This game is what inspired my love for HORROR
Thu Feb 20 2020 kealam31

I LOVE THIS GAME TO BITS! If you are considering buying this game (and the rest of the chapters) I have a fair warning. This is NOT for the faint of heart. There IS blood and gore, but that’s part of what makes it good. If you DONT like watching intestines falling from the sky then don’t get this game 😂 But if you are fine with gore, definitely buy this. It’s a sad yet hopeful story about a ten year old girl who is so innocent that what is happening to her is so completely unfair that it makes you want to see the end. If you are one of those people who buy/play point and click games and whenever people are talking you just clickclickclickclick till they’re done, this game is not for you. The art style is BEAUTIFUL, I love the Tim Burton vibes this game gives off. This game is what inspires my LOVE for HORROR games. I had my friends play this and they all had nightmares for weeks! They were all legitimately angry at me for a long time 😂 Don’t go to all the most critical, because that’s full of 12 year old girls who are impatient and if a game crashes ONCE they think they have the right to sue everyone. Listen to MY review. If you LOVE MARKIPLIER LIKE ME, PLAY THIS GAME!!!!! It’s SO GOOD! —Keala Marie—-

LISTEN TO THE PROPAGANDA!!
Mon Oct 13 2025 iplaysoudontpay

unfortunately i cannot comment on the complete game since i had to buy each chapter before the complete game came out, but i’m leaving a review to say.. LISTEN TO THE PROPAGANDA!! BUY THIS GAME!! franbow was an absolute life changer, which is a bit silly to say about a game like this, but it’s the truth. i originally watched a gameplay on it when i was a young chap and purchasing the game years later… it did not disappoint however i must say, it’s not for everyone, so definitely watch the trailer and check trigger warnings for any concern, but overall i can say that the game is amazing. it’s not very glitchy too. I ❤️ you, kill monday games!

Beyond awesome sauce!!!!

I didn't encounter any of the bugs that ppl were complaining about. It's now June I had no bug issues so whatever it was it's totally fixed :) Words cannot describe how much I love this game, like totally love every aspect of it! Hands down the best point and click adventure game that I've played in years!!!! My second favorite point and click after maniac mansion. Please please come out with more games like this series!!!!!!! Totally loved it, no complaints at all and I'm picky about my point and click adventure games. A+ times a billion

Serious Concern

I am totally conflicted about this... I love the game, don't get me wrong! I played the demo on my phone, for free of course, and when I got a job and everything, I was happy I could buy it! I brought all 5 chapters ready to play the heck out this game, starting with 1, only to have it crash EVERY time! I wouldn't even mind that part if only it didn't make me restart everything which means I can't even make it to the actual game play... I always crash right after Fran takes the pills for the first time. Is it because I'm on an iPad now or something? Please, any help would be appreciated cause I don't know if I can get my money back and I really do want to play the game

Beautiful game!

I NEVER leave reviews for anything in the App Store. First things first, I never had a single crash on this game. Played all 5 chapters and not a single issue. Secondly, this is an absolutely incredible game. It was such an amazing ride. You really have to use your brain in this game. The imagery and storyline will have you hooked after the first few minutes of gameplay. My only complaint is that we need to have 1,000 more chapters!!

Meh

I was looking for something similar and was excited when I saw something creepy that was a puzzle that didn’t involve hidden objects. I tried this one out and it’s more of a disconjointed story than a puzzle or a game. The clues are few and far between and I’m not complaining that they aren’t obvious, but they don’t make sense. The game consists of clicking on as many objects as possible and then getting an object that you end up testing on every other thing you can possibly click on before the item works. It’s too long for how far you get. It’s a trial and error clickfest and not a puzzler. Save your money.

Great game no glitches always worked
Sat Apr 01 2017 Foxeyez

Such a great game! I almost didn't buy because of all the negative reviews saying it stopped working but for me it never stopped working. I played the whole game to chapter 5 and loved it never had a glitch or a single problem. For those people having one I would look to see if your phone is compatible and has up to date software. 10$ well spent

Please Make a Part two of this whole series!

I played the full game and I loved it so much. I can’t explain how amazing this game is. So much detail and work and i love the story and the back story. I love the ending and the land isthersta. The last words she said were so deep and inspiring. “Between guilt and fear, I choose happiness” Great outstanding job! 🤗 Also if you do make a part 2 of this.. what if it was about another child in the asylum like Annie or Isabelle?
