Fran Bow

Fran Bow begins with peaceful memories: Fran with her parents, her cat Mr. Midnight and her gentle aunt Grace. But an unexpected incident swept everything away, leaving Fran in the Oswald Asylum, a mental hospital where reality and illusion intertwine.

You will play as Fran—a 10-year-old girl trying to leave this place and find her only friend. The world around is not only strict doctors and nurses but also contains strange things that only appear when Fran takes a special medicine.

Fran Bow gameplay

Fran Bow is a puzzle adventure game with a point & click style. Players will collect items, combine them, explore areas, and solve hidden puzzles. A special mechanic is the ability to change the perspective when the character uses the medicine, opening up another aspect of the world, where new details and secret passages appear.

Half-real, half-dreamy space

The game environment is both innocent, like a child's imagination and mysterious and surreal. Each room and each character has two sides—one normal and one strange—making players constantly question what is real.

Multi-layered story

Behind the expressive images is a story about nostalgia, resilience and the journey to find the most precious thing. During the exploration, players will gradually understand more about the reason that brought Fran to the hospital and the secrets behind the events.

Fran Bow is a worthy choice for those who love adventure puzzle games with psychological elements and want to experience an emotional and artistic story. And if you like pixel-art horror games, Wacky Nursery 2 is a suggestion.
