When I first came into contact with this game it was through a playthrough when I was 8, this game was an absolute banger and it holds a very special place in my heart. Replaying it years later was absolutely great, truly an underrated game that more people should play.

LOVED this. lwk didn't rly understand it fully, the overall concept is clear, but there are many theories abt the actual events of the game; and the border between what's in fran's head and what's actually "real" is very blurry. it's quite creepy, but for some reason comforting, 10/10

Such a beautiful game with unique, impressive aesthetic, and a heartbreaking story. It's like reading a picture book of a dark fairy tale about a child's trauma and self heal. The game has very rich symbolism of psychology and philosophy. Although with a frightening exterior, the core is about innocence and hope.
The gameplay is simple and strong. I enjoyed walking around picking up things while appreciating the aesthetic. The puzzles aren't very easy to me. Many of the problems do need you to actually be more creative, and be very mindful.
It would be a very good fit for you if you enjoy story rich games with unique aesthetics.

I love this game if you're a fan of the Silent Hill games you will probably love this, if you get stuck don't be afraid to use a walk through.

I saw Markiplier play this game YEARS ago. From start to finish.I was pretty young then but this game still caught my attention and years after that I've bought the game anyway.It’s one of the darkest games I have ever played, the art style is great, the sounds are terrifying like they should be, the storyline is interesting and immersive, the puzzles are nice and not quite difficult but not easy as well.For some people the switching seasons part may be boring but I find it extremely interesting unlike any other puzzle game that I played with the similar perspective.After so many years the game still amazes me!

I LOVE this game. You should totally get it. Use big brain energy to solve puzzles and see the undertones of this game. Characters are lovable and hateable - when a game makes you think and feel its a 10/10.

I remember playing Fran Bow a lifetime ago, literally. It was one of those indie games that came out a decade ago and quickly became industry benchmarks. At the time, I remember it didn't impact me as much as, say, To The Moon.
Recently, while talking to a friend, she mentioned how important this game had been to her, and I decided to play it again.
It's strange to feel “so at home” with something that is so inherently hostile. An incredible experience.
I doubt many people have yet to try it, but in case it wasn't clear, I recommend it.
