Upon discovering one of the three secret invitations concealed within a box of Frankie's branded cereal, you embrace the challenge of competing against two other contestants in what initially appears to be a delightful parkour game show. However, while still rooted in parkour and obstacle courses, this game show takes an unexpected deadly turn. Frankie, Henry Hotline, and the other characters deviate from their friendly cartoon personas, revealing a more lifelike and sinister nature. As you traverse intricate and challenging parkour levels and obstacle courses, you must strive to emerge victorious while you and your fellow contestants are systematically eliminated...

Stealthily navigate around challenging parkour courses

Finding Frankie invites you to a true experience of terror as you compete in a horrific twisted parkour show. Stealthily navigate around horrifying characters and swing through challenging parkour courses.

This was one of those games where I felt, at first, that I needed a tutorial to get me through the tutorial. It took me much longer than it should have to get to grips with the mechanics. Having said that, once I'd managed to fumble my way through, the game soon started to become a lot of fun.

It's not really as much of a horror game as it's marketed as. While there's real sense of urgency and jeopardy as you speed run through the game, with horrific-looking mascots snapping at your heels at every turn, it's more angled towards jump scares. But once you know they are coming, they sort of lose their impact.

There's a good variety of parkour mechanics on display here, including bar swinging, wall jumping, rail grinding, trampoline hopping, and more.

While it's not the sort of game I'd normally play, it's certainly one that parkour and speed run lovers will enjoy.
