Description
Fran Bow is a creepy adventure game that tells the story of Fran, a young girl struggling with a mental disorder and an unfair destiny.

After witnessing the gruesome and mysterious loss of her parents, found dismembered at their home, Fran rushes into the woods, together with her only friend, Mr. Midnight, a black cat that Fran had previously received as a present from her parents.

Way too easy

The game looks great and works mostly ok, although the game lost my autosave after the first chapter and I had to ask for a savegame from Killmonday. The problem for me, a long time adventure fan, was the low difficulty of the puzzles. It almost felt like it was aimed for children judging by how easy the problems were. But of course, it can't be for kids because the game is pretty brutal and scary. Also, as a screenwriter I did think the script was not very strong, and there were very long parts where the player couldn't do anything else but follow the characters' conversations. All in all, a pretty big disappointment for me.

Amazing yet disappointing

I can't help but feel a bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I agree that this game has an amazing immersive atmosphere, gripping story and certainly a great experience overall... right until the end, that is, where it just felt flat and anti-climactic to me. It was a lot like Brutal Legend in that regard where it just feels like there was supposed to be more... but there isn't. Certainly, if I only played through everything except the last scene, I would be giving this 5 stars but that last part just ruins a fair bit of the experience. I really wish it didn't though -- the everything else about the game is truly amazing. Lament, for this could have been perfect. But it isn't.
