About Fran Bow
Fran Bow is a story-driven adventure about a young girl struggling with a mental disorder and an unfair destiny. After finding her parents dismembered at home, Fran flees into the woods with Mr. Midnight, the black cat her parents gave her. She collapses from shock and wakes in Oswald Asylum, an oppressive institution for children, with Mr. Midnight missing. After dreaming about her cat, Fran decides to escape, find him and return home to Aunt Grace, her only living relative.
