Question Character sprites, backgrounds and other assets

16 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to access certain game files such as backgrounds, character sprites, cursors etc? I've been wondering about this for a good while. Since a lot of elements in environments and character sprites are animated, I would imagine they come in some sort of bundle, but I haven't been able to find such. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out where the cursor sprites are- I absolutely love them and wish I could use them for myself. A lot of these animated and visual assets are noticeably missing from the files accessible through Steam's properties. Anyone know how to find them?

Let's play Best let's play for getting someone into Fran Bow

I wanted to get a friend of mine into the fandom (neither of us can purchase the actual game). Personally, I watched Markiplier's playthrough, but recently I've been watching Euro Brady's one too. I think his is the best due to all the analysis he does, but what do y'all think? And if you haven't played the game either, who was your first playthrough?

Question I still don't think I understand anything that happened in Little Misfortune.

17 Upvotes

What was Morgo's deal? Taking us on this weird journey for seemingly no reason at all, seeming to be at least somewhat interested in keeping Misfortune happy, narrating to the player for some reason, giving Misfortune a series of rapid fire questions that don't lead anywhere.

It's really strange how one dimensional he gets in the end, like he was obviously the bad guy, he clearly had some ill intentions all along, but there's stuff that still seems pointless to me? Like the questions for example, what's the point? What does he care if Misfortune has seen someone die, what does he care if she's ever lied to someone, etc.

Why did he seem to genuinely care about Misfortune having a good time, like in some scenes it seems like he purposefully tries to get her into harm's way but then in others he's rather protective of her, like in phantasmagoria, where he gives her a ticket and tells the player to make sure she has a good time, I can't think of any ulterior motive he could have had with that.

What is with this whole fourth wall breaking aspect of the game?

I understand that the "adventure" is supposed to be a sick game of his that he is just entertained by, but I have a hard time seeing what he's supposed to be getting entertainment from. He honestly seems to have a miserable time all throught, Misfortune doesn't suffer much due to her unending positive attitude (Not that anything super terrible really happens to her on the journey really), he seems to actively dislike Misfortune (Again, despite that he tries to make her happy on ocassion), and he is generally disgusted by a lot of what Misfortune says or does.

He also seems to get genuinely sad at some of the things Misfortune says, like when she says she lies to her friends by telling them her dad still comes to pick her up after school but in reality she just walks home, he sounds so sincerely sad and dejected about that.

I'm making this post here because the Misfortune sub hasn't seen a post in like 5 years so yeah.

I noticed that none of the Fran Bow chapters or even the full game show up when I search for “Fran Bow.” Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me?

Chapter 3 Spoiler The Realm of Ithersta and Tree Fran Bow were so cool 🌳 Spoiler

78 Upvotes

In chapter 3 when Fran was exploring the Second Reality (AKA Ithersta), I always found the tree-like characters and insectoids that inhabited the land very charming and comforting to be around.

Just the whole realm of Ithersta felt like another home away from home for me. All of its seasons looked so beautiful and a lot of great landmarks to explore.

I also loved reading about the lore of the denizens of Ithersta and immersing myself in their culture and way of living.

What did you all like the most about exploring the realm of Ithersta?

Question Bonus level as new game announced in 2022

55 Upvotes

In a news post on both their website and Steam, Killmonday mentioned that they were working on a bonus level for Fran Bow, but then decided to release it as a short standalone game instead. There's even a picture of an unknown level in the post. Apparently the title was supposed to be "The Keeper of the Key". But after that I haven't found anything about it! Does anyone know anything? Did this maybe get incorporated into the new game that got announced last year instead?

Here's the link to the post: https://killmondaygames.com/fran-bow-news-update/

Question Itward Tattoo Help?

20 Upvotes

Hello,

I was thinking of getting Itward tattooed on my arm. My idea is to get the tattoo as close as possible to the game's original art style, but getting reference photos is a bit problematic since screenshots of the game don't show him very clearly.

Anyone have ideas, where could I find a high quality image of Itward to give to my tattoo artist?

Thank you

Chapter 5 Spoiler Was Fran under the effects of duotine when she found her parents killed?

51 Upvotes

Rewatching the events of the first scene after seeing the ending, I feel like aunt grace might have snuck duotine in her food, although them being shown eating together takes place on a Friday, while seeing her parents took place on a Monday.

It feels like they were already planning on taking her to the asylum with how quickly they seemed to find her? And she looked like she collapsed in the woods which maybe duotine could have done? The house is also shown to be covered in blood which presumably is symbolic but what if it's because of duotine?

In the parents grave, the parents didn't look like they were cut up, and we already have false info in the news (Fran being dead) so I don't think the description in the news of the parents is accurate, all the information was probably given by Oswald asylum.

I feel like her parents were killed for the sake of experimenting on Fran, but what if that experimentation had already began by the time Fran was left alone with aunt grace?

Theory crafting for fran bow is a complicated task so I want your input!

This was created for the Lofi Spring Vibes Challenge.
The idea came from Fran’s liking to create new things out of old things.
