  [h1]Overview[/h1] This is not a good game. (Quick video at end of overview) [i]Francisca[/i] seems like a very quick, very cheap attempt at the “walk around a small location and try to survive” genre. Unlike other games of its ilk, such as [i]Emily Wants to Play[/i] and [i]Boogeyman[/i], which have some sort of polish and gameplay, this has neither. The game runs in Unity Personal (because of course), and its window is named “Pet_Project”. Hopefully this was thrown together quickly as part of some school program. You play as a fourteen year old who has footsteps that sounds like he’s wearing heavy duty combat boots. Your parents have gone to Mexico, and you’re alone in the house. You decide to open a random present sitting on your porch, because obviously, which, also obviously, unleashes the ghost girl. Your goal is to survive seven nights by managing your fear meter, which seems to constantly go up but never actually drop on its own. The popup at the beginning that tells you how to play states that the farther she is from you, the more your fear goes up, which seems backwards. Shouldn’t you be more calm if she’s nowhere near you? Either way, since your fear skyrockets and it’s almost instant game over when she’s near you, it’s a bit confusing. You can close your eyes to lower your fear, and the game conveniently tells you that doing this will stop you from being able to see AND hear her. I’m pretty sure if I close my eyes, or even cover them with a blindfold, I’ll still be able to hear. Not sure what the developer was going for here. Setting up cameras and switching to their feeds to see where she is, and to try to avoid her, is an interesting but flawed mechanic. Your fear continues to rise, even though you know where she is in relation to you. Also, if you stand in front of a camera and switch to the feed, you’re invisible. There is nothing that shows up on the tablet. Perhaps there’s an ending where it turns out you’re a vampire. Would that explain how you suddenly lose your hearing when you can’t see? You may look at the screenshots and think the game looks pretty good for being one dollar, and you’d be right. It looks decent. However, it’s very choppy. Did you watch the trailer? That’s not the video that’s choppy, that’s the game. On a high-end system, it chugs along, and if you choose to bring out your tablet, it chugs even more. Downstairs in the kitchen, with the tablet open, looking through the camera also set up in the kitchen, Fraps showed me single-digit FPS. That’s just poor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrmMdVAMC3c [h1]Pros[/h1] [list][*]Cheap [*]Has trading cards, so you can make back a portion of the cost [*]Looks…not bad [/list] [h1]Cons[/h1] [list][*]Boring gameplay [*]Not much variation [*]Poorly optimized [*]Typical and expected jump scares [*]Odd design choices (closing eyes prevents hearing, further she is from you the more you are scared, etc.) [/list] [h1]Summary[/h1] [i]Francisca[/i] is not a good game. If you’re a badge collector, you can’t really go wrong for the price, but otherwise, avoid it. There are many other games that will offer you far more value and enjoyment.

  I really wanted to make this game function. I tried setting everything to as low as possible. It seems like this game started dev as a VR game, but then once the start screen ws done they realized it was too much. Then after deciding to keep the goofy menu with horrid controls which don't seem to work they went on the make a game that barely functions whatsoever. If you made it to the end of this the point is DONT BUY THIS GAME

  Ok its bad, like really bad. So bad that there is no saving grace here. Heres a list and a video if you want to see some gameplay. Pros +its for less than a dollar +the house looks good (but thats just to make feel like its worth buying) Cons -its not worth less than a dollar -the gameplay is fundamentally broken (the winning strategy is to walk into a closet, close your eyes, and do nothing) -useless game mechanics(hiding in cabinets, placing cameras) -no enemy AI to speak of (she just randomly ports around preset locations) -it runs terribly -Its not scary, not even a little bit -the audio is bad -the character design is awful(I could scrap out a better moddel in blender in an hour or less) UPDATE: Wondering why this game still has a very positive review score? Many of the reviews are indeed fake and possibly paid for. https://youtu.be/m_2VZ5eIywc

  Francisca. The game in which you have to hide from a ghost without being scared to death. This game is a mixture of both good and bad. It has potential but it runs slow, gets repetitive and costs money when it's the equivalent of a free indie horror game. The concept of the game is simple but fun, however the game defies logic. Apparently when you close your eyes you can't hear anything. Mind blown. The game runs slow unless you have a PC with a decent processor but it downloads super fast. Mind re-blown and then blown again. Overall it's fun but lacks basic content/features and the system requirements for it are ridiculous.

  I swear there was another title developed by [i]Kiddy[/i] that I played and reviewed in the past but this one does not show up anymore amongst the titles associated with him. It was similar to [i]Professional Thief[/i] except the game was very dark and we had to rob a haunted house. Back to Francisca: I already appreciate the proofread synopsis - too bad instructions given while we start the game (these 3-4 pop-ups can be considered the tutorial) have a lot of typos. Also, there isn't any point in putting down the cameras and checking their feed via our tablet as the sound the antagonist makes we can always hear. How loud it is determines how far the entity is. It looks horrendous - like a huge doll that was unfinished. I wonder if this is an asset flip. Essentially, every day plays out the same with slight modifications. On Day 2 the lights are suddenly switched off, on Day 3 something triggers the car alarm. It doesn't really matter as the countdown of 5 minutes does not begin until we pick up the present. Interestingly, it appears already on the master bedroom (so inside the house) on the 2nd stage. Our objective is to stay alive - our fear meter shouldn't reach 100. Closing our eyes helps to reduce it to zero but we have to keep moving on later stages as standing in one place eventually draws Franciska near. There isn't much else to be said about it. The sound is very generic (familiar from the previous title I played), the assets I also recognised and the graphics options with their different sets are pretty much useless. This is a typical cash grab with some card drops. No more, no less.

  The best action is pressing the right mouse button to close your eyes because then you can't see how bad this horror game is.
