My complaint about Fran Bow is the same as my complaint about Omori—a lot of the adventures in hallucination-land don’t seem all that relevant to the issues the characters are supposed to be dealing with. Omori fights monsters based on the monsters from a video game he liked. Okay, but what does the game mean to him, and how does it relate to his situation? Fran helps a volcano reunite with his wife. Does Fran have any personal connection to the concept of spousal separation? I think End Roll pulled this off better by tying just about everything back to Russell’s trauma in some way.

(Before you ask, I never played Alice: Madness Returns.)
