Framed is an interactive graphic novel from Loveshack Entertainment. Rearrange the panels of this noir-style comic book to change the order in which the action occurs. Will the spy run headlong into the police — or will he slip down a hallway, evading detection? You the player decide with panels you can drag-and-drop, rotate, and reuse.

In this interview, Framed designer and composer Adrian Moore discusses the influences that led to this unprecedented game, the role narrative plays, the different genres and game mechanics the team experimented with, and how the mobile indie market harkens back to the earlier days of his career, developing Populous at Bullfrog.
