A creepy, beautiful adventure + problems
The game was a very memorable experience, having both some of the most pleasing and the most creepy art I've seen in any game. Didn't expect to feel so uneasy in a hand drawn (or styled as such) world, nor to smile so many times out of pure joy for the world and its presentation. This juxtaposition of both sadness and pain with joy and compassion gives Fran Bow a feel that's pretty lifelike, like the developers wanted to express something out of their own experience with the game. That's a pretty great achievement in any medium, and I warmly recommend Fran Bow to anyone who feels even a bit attracted to it based on the store page. The reason I docked one star is, for one, that there are a few sections where it feels like the game is making you run from one end of an area to the next just to make you spend more time with the game. For example, in one area there are three bodies of water at a fair distance from one another and numerous quests where your only hint is to go find thing x in water, which forces you to check out all of these places and spent a lot of time transitioning. A minor thing but it annoyed me. The other thing is that I felt like the ending had potential to be more if the developers had more time to deliver it - right now it felt a little rushed with how things were developing. Then again, I was playing the end in the wee hours of the morning wanting to see things through before going to bed, so maybe it was just my mental state at that moment. Oh, one more good thing to add: Fran's dialogue and inner dialogue sound like that of a child, which really helped to sell the character for me, and was a nice change of pace for how kids are often written in different stories.
