FRAN BOW and Childhood Trauma

heehee happy early thanksgivingggg
may take a bit of a break over the holidays...I'll try to get more vids out asap but I'll be doing a lot of travelling, my channel might run dry until January

[@graymads]

Good to see the old school youtube vibe thrive. Been enjoying your channel quite a bit, reminds me a lot of Jordan Underneath.

[@sonder1028]

Thank you!! :) so glad you enjoy

[@judas_christ01]

I still find myself coming up with new theories for Cry of Fear to this day

[@luniari7242]

1:50 OMG YOU JUST MADE MY WHOLE YEAR! I had vivid memories of this game I remembered all of the mechanics ALL OF IT. BUT I JUST COULDN'T FIND IT MENTIONED ANYWHERE AND I DIDN'T REMEMBER THE NAME! For the past like 5 years I wasn't sure if I made this whole game up.

[@sonder1028]

Haha yeah knock knock has become a bit of a deep cut

[@doctorofallrats]

4:35 You know, if I had a nickel for every game concerning whimsical worlds and mental disorder, which also had a doctor-adjacent character with brown hair and round glasses, I'd have two nickels. Not a lot, but weird that it happened twice. ...granted, the two characters I'm thinking about are polar opposites given the spoilers, but still. Weird.

[@sonder1028]

LMAO

[@Mandlbrot]

"Oh shit, that's Ozzy Osborne, RUN!" Made my choke with a laugh Oh my god

[@Cheesecake_666]

Woo, new upload. This is becoming my new comfort KZbin channel.

[@sonder1028]

That makes me so happy to hear ☺️

[@magnenoalex2]

Amen I feel the same

[@Mandlbrot]

Also, Oh my gosh, Bat AND ROSA???? This day is spooky heaven!!

[@sonder1028]

They’re the stinky duo 😊

[@Mandlbrot]

Oh my God "or maybe I like to read too deeply into spooky video games, I don't know.. here's a bloody head" I forgot about that from your Og video! Haha! Love it!!

[@Mandlbrot]

Sra, did you not see what you did 8:10?: "I'm hungry" and a crunchity-munchity of pills while making direct eye contact with the camera? It was this move, and this move alone that could be blamed for your Jordan Underneath niche. I love it, you're killing it!

[@bloo_keyz7159]

I Absolutely adored watching and listening to this and I enjoyed hearing your take on this! in my opinion this all makes sense to me and it like explains a lot i especially liked the part where you brung back fran being told she was not able to stay because she wasnt ready yet

[@sonder1028]

So glad you liked it! :)

[@cherry2261]

ouuuhhh emo giiiirl bless me with a new video emo giiiirlll yaaayyyy

[@calebh373]

*Spoilers* It should be noted that the events of Little Misfortune confirm that the events of all KillMonday games are entirely literal. Everything Fran Bow experiences is real, in some sense, symbolic or otherwise. You can infer symbolic meaning from Fran Bow, but there is also a much larger story taking place.

[@Boon_4444]

You need way more views wtf?? These are awesome

[@sonder1028]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@toysvilltvstudios2.072]

This game is great. I Love it. ^^

[@TABandiTA]

Oh, one of my favorite games I've played as a teenager! I loved how the reality and the other worlds started to mix in Fran's mind, not knowing what is real anymore. And really unique art style too. Btw. Have you ever read goodnight punpun? It's a f up and depressive manga, but I think you will enjoy it.

[@sonder1028]

It’s on my reading list actually!

[@insertedgynamehere___969]

Ithersta doesn't seem to be Fran's mental coping mechanism. Spoiler warning for little Misfortune: We spot Itward in the game "Little Misfortune" which would

[@koffeenkiwi]

Ignore this if you want but doesn't the game take place in N*zi Germany, from the names (Fran and Oswald being the most obvious), to the twin experiments and idk if this part us inspired or not but the siren from the hospital when Fran leaves sounds like a b*mb siren from that time period. Idk for sure because I'm tied between England and Germany for the location but I'm fairly certain this isn't America.

[@sonder1028]

Oh that's interesting! I'm not sure why I assumed it was America, both of those seem plausible

[@koffeenkiwi]

@@sonder1028 yeah back when the game got popular in like 2016 or something like that there was a lot of discourse about where the game took place

[@princerobles6059]

Another great video! Some games I think you might like or shit you may already know because you’re cultured but if you can check out Mad Father, Misao and lastly World or Horror. I think you’d make some good videos on these games but World of Horror is a rogue like game so it might take you awhile too get through everything so it’s an investment for sure lol

[@sonder1028]

Thank you! I have such fond memories of Mad Father, never played misao and I’m familiar with world of horror but haven’t played, I’ll need to check those two out!

[@princerobles6059]

If you liked Mad Father I think you’d love Misao! Very similar in play style!

[@very_nervous133]

New Coffin Cake video!!!! Yeeeeees!!!!!

[@BunnyEcho1]

Loved the video Buttt Im gonna sit in my corner And pretend that all of it was real Ans she got to live happly ever after with her friends

[@sonder1028]

Honestly, fair

[@garbagecrow9886]

“When you come down from the pills-“ Imma be annoying here, sorry, but isn’t it supposed to be when you take the pills that you then see Fran inside a well instead of the twins’ house?

[@sonder1028]

Oh wait…actually I think u might be right 0.0

[@sharunais]

Were you perhaps inspired by Jordan Underneath? Because this video just gave me some weird, gender-bent nostalgia

[@magnenoalex2]

Her entire channel has done that for me lol.

[@sonder1028]

Yeah I’ve definitely been influenced by him! I think our taste in games especially is quite similar. Also people like Caddicarus, pushinguproses, and similar game review channels have inspired me a lot

[@totoro3007]

What is the game at 1:43?

[@sonder1028]

It’s called Presentable Liberty, underrated lil thing!

[@onechippyboi]

This is (at least) the third game you've covered that is about a mentally ill young girl with severe trauma. Might as well just make a series about games featuring psychosis/trauma!

[@sonder1028]

Honestly, I may have to at some point haha. It’s funny how I’ve liked all of these games for so long but didn’t realize how connected they were until talking about them

[@onechippyboi]

@@sonder1028 So... Serial Experiments Lain video when? 🙂

[@sonder1028]

Heehee soon…(hopefully)

[@onechippyboi]

@@sonder1028 No rush though! Quality > Quantity, we'll still be here 😊

[@cherry2261]

life story of every emo girl ever LOL
