Ranboo plays Fran Bow, a creepy adventure game that tells the story of Fran, a young girl struggling with a mental disorder and an unfair destiny.
After witnessing the gruesome and mysterious loss of her parents, found dismembered at their home, Fran rushes into the woods, together with her only friend, Mr. Midnight, a black cat that Fran had previously received as a present from her parents.

Helloooo
I DIDD
hi
Hi!!!
I love to eat spiders
Him playing the game takes me back on his Little Misfortune stream because somehow the two games are connected in terms of lore
Omg yess!! I remember that stream!!
Yes! They are made by the same team and i love their work im sp glad they are getting even more popularity from people re-visiting ir
LOOOORE
I'm pretty sure it's by the same people!
Wait maybe the monster aka mister voice is the same monster connected in this
I love how Ranboo is such a wholesome dude, and then we just universally agree as a fandom to suggest the most brutal story games to him
I mean what else would we do other than traumatize or favorite streamer
To be fair, he did it first
But then they force his opinion to not play Omori, Lol
@@IAmScared. yeah its very sad because its such a good game, but i can see why. It has a lot more triggering things in there in terms of self death
@@IAmScared. didnt he play offline though?
The games creator is a really nice lady who made Fran Bow during a really bad time in her life. She said she doing better but let's all still wish her love
Cheers I'll drink (lemonade) to that bro
I suppose you mean they had made the story. The game itself was designed by a crew of people rather than just one person.
Still waters run deep. I'm glad she's doing better 🥰
Ranboo missed an opportunity to call this series Franboo
@@Abimations7 yes he did
Ranboo: "this seems like fun!"
Me: oh god...
Lol yes
@Ranboo_Fan_Sam Yesssssss veryyyyyyy funnnnnnn
that was me when he played little miss fortune i felt so bad-
The pain in his voice when he had to kill the beetlepig...
And then the fury later when he realized it was for nothing
Yeah.
Nah cause we both started insulting it- expect i was cursing it out on my end-
:( poor guy.
“This game has a lot of stuff in it”
3 hour long stream:
And the fact that this is only part one-
@•pink_kloud• that was one part
600th like this was funny
@@ellenyourlocalduck5885 haha thank you thank you
Fun fact: the RUclips video is shorter then the actual stream. So the stream might have been longer then 3hours-
fun fact: The average high school kid today has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950s.
do with that what you will
that fact is not as fun as i had hoped ;-;
@@uhmhi4602 funner fact: some seahorses get married :D
@@nugget_da_chicken1461 that is a very fun fact :D
@Uhm Hi another fun fact is that bees often get tired and take naps in flowers
@@ainsley4401 that's nice
this game talks about a lot of heavy subjects so just in case, content warnings: gore, like a lot of gore, pedophilia, childhood sexual abuse, murder, suicidal tendecies, self harm, overall traumatic experiences, medical abuse and ableism. take care of yourself, sending love :)
o_o what have I gotten myself into-
Thank you for waning me wil i stil see this-yes bc its ramboo
I watched Markiplier play this and I'll be honest, I did not realize all of the topics covered in this game
Just curious how does the game talk about pedophilia and childhood SA? I'm genuinely curious
ah. Reminds me of the old days 🙂ah. How traumatic my childhood was. But in all seriousness this descirbes my childhood
“Death is nothing more then the absence of love. Once you can’t feel love, you die...even if your body still walks.” 2:18:01
gods, this game. Hello Charlotte, Omori, this. Its...
Watching him play this while being so sick that I was drifting in and out of consciousness was both painful and hilarious
I hope you get better soon ❤❤❤
@@animoo. aww thank you
I hope you get better soon friend ✨
Aw man hope you get better soon! If I may know, what do you have/why are you so sick? :0
BRO SAME IM ALSO REALLY REALLY SICK RN I CAN BARELY THINK STRAIGHT
If he hasn't played it already I hope Ranboo ends up playing Sally Face, I think he'd enjoy it
He hasn’t!
He said he might not play it
he's said hes not comfortable with playing it i think! /nm
@@alexishere80085 yeah he said stuff in the game triggers him on stream
@@alexishere80085 I remember him saying that - he said he played the intro and thought it wasn't his thing, so I assumed it was mainly the gore/heavy topics that bothered him. I was pretty surprised when he played Fran Bow considering they're sort of similar. Maybe now he's played this he might feel more comfortable playing SF? Idk, as long as he is fine with playing the games chat wants
Little Misfortune: *The game goes south real quick*
Fran Bow: *Exactly the same thing*
Well it’s the same game creator so-
20:18 I shall translate!
The patient has been sleeping almost all the time. She only wakes up to drink water. But I don’t think she remembers that. After drinking she goes back to sleep again.
She hasn’t been social for 3 days now.
Some kids have come around and asked about her and when she would come and play.
Only 10 mins and Ranboo’s Jaw already cracked.
Pff🤭
i found this game when i was really little (like 7 i think?) and it was quite traumatic cause none of the youtubers i watched play it gave any warnings i’m glad ranboo gave his audience a fair warning :)
I also watched this when i was younger, im happy ranboo didn’t read everything out loud because he won’t do the same to young kids that may be watching (but i still went back and read the papers ofc)
The same thing happened to me I agree
@@uhmhi4602 tbf I think his reasoning for not reading it out loud was that he wasn't comfortable with it (I mean, people can just read the note/text instead of hearing him read it). If any young kids were watching the stream then those notes aren't the only traumatic thing they would see or hear...
It's great he cares enough to warn us about the content of the game, though. A lot of streamers and youtubers just don't bother giving warnings
I watched it when I was probably 16 or something and watched Markiplier and Jacksepticeye. I wasn’t too affected since I’m not easily disturbed by stuff like this. I can definitely see how others would have a worse reaction.
I also watched when I was like 7 or 8 and I remember being so interested in it but so creeped out because Ihascupquake didn't put much warning over it lmao.
him being so emotionally attached to the beetlepig he started crying (he didn't but he got so sad lol) is so funny to me
IT WAS SO CUTE I want to give that thing a bow and hug😭
I DIDN'T KNOW HE PLAYED THIS TODAY, THIS IS ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE GAMES
ME TOO!
SAAAMEEE I'VE BEEN WAITING AGES FOR HIM TO PLAY THISSS
Best game other than minecraft and fnaf
Surprised he would play this
@@kenziebalhatchet3918 honestly same, but that doesn't mean I'm not ecstatic that he played it
Oml the first time I smiled during this whole thing was when ranboo said "stupid narcissist rat"
26:00
I love that he said
"So we don't always have to stay in the Upside Down."
I love that he referenced to Stranger Things!
1:25:55
Ranboo: struggling to find a combination of cat and hat
Me almost immediately: Cat + Hat = Chat
hcat
Chat=cat in french😂
OMG I've been wishing on this game like there's no tomorrow. Little Misfortune: done. Next up, Fran Bow!
Tysm Ranboo! This made me so happy
Fran bowl
I’m hoping he plays sally face
@@trinnycarter8595 Yes that would be awesome
@@trinnycarter8595 hasn't he said before that he won't play Sally Face because it has some pretty triggering things for him?
I like how in 2:15:34 Ranboo in a very small voice asked "Guys.. What's going on?" And I just- me too Ranboo. Me too
had my cat watch this with me and he decided to lay on my chest half way into the stream- this was a great core memory. watching a derealization horror stream with a cat on top of me :D
If only my cats would do that🥹
@@ScarTh_ same to my dog but my dog just snacks on my pants 🥲
That would make me feel better.
@@ScarTh_ if only I had a cat
that sounds perfect!
“Listen I don’t know what they’re putting in Flintstones gummies nowadays but..”
I died I can’t do this😭
I like how the shadows are like hugging, sitting beside, or just hanging out with the kids, even if they are really creepy
I don't as much because I know they're demons.🤐
@@Ur_Therapist WELP
This is a year old comment but that is definetly not "hugging" most of the time lmao
@@c.b.m.a1671 Yeah, _especially_ the girl whose otherworld self is a doll. _Those handprints... eugh..._
@@submariNervousits directly stated in the game that the girl your talking about was sexually abused, so your right.
Reading the files on the children is heart breaking oh my gosh
Hey, the beetle pig is gone, but at least you got your cat!
Edit: *oh.*
Ah yes, Ranboo plays emotionally distressing games run!
When he kills the beetle pig and sees it’s a rat instead of mr.midnight is so funny
“Helloooo everyone” never fails to give me a smile! :D 🥰
I still love “**gasp** Hi chat!!”
@@comfrey6569 yessss same
I know!!💕
I’m so glad that Ranboo thinks that the way mental illness was treated was wrong. I can tell he is a humane person that I (most likely) will trust now and in the future for sure.
1:42:51
Me: “Maybe if we kill them…” >:]
Ranboo: “KÍŁŁ 😀🔪”
Me: 0-o “…Well dang…”
My inner gremlin: “KING BOOBER WE CRAVE VĪØŁĘÑĆĘ!!”
i just noticed something... those babies (1:32:52) never got released like the sisters did. and those babies were unaware of what was happening. they just were connected, without any way of asking for help. i feel uneasy now oh god. they're connected. they're faces. WHY AM I LIKE THIS I FEEL LIKE CRYING NOW
I think this game is connected to little misfortunes. I am pretty sure that Fran Bow is either a prequel or a sequel if you see little misfortunes than you will find a lot of similarities because of the description of the characters and storyline.
yup same universe and (I think) creators.
It’s the same universe and creators. But Fran bow was made before LMF. I don’t know where they are in a in-universe timeline.
Yooooo! Watch SuperHorrorBro's take on this one. I really liked his theories on both games. But I preffered the Little Misfortune one.
I remember when I was a little kid I watched someone play franbow when it had just came out and I was eating popcorn at the time so I don't know what in the right mind gave me the idea that "oh! Maybe I should just act like these pieces of popcorn were my terrible family members brains" and I had hot sauce on my popcorn so I went and said "with just a little bit of blood" and know I look back at it like "damn kids are messed up".
I played this game when it first came out when I was 15 and watched different playthroughs. As an adult, the things the kids are going through just breaks my heart in a way I didn't completely understand as a teenager. I just understand more of the references and horror, like the one girl being a doll and the doll in her bed having handprints all over it.
I was so glad when Ranboo didn't say it out loud when he read about the little girl. It made my heart break to hear him be so upset :(
Ranboo playing Fran Bow brings us one step closer to him hoooopefully picking up Omori
He was going to last year, but some gatekeepers didn't let him
@@s4mIsh3r3 I saw, i hate it here, i hope he feels more open to playing it sometime in the future though :(
@@linachuwu9219 me too :']
Not really. Kinda tired of top-down rpg games
@@JMoney_TheGangster have you finished it? have you gotten halfway?
I'm just waiting for them to realize that Fran Bow and Little Miss Fortune are connected in the story line. 😂
WAIT REALLY!?!? How so?
@@-toby-329 Both games are by the same team, and in Little Misfortune, Benjamin's diary mentions a bunch of lore that is mentioned and/or talked about in Fran Bow (such as the Five Realms of Essential Existence). Additionally, in the ending of Little Misfortune, when Misfortune and Benjamin walk towards the door where she meets the death lady, after each lightning strike a character from Fran Bow is shown, including Itward.
With new games from them on the way set in the Fran Bow universe, I can't wait to learn more about this connected world.
And what’s great abt this is that the little girl who likes to draw her paper said that she was actually getting help so they were able to do at least one good thing
I remember watching fran bow playthroughs when I was younger and watching ranboo play the game. it brings back nostalgia and I genuinely love watching ranboo play games like this. :)))
Honestly wasn't expecting for ranboo to play this, forgot that Fran Bow was my favorite :)
I was excited when i saw this :')
Edit: 1:10:32 an i thought i was the only one who found that beetlepig cute--
I WANNA GIVE IT A BOW AND A HUG😭😭
I love how this goes from traumatic to a fever dream.
"Did...... did someone just say 'so no head' in response to the decapitation?" - ranboo
I actually named my rabbit after Mr. Midnight
Since she's a girl, she is Ms. Midnight
1:51:49 - "Guys, just putting TW doesn't do crap." THANK YOU RANBOO, GOD I HATE WHEN PEOPLE JUST SAY 'OH TW BTW' WITH NO INDICATION AS TO WHAT ITS FOR
I love the metaphors in this game. So much. It inspires my writing.
This game takes place in an early 1900s asylum, and as most people should know if they’ve paid attention to history class, that girls back in those times where treated like objects. And I’d think that it wouldn’t help any being in an asylum while being treated like that. But hey, at lest the ending is nice!
Game: Fran Bow
Me: *Gets rid of the 'F' and changes the 'W' to a 'o'*
Also me: Perfect 👌
Yes, perfect 👌
perfection 👌
Oh-ho no you did not!!🤭😵
@@Ur_Therapist Oh but I did.. >:)
I’m not going to lie, I fell asleep just listening to Ranboo’s voice. Even when they are basically screaming, their voice is quite calming to me. I’m also sleep deprived, so do with that as you wish.
grateful ranboos so understanding for mental health issues and care
I was just watching his Little Misfortune vod and thinking "huh, what if he played Fran Bow"
AND HERE IT IS 👍👍
Fran has committed three murders to get her cat...she's ten.
Gameplay begins at 4:35 :)
Thanks:)
Thank you I don’t have the patience to wait
This is like the reverse of little miss fortune, the start was all horrible and bad and then 2 hours later we have a divorced mountain
This game: A story game with parents? NOT FOR LONG, BUDDY!
Me, coming from the little misfortune vod: a story game connected to another one? Ooooo where da lil pine cones
so for people wondering. clara and mia were born when fran’s mother and her aunt (whom are twins) were children. approximately 5-6 years old. dr leon was in this picture along with oswald and the nurse at the beginning of the game (the rude one)
This game is so violent but I look exactly like Fran, plus I just love it
YEEAHHHH! I sadly wasn’t there for this stream so I’m excited for the VOD! :D
Me too
yeah i was so incredibly disappointed in myself cause i was at school while he streamed this iwhejgkihifktj
On the bright side, its not finished yet :)
“Oh now I don’t have to stay in the upside down!” Yes. Unless your name is will.
3:09:00 rodrigo’s family before they died and left him on a boardwalk at a lake to get picked up by little misfortune and fed to a bird
This might just be nothing but starting at 27:50, when Fran takes the pills, you can see hand prints on certain areas of the other girls body, and on her document it says she was SA’d. Could the hand prints have something to do with that or be linked to what happened to her? Just something I noticed.
Ya it is probably related to her past and what she has been through
I just love Fran Bow
Seeing Ranboo playing it just makes my day
during ww2 in Germany a Family brought their child back from an asylum and like 4 months later they get an letter stating their son has sadly passed away and send an urn with ash in it too we had an artical about that in our history book that shit was scary
i need some context *please*
“We don’t always have to stay in the upside down…”
ST MY BELOVED. This amused me so much though.
I feel like the pills are showing her what's really going on. That's why when in the house, she would see where she really is - the well. To sort of represent how we can choose to see reality. But we can also choose not to, which can sometimes help us solve problems (since it's a new perspective), but in the end reality will always be behind everything. And the names of the characters Fran loves... Mr. Midnight and Aunt Grace. Midnight could mean that in our darkest times, we'll find help from those who we really trust and love and who love us back. That's why Mr. Midnight helps us and comforts us. And we're searching for Aunt Grace because in order to exist in a twisted world, we need to show it grace (accept it and be loving) and be shown grace ourselves. I'm only two hours into this episode though, so I feel like anything could happen and meanings could've already been found. But so far, besides the message I've received from it, I enjoy the game as a whole very much. And I like how Ranboo is interacting with the world.
Ranboo having a mental breakdown over killing a fictional animal is wholesome
Staying home from school since I’m quite sick, and watching Ranboo streams. Epic
Sameee
Been watching this. First time in years I’ve had nightmares because of something I watched, I’m very happy about that though tbh. This is so cool to watch man.
Ranboo: don’t worry I was really good at frogger. *immediately dies*
i watched a six hour playthrough of fran bow literally a week ago and now ranboo is playing it? sometimes the universe gives me reasons to not commit die and i love that
There's more to life than just video games too.
Ranboo saying how bad the rat is because it wasn't the cat and he had to UNALIVE a beetlepig is both the funniest thing and saddest thing ever. Like poor beetlepig :( it was smiling too!
I just realized ranboo says like more than the average person each sentence
It's because he's, like, Californian
@@Minceraft69 lmao
The amount of times he called the rat dumb 🤣🤣🤣
the chat spamming Fundy when he saw the fox 💀💀
that 69 years ago got me
Love it how he warns us at the start so we know what to expect
Yes! I have been waiting for him to play this!
idk why but ever since i first discovered fran bow it became my comfort game (i was 8 now i am 21)
due to me dealing with schizophrenia since like forever it made me somehow happy to see that there are other people (fran) that also see weird ass things and it made me feel less like a freak
now i can deal with my schizophrenia better but sometimes it’s hard due to me not taking pills for it anymore cause they made me lose weight very fast
but there are also some advantages to it because i don’t get scared that fast and when someone sneaks up to me to scare me i just don’t flinch (because of that i get called a ‘literal god’ by my friends)
but i am sorry for everyone out there that has to deal with the same as me
trust me
it’ll get better someday
2:57:43
the pure pain in his voice actually scared me TwT
I don't want Dr Palontras to be hurt 😭
The “sky axolotl” has a name. Don’t you dare disrespect Dr. Palontras
My apologies, I forgot his name since it was like- two in the morning, I will fix this immediately
@@nugget_da_chicken1461 understandable, have a fantastic day
This was your first stream I actually got to watch live
i didn't see it because of counseling for 2 hours and 1 hour of school
hi!! this comment is so sweet but I wanted to let you know that this channel isn’t run by Ranboo himself! I’m pretty sure it’s run by a fan :)
@@billylili Oof well then. Thank you, Love
@@visionizel Yeah, I got home from school and he was streaming then had to leave for therapy :p the worlds way of saying I watch too much Ranboo
@@OsoTheFungi thats true
I first knew this game when Jacksepticeye played through it. Awesome to see Ranbus play it! Very nostalgic.
Very nostalgic, I watched it from some german gaming channel I now don't like anymore xd
YES ANOTHER RANBOO LIVE STREAM!!
I FINALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO WATCH!!🥳
I saw ranboos generation loss video in that channel and my god I am sooo excited it’s gonna be so cool!!
Anyways tysm for uploading these they make my day bc I don’t have twitch so yeah!!
Anyways to whoever’s reading this I hope you have an amazing day!!
I’m super excited for it, too. I have a love hate relationship with horror games, sooo, yeah. I LOVED the GL teaser, so mysterious! Super cool!
I hope *you* and whoever else reads this also has an amazing day! ❤️❤️
@@comfrey6569 Haha Same!!
And Broo the gl teaser was amazing I’m genuinely so excited for it!!
And Awhh you too!!!
@@sleepyylmao So am I!
I meant to say thanks for talking about having a good day in your original comment, you’re so sweet!
@@comfrey6569 Ohh sorry I didn’t see my comment I forgot I put the have a amazing day thing there!!
And Ty!! :]
@@sleepyylmao No, you’re completely fine!
As somebody who hyper fixated on this game a LOT. I completely forgot how dark it gets.
I feel so bad for the poor beetlepig omg 😭 It even smiles 😭 It's very last smile before it gets chopped off 😭
I know ranboo wont see this, but dont worry ranboo, the beetlepig died happy, u gave him something he enjoyed as his last meal therefore making his last memory a happy one, instead of a scared one.
Thank you for saying that it makes me feel better
Gotta love how the game is being nice in the beginning but he knows is about to go really bad 🙂
3:16:28 has me smiling in embarrassment for Ranboo
I dont think i should be watching this at 4am
I watched this with Jacksepticeye and am only now realizing how intense this game was. Definitely shouldn't have watched this when I was so young
I have watched this four times after I found it. Still getting better each time.
31:37 thats messed up :(
1:00:11 how did he just figure this out?
1:10:30 NOO ITS SO CUTE :(
1:16:47 AHSJKDF
1:18:59 D:
1:29:27 what.
1:33:56 :D
1:42:57 yes
2:12:18 HUH
2:14:43 FINALLY
I just love the like 20 second silence at 1:16:03
This stream was so nostalgic to me, I used to play a game like this when I was younger, except it was less creepy, i don’t remember what it’s called but it had the same style and animation as this game
Little Misfortunes? It's less visually creepy, anyway, although it's a pretty recent game
perhaps the game was "Sally face"
33:11 He definitely knows these stuff because he's researching for Generation Loss.
I love Ranboo's reactions when taking the pills! I've played the game and ik everything abt it
"Is that an Axolotol?" Bro when I first watched somebody else play this I had the Same reaction lol
YOO HE PLAYED FRANBOW
These games, I enjoy these games because how the kid is reacting to all this is exactly how a kid would react because they don’t have a concept of what’s happening, it puts your mind in the place of what a child would see, the concept is interesting and spot on to what it’s showing.
Yo eh visto este juego antes pero aún así me emociona ver a ramboo jugarlo ^^
