Such a short and simple game, but extremely charming. Franken is an RPG that pokes fun at all the tropes RPGs have built up over the years but does so in a way that feels fresh and not as in your face as other meta-games. I also loved how fun and colorful all of the sprites were.

There were a handful of moments that really got me with how on the nose it was and that ending is just a masterpiece of video game writing. Despite how meta the writing was it really felt more like a love letter to old RPGs rather than it being a malicious critique of the genre. The game is so short and such a fun time that this is one of my strongest recommendations for a free game.
