Had a really fun time playing it. Lots of good dialogue that didn't feel like "too much" and if I didn't try to look at everything possible it has a good length to it for what it is. BTW love the art. Good shit.
This was awesome! Love the inspiration from classics like Dragon Quest, and the humor was top notch! I found myself laughing at almost all dialogue. The art and music were also phenomenal, all around just a fantastic little adventure for anyone that has about an hour and likes old JRPGs! Props to the developers! P.S. 3-Man is the best.
I just made an account to say how awesome this game is. In this state I'd already pay money for it. My favourite part was looking up the morse code. It gave me childhood flashbacks to Pokemon Ruby where you had to translate braille. The music is a solid 10/10. Also huge thank you for making a Linux release.
cute art, some funny moments, and obviously great character designs. i was expecting an rpg but this definitely feels more like a walking sim (the battle system is so rudimentary that it may as well be replaced by a sign saying 'just fight everything you see', theres no actual roleplaying, the only choice is whether to see every characters dialogue or not). pretty good way to spend half an hour but it doesnt feel like a game i guess
Hi, I have tryed to run the app in MACOS. At First read your README, then I ve put the app to Finder to install the app. Then I go to Terminal and put sudo chmod -R +x/Applications/franken.app/Contents/MacOS. Then I try to start in Applications in Finder with ctrl and open. "This Programm can not open"
If you still can't get it to work, you can instead download a Mac version of the OHRRPGCE (the engine the game was made with) and use it to run the .rpg file from any of the downloads (it's inside franken.app).
Hi splendidland, I hope you develop it for Android/Chromebook or Switch, I would love to download and play it, but I only have an android phone, Chromebook, android tablet, and consoles. I don't have a PC that can download your game but I would love to play it though, it looks fun!
I don't think it works. I try to run the game and it says cannot execute binary file: Exec format error. I tried both Linux versions and both said the same thing.
Hi there, Jake from Spacefarer Games here. Would you be interested in publishing this game for Switch? We can definately see a market for it there. Contact me at jake@spacefarergames.com to discuss further.
i dont play many indie games like this but i think i saw joko streaming it on twitch and after playing it, its a really good game, funny, enjoyable, and simple. Thank you for creating such a great game hope to see you make another.
Is it normal that when fullscreen the game will still not stretch but instead be aligned top left leaving black bars on the right and bottom part of the screen? (on linux at least)

It was lovely. Great writing. Perfect pacing. Really enjoyed the end!
This is a fantastic game. Great writing, art, and design. One of the most charming game experiences I've ever found on itch.io.
7/10 for random Blakes 7 music usage
+3/10 for character called 3
Total 10/20 because I failed math

This was exceptionally funny
Haha loved this! Great sense of humour, and all-round fun game to play.
A true work of art.
Soundtrack is real good. Gives vibes of OFF to me, which may tell you something if you're familiar with that game. Worth the time put in to play it.
I loved this!
If you love Final Fantasy II (aka Final antasy 4) you will LOVE this one.
Honestly, this is more than just a joke game. I loved the soundtrack and the characters and the art and in general this game made me really happy.
what the heck was that i loved it
Great game!

i role played as a total bad ass, personally
my sweet love
Yamato references/10. which is good
a yamato influence that i don't expect anyone to notice is that i based the scorpion design somewhat on the gamillas battleships
extremely based as the kids say
have u considered making an artbook? i rly love the sprites in this game
Thank you for Linux support!
very silly game, glad dunkey made a video bout it
This was an enjoyable experience. Thank you. :)

There should be a space after the +x.
If you still can't get it to work, you can instead download a Mac version of the OHRRPGCE (the engine the game was made with) and use it to run the .rpg file from any of the downloads (it's inside franken.app).
Thank you kindly for your help, when I was home from work I will try do so and tell you what happends.
LOL Thx it was really just the space after the +x. Nothing more. Game is running now. :-)
I just finished it and I'm absolutely on love with the entire soundtrack. Fantastic work, everyone!

If your chromebook supports a linux container you could give the linux version a shot.
how would I know if it does? How would I get the Linux container?
You can check out this google support page.
It might involve some fiddling with the linux terminal to extract the tar.gz file in order to run the game.
To extract, use:
cd /[folder where the linux version is]
sudo tar -xf [linux version].tar.gz
That should create a folder with the same name as the tar file. cd (change directory) to that folder and I think you can run the game with
./[game]
It's a bit complicated and I'm not sure this will work but good luck.
which one should I Download? The x86 one or the x86_64 one? What is the difference between the two?
I don't think it works. I try to run the game and it says cannot execute binary file: Exec format error. I tried both Linux versions and both said the same thing.
played thru this entire game 2day after seeing dunkey’s video. absolutely charming homage to old school RPGs! love this funny little game so much
This was an absolutely beautiful game. You did a wonderful job, and I'm impressed by so many aspects of this game.
Keep up the grand work.
