For those yet to hear the name, Fran Bow is a “creepy” adventure game that follows a young girl dealing with a mental health condition and an “unfair destiny.”“After witnessing the gruesome and mysterious loss of her parents, found dismembered at their home, Fran rushes into the woods, together with her only friend, Mr. Midnight, a black cat that Fran had previously received as a present from her parents,“ reads the press release blurb.“In the forest, Fran goes into shock over the loss of her parents and when she recovers, she’s at Oswald Asylum, an oppressive mental institution for children, and Mr. Midnight is nowhere to be found."Developed by Natalia Figueroa and Isak Martinsson of Killmonday Games, Fran Bow was funded back in 2013 via the indie crowd-funding site IndieGoGo . Both Figueroa and Martinsson previously worked creating short films and music videos but felt “something was missing,“ from their work: interaction.“We have done a few free games, mostly for the fun of it and to learn, but Fran Bow is our biggest project ever for which we did a crowdfunding campaign, and thanks to everyone who supported us, we were able to finish!” says Killmonday Games.Upon release, Fran Bow will be available through Steam and GoG. If you’d like to take it out for a test run, there’ll also be a demo released on launch day. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a good scare, here’s 13 horror titles out this year you really shouldn’t turn your back on
