Description

Fran Bow is a dark adventure about a young girl struggling with mental illness who escapes a 1940s psychiatric hospital by taking these little red pills that allows her to see visions of a sinister alternate world. Trauma is something at times we can see on the outside, but more often than not, we carry the scars of trauma on the inside…invisible to everyone, but ourselves. However from the moment we see Fran standing over the remains of her parents, it’s clear that this game was going to approach this invisible monster in a very visual way.

So what is the story of Fran Bow and how does her experience serve as a visual representation of real world trauma?
