I love the creepy yet sad aspects. And the mystery of not knowing whats real or not when taking the medecine. cliffhanger mysteries make it more addictive to play to figure it out. I also found the gaurd hilarious, he's very "kind". I would give 5 stars except for 1 thing. All 5 chapters are split up and each cost money. Which is a little annoying because you can't play it all at once and you have to pay for all of them. But I could get around it if the chapters just weren't so short!

I love the concept and was really excited to play the game. I heard about it from playing little miss fortune. Although, it has trouble with picking choices. It gives an option of "A" and "b", but it doesn't work when you try and choose.

Excellent game and good story. For the price the chapters seem a bit short to me but I'm no developer and have no idea how what's involved with creating these games. It's not short enough to stop me from purchasing the chapters.

All chapters of this game are brilliant. I don't usually review games, but this one needs to be celebrated! The chapters give different atmospheres and take place in different environments, but are all connected thematically. The story is compelling, the characters and dialogue are quirky, music and artwork are great. I'm so glad I stumbled across this game!

Over seven years Fran Bow is still my favourite game. The 2d visual and gameplay designs are lovely and thrilling at the same time. After the first test version demo the whole chapter is much more detailed in the story telling absolutely worth your time :)

I played all 5 chapters and it's the darkest (all the trigger warnings!) adventure game I've played, and I love it! Really great creepy art, puzzles, characters and story. I really come to care for the characters. Very much worth the money for the rest of the chapters!

This is a fantastic, beautiful, horrific, spectacular, unique, intriguing, and heartfelt game. It is beautiful to look at, fun to play, and you are invested in the story and the characters. I wish there were more games like this. The only criticism I have and it is a minor one is that I wish there were more puzzles to solve. Other than that I would give this a 4.9 on the terrible Google Play scale. Where you cannot tell the algorithm what games you do not want to be shown. Nice job Google.

Horror in all it's awe and glory from the perspective of a young child... the puzzles are creative and not always easy to solve and the adventure aspect is... well for lack of a better word, adventurous!

I bought all 5 chapters and it all worked out great and there were no game malfunctions or crashes. The game is creepy and so interesting and i love the story line its such an amazing game! Buying it was so worth it.

Sooooo underrated. Might be the best "point and click" game I've ever played. If you liked the Rusty Lake series you'll like this. Worth every penny. Desperately need more games like this. Clever, dark, and bloody, all wrapped in a sort of Alice in Wonderland esthetic. Highly recommended.
