Feedback for Framed - I couldn't see an email for feedback and the discord link didn't work.
It was not immediately clear who I could take photos of; I found by accident that the pink characters displayed the camera symbol upon getting close enough to them. It was also not clear that the blue characters were cops, this should be stated along with the pink targets.
Also, it is not clear if taking a photo of someone will set off them knowing. The current mechanics convey the idea that as long as I am not in eyesight, I am fine. If this isn’t the case this should be told to the player and perhaps be displayed on screen.

There's no way to tell which girls you’ve already taken a photo of that day before walking up to them and the button not coming up. I also think there should be more pink character spawning in, I go to the point where I could take more photos a day than women I could photograph.
There also should be a ‘practice’ section in your room where you can try the mini game before encountering them in the world.
Exiting to menu should mention saving your data, I was worried that leaving the game would cause all my progress to be deleted because this wasn’t mentioned.
The Game needs a gallery; I shouldn’t have to screenshot the picture to be able to look at it again. The gallery should also indicate how many photos I’m missing from the total collection (This is for completionists).
The speed boost from the shoes is too small, if you’re going to keep it this small, I recommend making it upgradable multiple times, like the amount of photographs one can take. The price of the shoes and jumper do mean that they weren’t purchased until I’d fully upgraded my camera. If this is your intention this is good, if not the price should be re-evaluated.
Features that haven’t been added yet should say so, it is confusing if the feature is inaccessible because my character hasn’t unlocked it or that it’s not in the game. What’s the deal with the hallway? I went back to it constantly, thinking maybe I have to have over a grand to have confidence, or maybe be fully upgraded.
There is a gap behind a tree, between a blue and yellow building where you can get to the outside of the map.
I encountered a bug where after selling a pic to the shady man, the next interaction (such as going in your building) will bring up his dialogue.
The game froze after sleeping.
Encountered bug where upon doing a night-time photo and getting ! my follow up daytime photos also automatically received this. Had to main menu exit and re-enter to fix.

Overall, I think this game has some great potential. It would be excellent to see it fit in the ‘pay off debt simulator’ that games such as luck be a landlord have made popular.
Each successive rent pay off could give the player confidence, this could increase the likelihood of capturing rarer images.
Thank you for reading this feedback and making this great little game
