Has anybody else played Fran Bow? I am presently in "vegetative state". And I just have to ask, in the most articulate way I can currently manage: What the fuck?

I've watched a play through. My summary of it - "It's fucked up." XD But a very good game. Such cool puzzles and designs, creative characters, original art. The story is very interesting... It's both like... Fantasy and fairy-tale like, at first you'd think it's a kid's point and click game, but then you realize it's been added with a pinch of "fuckery"! So morbid and depressing in some parts, but I like it. Good game. X3

Doesn't look like it's worth the $15 pricetag it has on Steam.

Actually, it was a horror game, and that's what I was there for... Escaping a mental institution, seeing glimpses into the other children's traumas, and even in the forest there was some seriously creepy shit going on. Right up until I went into full hippie vision quest mode. Now I'm on some quirky fantasy adventure that makes NO SENSE. It flies right the fuck out of nowhere, adds nothing to the game, goes on WAY too long and is extremely repetitive and frustrating for all the normal reasons point and click games are repetitive and frustrating. I mean, there's still a few creepy moment here, but they're way too few and far between, and the puzzles in here are just not any good.

 

I would have heartily recommended this game to anybody looking for a good horror game before I went into Ithersta. Now, I don't think I'd recommend it to anybody.
