Peeping Frame
Peeping Frame - GMTK GAMEJAM 2024 Built to Scale
Peeping Frame is a simple puzzle and deduction game where you observe people through windows and search for a suspect.
It is inspired by Hitchcock's "Rear Window" and illustrator Pablo Amargo.
Use your keyboard and mouse to adjust the "Scale" of the screen and find the suspect. The deeper you zoom in, the more detailed the view of the people becomes.
TIP: When the camera is fully zoomed out, the image refreshes at regular intervals.
Controls
- Camera Movement: Arrow keys or WASD
- Camera Zoom In: Q key, or scroll up
- Camera Zoom Out: E key, or scroll down
Objective
Check the clues by clicking on the letter icon, (You can scroll them with click & drag)
then check the locations of persons A, B, and C on the building in the verification panel. If the three are not correctly marked, the email will not be sent

Loved this little game! There’s so much to love about this, the art, the gameplay, it’s one of the coolest jam games I’ve ever played.
I also wrote a short article about it!
Thank you for enjoying the game! :) I can't believe you wrote an article about it—I'm truly grateful! I enjoyed reading it!
Such a fresh and creative take on the game jams theme! The design is beautiful as well, with the minimalist sound and graphics. I would have liked harder riddles, but had fun solving it nonetheless.
I also wanted to include more challenging puzzles, but my coding skills were poorer than I expected, so I didn’t have enough time to create them. Thank you so much for playing. If I get the chance, I’d love to refine it into a more polished version in the future!
This game is simple yet striking. Its modern design and minimalistic approach leave a strong impression. The letter in the game hints at a bigger world, sparking curiosity about the story and characters. The subtle sounds, like crackling and white noise, add to the atmosphere, creating a calming yet powerful experience. Despite its simplicity, the game stays with you long after you’ve played it. 🏁
Your compliment is really wonderful. If more people like it, I might consider expanding it into a bigger game.
Cute and relaxing! It took a few moments for me to fully understand the mechanics of the image refresh, but once that clicked everything went fine. In the beginning I felt a bit stressed because the new hints were dropping at a real fast pace. But all in all I think it's a nice twist on the genre and I think it has potential!
Thank you! Since the game was made in a rush, I think I missed a lot of the system aspects. However, I feel that what I wanted to express was conveyed quite well. I'm grateful that you enjoyed it.
super fun cute game I love it <3
