    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

La progresión es sencilla de seguir, los puzzles son fáciles, y la estética está claramente inspirada en una versión macabra de Alicia en el país de las maravillas.
    No recomendado para niños, para personas sensibles ni de mente cerrada.
    Un viaje muy interesante.    … Expand

    To be honest, the atmosphere wasn't creepy at all. However, the puzzles were good and the story-telling was interesting. 8hrs on record.
