The world can be experienced during all four seasons, but spring has got to be my favorite time to explore. Not to mention, Ithersta as a setting is absolutely stunning. Thankfully, despite all of the bad things that have and will happen to Fran at this point in the game, there's always someone to help her on her way or lend her a hand which makes the game feel as hopeful as it does heartbreaking. It's this area of the game where we get a brief break from all of the blood and guts and get to see Fran mostly at peace. One of my favorite sections of Fran Bow sees Fran being transported to Ithersta, a world where everything is connected to nature and its inhabitants are either some kind of life-sized insect, vegetable, or plant - including Fran herself who is transformed into a tree. The game also isn't afraid to touch on some difficult subjects, such as death, mental health, abuse, and more. Despite all of the horrors she experiences, Fran remains optimistic throughout her journey which is really inspiring to watch. Whether it's her Aunt Grace who sent her to the asylum, the doctors and nurses who just want to subdue her, or the shadow monster Remor who constantly follows and torments her on her journey Fran has a lot of reasons to be mad at the world. It's pretty obvious early on in Fran's adventure that the people around her don't always have her best interests at heart. Beneath its creepy exterior, though, Fran Bow is actually a really uplifting game.
