What Makes Fran Bow Chapter 3 Stand Out
Fran Bow is a creepy adventure game that tells the story of Fran, a young girl struggling with a mental disorder 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.
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.

Community Insight:
We think the third one is definitely our favorite. The art is wonderful and the settings are beautiful and whimsical. We love all the characters.
This game is amazing and great we love it and we like how its based of a girl named Fran bow we hope they add atleast 2 more chapters.
This game out of all five is definitely our favorite there are so many puzzles to do and the scenery is so beautiful.
This is our 3rd time playing all the Fran Bow games and out of all the chapters this one is our favorite! We can totally relate to the using your imagination to faze out whats going on around you when youre going through a terrible time in life 5 stars for every chapter.
The graphics, storytelling, and puzzles are by far the best in the series so far. We cant wait to start #4! This chapter is gorgeous and held us captive for hours straight.
Hands down the best point and click adventure game that we've played in years!!!! Our 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 we're picky about our point and click adventure games. A+ times a billion.
We love the concept of taking the pills and being able to see what's really there. Chapter 2 is our favorite so far, but this one is a close second. The backgrounds are amazing, and the gameplay is great as well. We hope we feel the same about the chapters to come! There's just the perfect amount of dialogue too.
TOUR DE FORCE wonderful! We laughed, we cried; we were mad, angry, disgusted, curious, delighted, and overjoyed. This is the best game of its type ever. No joke. That two people with no technical background developed it is amazing. We love you guys.
Very well done! Great job on creating enjoyment and suspense in every chapter! A little weird in places, but that's what makes it so different and so cool. Thank you Killmonday.
We have only played through Chapters 1-3 but the 3rd Chapter is the best yet! It's really cute and we really liked this one.
Chapter 3 was a major departure from the feel and execution of the first and second chapters and at first a bit of a disappointment. The first two chapters were both creative and creepy and the storyline was going somewhere. Chapter 3 to start was just a whole lot of poorly written dialogue with lots of boring and meaningless ramblings, but then it changed, then we had puzzles to solve. They pulled it out of the fire.
GETTING THE WAND IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUEE THE VOLOKAS IS NOT LETTING GO! YOUR GAME HHS A HUGE BUG AN IT RUINS THE GAME SO YOU CANT PASS! IF THERE WAS A ZERO STARS OPTION we WOULD PICK THAT.
The first two chapters were fun, the dialogue not bad, good pacing with the puzzles, beautiful design, and creepy story. Then this the third chapter kills it for us. Tree and bug people? We could get past that, but the dialogue was painful to get through, the story felt like it had nothing to do with the first two, and the puzzles were unintuitive and tedious. It's a shame, we played the first two in a day then had to force ourselves to finish this one just to see if it got any better. It didn't.
We love this game so far, but this chapter crashes immediately after opening. We don't even get to see a gameplay screen. Judging by the reviews, this doesn't seem to be happening to anyone else, so we don't know what the deal is.
We liked the first chapter a lot and the second one was okay, but we gave up and deleted this one. It's nothing but slow, boring dialogue – not really a game at all.
