    More than the sum of its parts. Dark. A favorite forgotten bedtime story from Hell. Beautiful in the intricacy of it's world. The single greatest indie adventure game surprise of 2015.

    Disturbing yet adorable, full of violence but at the same time tender, Fran Bow is an adventure with a compelling and sad story that we utterly recommend. The final part of the game might seem confusing and chaotic, but it's still a great moment that will hit you right in the guts.

    Fran Bow is a wonderfully dark and surreal adventure that is definitely worth the price of voluntary admission.

    Despite an average story Fran Bow was an interesting journey that even left me feeling uneasy in dark places. [11/2015, p.40]

    An occasionally horrific game with a memorable character and some fantastically grotesque artwork, it’s absolutely worth the journey.

    Fran Bow is chaos in its purest form. A stream of gibberish. A classic example of a story written on a napkin.

The script, the art, the composition, the music, all is perfect in Fran Bow... and about the playability... is even better! Not-easy-but-no-impossible puzzles, minigames to relax the mind from chapter to chapter, and a continuos history that will grab you and won't let you free until you realize what's is all the story about Fran Bow, Mr. Midnight, and their world... TRY IT!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fran Bow. Review the game has moderate to sometimes difficult puzzles. Some are obscure in my opinion. Fran Bow - in the credits section mis spells two words when it comes to english proof reading. with the spelling of egnlish and the word raeding which may have been a hidden joke. The game itself doesn't include jump scares which are the type I hate most about horror games. The world setting is about various dimensions that exist on top of each other. Certain aspects of the games puzzles are not obvious and where designed to extend game play a little. The game is short but its story makes up for it. The game has a demo which is a good thing as without it I may have held off on owning it for much longer. It gets a 9(without the demo and 8) it doesn't get a 10 from me cause it didn't really specify certain key points at the end so its like it leaves a questions unanswered. It also lost its point due to the frog jump mini game which was tedious if not impossible to do, thankfully its skippable.… Expand
