franken is absolutely the kind of game a kid in a sitcom would play and be like "aw mom!!! you made me lose another guy!!! i need to collect the magic resonance stones and take them to thunder mountain!!!"
As a creator of a funny and humorous rpg game myself i really loved Franken. Not only it's exactly the type of game i love to play the most (meme-styled rpg) but it's also incredible how well written the game is... good job!
I just played through all of Franken. And honestly, it's such a fun, whimsical, and comedic adventure with neat characters (my favorite character is 3 btw).
The sprite art is really adorable and the comedy is funny.
I thought I would really enjoy this game cause I like the idea of humorous rpgs. However as the game went on the brand of humor became very stale for me. I know its subjective but a lot of the jokes were kind of lame and felt like they had been recycled from other games. The ending in particular was very hard to sit through.
However, if not for the ending, I would have said that it's a good game overall, because there are a few glimpses of brilliance throughout. Particularly when satirizing the tropes of the rpg genre, all of those jokes landed and were genuinely hilarious. But the jokes about the characters acting quirky and breaking the 4th wall were not funny and have already been done to death in games like Undertale.
Hilarious and so good. I found it through Dunkey’s video and it did not disappoint. I was excited to learn the game dev is female, as a lady myself (30F). Please make some more! I will pay money :)
edit: I highly recommend playing before watching Dunkey’s review for ultimate hilarity.
This might be not only the best game on Itch.io -- but the best game the world has ever seen. The game the world needed but didn't deserve. Legit had a blast with this, a hilarious game that never takes itself seriously. Lots of Undertale vibes with less depression.
For anyone who is trying to stream the game with obs, I recommend using display capture over game capture. On game capture, the game will be choppy and slow for some odd reason.
This is a bug in the OHRRPGCE engine when a Mac package is exported from a Windows computer. Here is a workaround you can try. Open the Terminal app, and use the cd command to switch to the folder where the "franken" app is located. Then run this command: "chmod +x franken.app/Contents/MacOS/ohrrpgce-game" I hope that helps! (And I hope I can fix the bug in a future version of the OHRRPGCE!)
A homage to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the game, or as I would put it, art, FRANKEN reinvents Shelley's anti-industrialist and feminist literature with a story of heartwarming redemption and nonbinary love. As well as this, FRANKEN impliments exciting AAA quality combat and immersive environments which leave a lasting impression on the player. It really makes you feel like Franken.

Yo, this was made in the OHRRPGCE?
Came here to ask that exact question. If both you and me can see the resemblance than it likely is :)
immediately on loading the game I was like "wait, this is OHRRPGCE" and sure enough in the tags (and credits) it confirmes it.
Is the main character we play as a girl?
they're whatever gender you want them to be
This game is freakin cool. The first actually funny IndieRPG
You know when TV shows reference videogames, and one character uses weird over-the-top lenguage that makes the game look stupid and convoluted?
That's what Franken is.
So do you like the game or not?
I loved it

I liked this game if you couldn't tell.
This is a fun, silly game! I agree with @pikminking100, however, I played the whole thing and had a good time. Thank you for making this!
I think you meant "OVER THERE" but you wrote "OVER TSERE"![]()

High quality shitpost. Those battle sprites are honestly pretty damn awesome looking!
Very fun game. Reminded me a lot of Dragon Warrior. Great work!

Made another video for the finale
added a .txt file that lists all the music used in the game!

It's a super short and simple game that makes for a fun filled hour anyone could just have.
Awesome review by Dunkey and your game seriously surprises me! <3
