A prequel to the first Framed, an indie puccle game developed by Australian studio Loveshack Entertainment.

He has no choice, but to clear his name before he gets caught by real criminals or the police.
Framed 2 is a puzzle game for AND and iOS inspired by hardboiled comics. It is a work of Loveshack Entertainment studio, which also created the first entry in the series
Plot
The story of AND and iOS’s version of Framed 2 is a prequel to the first game. We leave the United States and go to one of the Asian cities. The protagonist is framed into a crime he did not commit and must prove his innocence, before he gets caught by police or real criminals.
Game mechanics
Framed 2 for AND and iOS is an unusual puzzle game, expanding on its predecessor. The campaign consists of a series of boards, with our objective being getting the hero from start to finish. What makes it interesting is that boards resemble comics, so we must manipulate panels to change the story and make sure the protagonist gets out of the troubles unscathed.
Finding the correct setup takes some time, which lets us see alternate versions of events that end with hero’s demise. However, each of them also provides tips that help us find the solution.
Technical aspects
One of the strongest features of Framed 2 is its audiovisual quality. The game offers unique comic style and successfully creates the atmosphere of a hardboiled novel – the result is quite unique.
