In the final installment, Fran Bow Chapter 5, Fran must navigate the most dangerous and surreal environments yet to find her aunt Grace and uncover the mystery behind her parents' murder. This chapter brings the dark tale to a close with intricate puzzles, shocking revelations, and a conclusion that challenges the player's perception of sanity.

Our Expert Score
This is it—the grand, blood-soaked finale of Fran's odyssey. Chapter 5 is a fever dream of a conclusion that manages to tie together the disparate threads of Fran’s trauma and the supernatural elements of the world. It is easily the most intense chapter, both in terms of its imagery and its narrative weight. The puzzles in the hospital setting are particularly clever, forcing players to manipulate the very fabric of Fran's memories and her surroundings to reach the truth.
Technically and artistically, Killmonday Games outdid themselves here. The sound design is chilling, and the climax is one of the most memorable endings in indie gaming history. It doesn't provide easy answers, which fits the theme of the game perfectly. It’s a harrowing, beautiful, and ultimately cathartic end to one of the most unique horror stories ever told on mobile. If you've made it this far, Chapter 5 will haunt you long after the credits roll.

LOVE MY FAVVV
Thu Jun 22 2023 Franbownum1So after playing franbow and then playing little misfortune I LOVE this series and for people that are saying chapter five left them confused obviously you weren’t into the gameplay as much as u should’ve been sorry not sorry I feel it was the only way it should’ve ended and if you play little misfortune it does clear ALL of it up it’s insane how a Apple game can literally change your mindset and your view on everything I LOVE franbow will always be TOP 1 best game out there.
But the ending......?
Sun Apr 03 2016 VdizzieThe five chapters that comprise Fran Bow were extremely enjoyable to play. The first four chapters were especially mesmerizing and captivating however, the second half of Chapter 5 felt rushed. I feel as if a lot could have been added to help enhance the story line and it would have not only extended the gameplay but it would serve to clear up a lot of the confusion that only resulted, for me at least, in a weak conclusion of the plot. The experience of Chapter 5 was overwhelmingly anti-climatic in my opinion.
Love the storyline & the puzzles
Wed Oct 23 2019 HesidGreat story and interacting with characters. Would recommend this to book readers who like to immerse themselves in a story. Loved Fran and Mr Midnight! The only frustration I encountered was the puzzle that required a very specific way of clicking even though I had the right answer. Fortunately, this happens on occasion and didn’t stop me from purchasing the other chapters. Wonderful artwork makes this even more enjoyable to play.
So great!!
Thu Jun 02 2016 mmmorningstarHands down the best point and click adventure game that I've played in years!!!! My second favorite point and click after maniac mansion. Please please come out with more games like this series!!!!!!! Totally loved it, no complaints at all and I'm picky about my point and click adventure games. A+ times a billion
A disappointing conclusion to a good series
Tue Sep 13 2016 infinitelineI really enjoyed the Fran Bow series overall, but this last chapter is really incomplete. The developers rushed through the ending and left so many things up in the air that it makes you feel like they only had two weeks left on their office lease with 2 months of work left to do. It's a shame, as the conclusion to the story could have nicely wrapped up a really interesting and thoughtful series. It doesn't even leave you with a sense of wonder, just an abrupt feeling of being left hanging.
Wow!!!
Fri Jun 16 2017 SleepysnailsI wish and can only hope for more in the future! The storyline did need closure, but there are plenty of openings to continue! Yes, I do agree that this last one seemed shorter than the rest...? But it was a great gameplay from chapter 1 and all the way to 5! I will say through out this entire series I had only used a walkthrough 3 times until I got to this last one.... for me, there were a few "non logical" way that the puzzles needed to be solved. But, it's all good! Please make more!!!!
It can’t be over
Fri Nov 10 2017 HausSogaPlayed all chapters in 1.5 days. Sucked me in, loved it. Chapter 5 ended leaving me feeling much like many classic films do; really...is that it??? Left feeling unfulfilled. Will there be more chapters???
Five more minutes! Please! Tie loose ends... Sequel?
Fri May 06 2016 akazikianTOUR DE FORCE wonderful! I laughed, I cried; I was mad, angry, disgusted, curious, delighted, and overjoyed. This is the best game of its type ever. No joke. That two people with no technical background developed it is amazing. I love you guys!
