About the Game

A cursed teenager is thrown into a forgotten recursive wonderland where the last twenty-four hours are a mystery, her Mother's been kidnapped and she’ll be framed for the murder of a missing boy if she can’t find him. Oh, and her pet rabbit has risen from his grave…

Framing Dawes is an atmospheric adventure game following teenager Bay Dawes on her journey to find and bring a missing boy to the asylum where her mother is being held captive before the end of the day. If she doesn't, she will be framed for his murder and never see her mother again. Accompanied by her dead pet rabbit, Dink, they explore the hidden world beneath her town of Foresight in a flying bathtub to recover missing memories and rescue her mother.

But can she break the curse before it's too late?
