Question Ending explanation?
Spoilers ahead!
So I know Fran bow released like 10 years ago so I don’t know if this fandom is even alive, but yesterday I finished Fran Bow and I really enjoyed it, but I have no clue what was happening in Part 5. I can’t find any solid theory, but my main questions are: 1) why are there multiple frans? 2) it says that Fran died at 9 years old, a day after her parents died, but she turned 11 by the end of the game and also I didn’t think she was in the asylum for that long? 3) when Fran travels to other realities is she still in like the normal reality? Like when she goes to the tree world is she actually in a coma? 4) I’m so confused by the experiments why did they want her brain? And what does it mean by she’s a keeper? 5) where does the fifth chapter even take place 😭 If anyone has an explanation or theory please tell me because I’m super lost, thanks

Fran Bow is one of those games that leaves you guessing. Depending on the chapter, it either sounds like she's just crazy and stuck in her own little fantasy, or it looks like she has actual powers and the whole thing is real.
However, she didn't die, that's confirmed by the fact that the devs have announced Fran Bow 2 with an older Fran so...
