segunda vez jogando e zerando fran bow (especificamente pra platinar) e percebi que eu não tinha feito uma review!! só fiz pra little misfortune e lá falei um pouco d fran bow... meu primeiro contato com fran bow foi assistindo uma gameplay do luba </3, depois disso eu gostei tanto de fran bow que em um evento escolar de halloween resolvi me vestir dela. também na época que eu assisti foi quando ganhei o meu gatinho! enfim, na época eu era criança e eu me identificava muito com ela (não de um jeito estranho como nos dias atuais...) e desde então eu gosto tanto dela, como do itward e etc e como do jogo em si!! não é à toa que decidi jogar little misfortune também! quando vi o anúncio do próximo jogo da killmonday, não muito tempo atrás se eu não me engano, eu chorei demais (lembro tb que não acreditei no que eu estava vendo), ainda não me caiu a ficha que vai ter um novo jogo com ela, e claro que qnd lançar eu vou ser uma das primeiras a comprar. enfim, eu gosto demais demais dela desde o primeiro momento que eu a vi! tô muito ansiosa pra esse próximo jogo que vão lançar, não posso nem pensar nele se não eu fico com ansiedade de vdd... eu espero muito que seja tão legal quanto esse, e eu tenho certeza que vou gostar muito! vai ser muito interessante acompanhar a fran nesse novo momento da vida dela, e não só isso, como também a relação dela com a misfortune! já que no vídeo aparentou que as duas vão se juntar, quero muito ver isso ^_^
Harrowing, chilling, trauma-filled, deceptively adorable and an incredible story with great voice acting. Characters are written amazingly, puzzles are hard yet fun to complete, all the achievements were actually enjoyable to get and I wish I could forget this game to play it again and feel that sense of dread once over. 10/10 Point and Click Horror <333
Fran Bow is a masterful work of storytelling! The horror aesthetic and artstyle is right up my alley. I'm a big fan of disturbing psychological horror that creeps you out without having any jumpscares. This game proves that you can feel dread and be terrified without the elements of cheap horror. This game made me feel so bad for Fran Bow and her story. You can tell she's just a child that was put in this atrocious place and she's trying to make some sense out of it. The many themes shown by the visual storytelling was done so well. Fran Bow as a character is also very good! Her dialogue options make sense for a 10-11 year old. The only thing I wasn't very fond of was the third chapter that was very fairytale like but it works for the wonderland side of this game. Some puzzles were difficult and I used a guide to get 100% achievements for first playthrough and I'm glad I did. They aren't really that hard just very time consuming to figure out. It's like a fetch quest that has been turned into a puzzle. Knowing what to do helped speed things up while still apprecianting the game. The minigames being in different artstyles added a whole new level of charm to this game. I loved this so much and I highly recommend this game for anyone looking for challeneging puzzles or great story with disturbing art!
