About This Game
Dual role as detective and fixer, commanding the perfect cover-up from your desk. Intercept calls, stay ahead of the media, gather intel, and decide the fate of everyone involved before the masses catch on. Try again and again to reshape the narrative in this choice-driven mystery. Or you are fired.
Detailed Description

“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?
