User Reviews

Fran Bow Chapter 1 is lauded for its striking art, dark storytelling, and atmospheric, surreal world. Players praise the rich writing, memorable characters, and its unique mood that blends horror with whimsy. However, many reviews warn of technical issues on iOS devices, especially crashes and bugs, and of the episodic pricing that can feel expensive for a short game. The graphic gore itself is a double-edged sword: appealing to fans of mature horror but off-putting to younger players. Audio glitches and puzzle design debates also appear. Overall, a bold concept with mixed execution across devices.

Pros

Engaging, dark story with strong world-building.
Distinct art style and atmospheric visuals.
Unique mood that blends horror with whimsy and memorable characters.

Cons

Frequent bugs/crashes and other technical issues on iOS devices.
Chapter-based pricing that can feel expensive for a relatively short game.
Gory graphic content may be too intense or inappropriate for younger players.
Audio issues on some devices (sound not working or missing feedback).
Puzzle design can feel like trial-and-error rather than a satisfying challenge.

Doesn’t open saved game or new game. Glitches and goes back to menu. Tried on iPhone and iPad, does the same thing. Paid for this and it doesn’t work

I don’t know it could be better it’s a great game don’t get me wrong but the graphics could be better I think it’d be immaculate as a vr game but it is confusing

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!
