint directly to the hands of new players eager to jump into the world and its story.”

Behind the Frame is about longing, dream-pursuing, and those little things that piece together our life and define who we are,” shared Weichen Lin, Art Director of Behind the Frame. “We hope everyone will see the world a little differently after seeing through our painters’ eyes.” 
 
Features: 

  • Step into a new painter’s artistic adventure - awaiting those who complete the main story

  • Paint, sketch, and retouch your artwork to complete your masterpiece and your memories using the Joy-ConTM or DUALSHOCK® controller, or paint with your fingers using the Switch screen or PlayStation controller touchpad

  • Dive into and explore beautiful panoramic, hand-animated worlds inspired by Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli visuals

  • Experience an evocative story, through the eye of a passionate artist

 
Winner of “Best Overall Game” at the Asia Game Awards and “Best Mobile Game” at DevGamm! Behind the Frame has continued to soar in the eyes of critics and players. Recent prestigious nominations: “Excellence in Visual Art” from the Independent Games Festival, “Mobile Game of The Year'' at the D.I.C.E Awards, and “Best Art Direction and Artistic Achievement” from MEGAMIGS Awards.
