Fran Bow 6: Into the AIR!!

So we got out of the magical land of trees and plants, and are on our way back home, supposedly. Apparently we are doing that via an aircraft of some sort. This this is piloted by an apparently friendly skeleton-type character. That kind of thing is becoming par for the course in this game. Ever wierder.

First I had to finish solving all the puzzles for the Grand Wizard, who is a nice guy. I did get a hint from the CJU videos, but mostly, again, I figured it out for myself. There wasn't much left to do--I was nearly at the end of Chapter 3. Still, Fran has been confronted with more grisly monsters, one of which claimed to be her and told her she needed to kill Mr. Midnight. Fran, of course, would never fall for that.

However, there have been and continue to be some rather lofty pieces of advice about how Fran must find solutions to her problems, and will do so when she is "ready." Upon leaving the magical land, we have yet another puzzle: this time a platformer. Fran has to jump over rocks and chasms to escape a pursuing monster. But I got a Steam achievement for doing it!

Now we've met a skeleton-like creature who has taken us up into the sky, with the idea that he's taking us home. Or is he taking us to hell? Difficult to say, because we have our pills back now, and those certainly do give us a different perspective on the world. At the moment I'm on the aircraft solving some rather simple puzzles that look rather complicated. But they're not, because as the game says, we have everything we need, including instructions, on how to solve them. 

I left it there. I'm sad to leave the pleasant land of living trees and vegetables to go back into a darker realm, but I am advancing in the game. 

Whatever could be next?

Fran Bow 5: Math is Hard

Still in the pleasant land of trees and plants, which is starting to experience some intrusions from the nasty world of the dark monsters. These appear to be trying to trick Fran into succumbing to them, but fortunately she refuses! 

Still going through the little puzzles, some of which aren't all that obvious. You do have to think a bit. I'm still following CJU's videos, but I'm keeping ahead of him and have managed to solve a good 90% of it by myself. 

However, I ran into a math puzzle. It would be fairly easy for most people, because the clues are right there by the puzzle, but I do not do arithmetic. I do not do it, Sam I am. I fiddled with it and actually figured out how it should be done--if I had been able to do the arithmetic. I do not find arithmetic pleasant. I copied what CJU had. 

One fun thing about this area is that you have the ability to change the seasons whenever you like. This is the key to most of the puzzles. When you can't do something in one season, you can do it in another season. 

Anyway, I'm still enjoying it, but I would rather like to move on. I'm just starting CJU's 11th video (I think), and he has 17 for this game. So, there is still quite a lot of game to go.

Until next time!
