PLAYISM and Silver Lining Studio have announced a brand-new physical bundle for the Nintendo Switch, and it’s sure to tug at your heartstrings. On August 7, 2025, Japan will receive a boxed release that includes both Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery and The Star Named EOS, two beautifully hand-crafted narrative experiences that focus on art, emotion, and memory.
For fans of slow-paced storytelling, dreamy visuals, and immersive gameplay, Behind the Frame and The Star Named EOS bundle are worth keeping on your radar.
Two stories that paint with feeling
If you’ve never dipped into either of these titles, now’s a perfect time to catch up—especially with the Switch version getting a physical edition.
Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery – a painter’s journey
Originally released digitally on PlayStation 4, Switch, PC (Steam, GOG, Epic), iOS, and Android, Behind the Frame is a gentle, point-and-click narrative game told through the eyes of a young artist trying to complete the final painting for her gallery. But it’s not just about brushstrokes and colour palettes—this is a reflective tale of inspiration, memories, and the unseen stories that art can hold.
You don’t rush through Behind the Frame. You take it in like a Sunday morning with coffee in hand—clicking, painting, sketching, and sometimes just breathing in the world around you.
Key features
- Paint, sketch, and retouch your work as you uncover the story behind each masterpiece
- Explore panoramic hand-drawn spaces with visuals inspired by Studio Ghibli
- Let the calming soundtrack and ambient sound design carry you through a tale of quiet emotion
The Star Named EOS – capturing memories in motion
The Star Named EOS, which is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox, Switch, and PC via Steam, is a first-person puzzle game wrapped in a narrative about photography and personal discovery. You play as Dei, a young photographer tracing his mother’s past through old photographs and memories.
This is where exploration meets emotion. Through interactive puzzles and carefully recreated photos, you’re not just solving challenges—you’re reconnecting with a story that feels deeply personal. The hand-drawn world, paired with voice-acted narration, adds depth to the journey.
Key features
- Take photos to relive memories and solve immersive puzzles
- Explore stunning, hand-drawn environments full of subtle details
- Experience a heartfelt story about love, longing, and the passage of time
There’s no word yet on a Western release for the physical edition, but considering the critical love both games have received, it’s a bundle that deserves a global rollout.
August 7 is just around the corner, and for Japanese players (or import enthusiasts), this bundle is a lovely collector’s piece. It’s not just two games in a box—it’s two stories you’ll carry with you long after the credits roll.
