From the very moment I started it, there was this constant feeling of unease that never really disappeared. It's atmosphere and distinctive art style give it a personality that is difficult to compare with anything else, and the world is filled with so many bizarre yet memorable characters that I kept wondering what I would encounter next. Fran Bow is simply one of a kind.

Wow…..only a little way in, but you can tell from the word go it’s going to be a rollercoaster ride of a game/story. Put a good headset on, crank up the volume and get really sucked into the atmosphere and tragedy…..pretty gruesome stuff and not for the faint-hearted. Very raw topics…. One of the best point and click games I’ve played in a long time. Just superb. Update - finished the game, incredible. Couple of tough puzzles in there. Stepping away from game for an hour or 2, then coming back helped. Great story and really glad I pushed through the puzzles! Massively recommended.

I remember first watching the gameplay of this when I was young and had unrestricted internet access, instead of being horrified I was actually really intrigued by this game. I loved everything about it, its old now, maybe you could point out the bad parts of it but it is still a very beautiful game. I feel for Fran a lot, when I was younger I too was on pills that would cause me very vivid dreams (ADHD meds lol) which caused me to go into a spiral when I was about 9. I never told anyone in my family because they were super religous, especially my mom and when I first watched Markiplier play this I felt so validated through her experience with the red pills she got. Not to mention how vivid her dreams were like mine. Still love this game even if it put me in psychosis when I was a kid, I really wish I would have played it without knowing about the story before hand.
