Franken is pretty amateurish and very stupid but... I dunno man, this one really got me. Initial impressions were that it was just going to be a series of 'lol so random!!!'-style jokes one after another, but... well, Franken isn't not that, but there is the bare minimum framework of a more sensible JRPG hiding in the back here, and it's just enough for the jokes to somehow constantly catch me off guard.
As funny as it is though (and I genuinely did find this one very funny, is my brain broken?), Franken really isn't much more than the sum of its humour. There's no real gameplay here per se. the aesthetics are pretty crude, etc etc...; but I think all that's fine? After all, Franken quite openly sets out to be a short shitpost of a game, and it achieves that goal marvellously. This is easily the best shitpost game that I've played, and I promise that's a compliment.
