Qué juegazo, duro de cojones pero buenísimo.

 

Es un juego muy macabro y que trata temas muy delicados pero todo desde la perspectiva de una niña con esperanza que aunque no entienda nada de lo que le está pasando ni de hasta donde abarca su trauma decide seguir con convicción, valentía y curiosidad su camino.

 

Tiene un estilo artístico brutal, es un point and click en el que los puzzles tienen una dificultad que te hace pasarte un ratito pensando, no se hace pesado en ningún momento y conforme vas desentrañando la historia más quieres entender qué está pasando.

 

Si eres aprensiva o crees que te pueden triggerear algunos temas asegúrate de leer las advertencias del propio juego, pero en general me parece que a pesar de lo crudo de los temas que se tratan está muy bien equilibrado con la parte inocente de Fran y cómo ve ella el mundo y lo que le está pasando a ella y a los demás, aunque no lo entienda del todo.

 

Recomendado si te gustan los point and click, los juegos con temas profundos, lo macabro, los puzzles, disfrutar de la belleza dentro del dolor y el trauma y que te deje pensando 💖

Another point and click game that deals with the mental health of a young girl. As well as the story being great, I also really enjoyed the art style. One of the darker games I've played, but very captivating.

The older game of the same developers as the newer "Little Misfortune". It can be seen that between this game and the newer one the developers have learned a lot. Fran's story seems sometimes very much "all over the place" and the source of some elements and plot twists are not completely clear. But the puzzles and graphics make the game very tempting, although one puzzle led to being stuck for a longer time.

Big plus for the possibililty to turn the music off completely and still having other game sounds unaffected. Also the game is extremely stable - not even once did it crash or hang and the player is able to save manually.

Recommended for fans of stable point+click games and fans of Killmonday Games.

 

Full Steam review:

Played "Little Misfortune" before this older game from the same developer. And the differences are in my opinion huge. The story in the younger game is not as chaotic as this one. While the newer game is much shorter, Fran Bow's story seems sometimes a little more draggy. Also the puzzles are sometimes not as self-explanatory as in the newer game.

For fans of Killmonday Games, Fran Bow is definitely recommended. It has many similar technical elements that can be found in both games, the graphics are amazing, the dialogues well made although sometimes lengthy. At least yours truly finished the game with a "wtf just happened?"- look on the face. Technically the game is perfect - no crashes, not getting stuck, nothing negative. That is why it is recommended.

Мне понравилась! Люблю такие квестики. Бесило только, что диалоги плохо прокликиваются, особенно при переигровке некоторых глав для достижений. Ну и я не очень поняла финал, видимо нужно самим интерпретировать -_- Я в нее начинала играть много лет назад, но видимо слетели сохранения и она у меня лежала в дропе. Честно говоря, я думала, что почти прошла ее, а оказывается, 2/5 глав примерно было пройдено)

Я думаю, эту игру многие любят, потому что она для них из детства. Для меня вот нет, поэтому романтический флёр отсутствует.

Вот вроде и прикольно, а вроде и история недорассказанна как будто. По геймплею - мне лично приятен пойнт энд клик если там много хороших головоломок, а не в чистом виде. А это ну прям почти в чистом. По качеству - в какой-то момент у меня стала умирать игра после каждого взятого предмета. Прикиньте, как с этим фигово играть в пойнт энд клик? Визуал для меня лично тоже не самый приятный. Вот персонажей хорошо проработали, сама Фрэн Боу не бесячая, очень милая девочка. Остальные тоже хороши и с понятными ролями.

Не знаю, в целом и 4,5 поставить можно, но всё равно я ощущаю на четыре, сори.
