Trying to define what a 'Cozy' game is can be tricky but I feel it can fall under several main terms. Gameplay where you don't feel overly under pressure. No threats present, no timers, nothing to stress in any way shape or form. Another is through calming visuals, sounds and overall plotting.

Behind the Frame excels at all of these, weaving a tale about artistic expression, relationships and memories, all packaged together with a charmingly serene soundtrack and a ghibli-esque sense of wonder and spirit. It all leads to an hour or so of soothing light puzzling and storytelling.

That said, I did mention 'An Hour'. If you want something more substantive, you may want to look elsewhere as while the game is indeed charming, it never quite manages to hit the big emotional notes, nor does it often manage to connect its puzzles and plot in a manner that feels fulfilling.

It is still a charming game and I dont regret my time with it one bit but I do feel it could have done a little bit more to really make the more emotional moments sing.
