About This Game

In the small town of Dim River, Henri wakes up in the middle of the night to a sudden and loud noise. A strange metal cabinet has fallen through the ceiling from the apartment above, effectively blocking his front door. The night life of the town goes on, oblivious to Henri's struggles as he tries to solve his predicament, perhaps not completely on his own.

The night is going to be long and peculiar...

Blank Frame focuses on atmosphere and story instead of constantly startling the player with cheap and unnecessary jump scares. Blank Frame is meant mainly for fans of slow paced surreal/psychological horror games and films.

The night will take the average player about an hour and a half to two hours to play through on your first attempt and is meant to be played entirely in one sitting. Two different endings can be achieved depending on how you go through the game.

Game play is a combination of point and click and walking simulators with a dark and psychological tone. However, it is possible to die in this game. Thankfully chances to die are rare and can be avoided fairly easily so deaths do not feel cheap.

In Blank Frame you will...

Experience a dark and winding story line, always unsure of what is coming next.

Solve various puzzles that Henri faces to find his way out of predicaments.

Face one of two endings based on your choices during this 1 1/2 to 2 hour long experience.

Can I get a sequel please, but let it be outside of my apartment this time? Can we go to the Grill place? Maybe instead of dream demons we have demons of being lonely that we overcome. By the way,..game of the year.

A quick game with heavy themes of loneliness, isolation, connection, suicide, and emptiness with clear artistic and environmental inspiration taken from Silent Hill. Pros: Sound design is great Music fits the atmosphere well and its well made Environments feel natural despite pretty much being limited to an apartment The tv shows connect interestingly with the themes It shows accurate depictions of isolation, longing, and loneliness I loved the surreal elements of the game, such curtains being sewn together. Cons: Unclear progression. At multiple points you will find yourself having to just click random things in order to move the game along and there really could have been a better direction from the game to let you know what you need to do next. This does happen but I hit multiple walls playing this and had to rely on a guide. Dialogue is written a bit clunky and doesn't really feel natural At one point the main character just throws a bloody knife out the window? Why? W...
