Frame by Frame: A Cinematic Puzzle Adventure

Frame by Frame is an award-winning 2.5D puzzle-platformer for PC that draws players into the art of film restoration while unveiling the lost stories of Italian cinema from the 1910s. As you discover a fictional documentary, your journey begins with an unexpected challenge: the footage is damaged, and you must step inside the film reel to repair it. This journey merges puzzle-solving with the historical narrative of filmmaking, creating a truly engaging experience.

Navigating the Layers of Film Restoration

In Frame by Frame, each level serves as a hands-on restoration project, blending environmental challenges with nostalgic storytelling. As you navigate various platforming sections, your actions serve as a temporal marker, controlling the film’s progression on the moviola monitor. Successfully restoring the film means not only piecing together broken splices but also addressing secondary damage like scratches, dirt, and dust, all while interacting with the cinematic environment.
