“Kısa ama görsel olarak oldukça etkileyici. Renk paleti ve sanat tarzı gerçekten muhteşem, oynanışı da sade ama keyifli. Hikayesi beni çok derinden etkilemese de yine de hoş bir akışı var. Genel olarak çerezlik, sakin ve oynanabilir bir oyun — kısa ama güzel bir deneyim…”

“Art in games, games in art. Behind the Frame is one of those small gems in the gaming world that doesn’t focus on a grand adventure or try to redefine game mechanics. No, this one is focused on being a cosy game with a story to tell. As an artist, this game hits close to home.…”
