About This Game

“It's 4 AM. Nobody really knows what happened. And it's your job to keep it that way. From behind your desk.”

The Outer Frame is a choice-driven cover-up management sim, where you double role as both detective and fixer. Because to know how to fix something, you have to know how bad it got.

You'll command a team of agents, from behind your desk, on how to achieve the perfect cover-up. 

Just send the order, they'll do the work for you.

So Interrogate, Intimidate, Vilify, Mindwipe, Labtest, Get Rid of, Commit and Inspect your way out of this one.

Your choices shape the narrative, the clock is ticking, and the media is on its way. 

Get rid of the truth before the public catches on.

Or get fired.

You will get fired. But who hasn’t lost a job before?

The Outer Frame is about information. Here your notebook is your inventory. 

Names, locations, codes, phone numbers, every piece of intel you find gets written on your notebook. 

Use found intel to issue orders, search databases, wiretap phone lines, and to enhance your crazy board.

You decide what your team should do. Send the order and await for results.

How this thing wraps up or explodes on your face is up to you.
