Finding Frankie throws players into what first appears to be a lighthearted challenge inside a vibrant indoor obstacle course. The tone quickly darkens as contestants realize the colorful mascots are not actors in costumes, but mechanical predators. The game shifts from fun to survival as players discover they’re trapped inside a twisted competition where failure comes with deadly consequences.
Escaping Through Movement and Skill
Navigating the game requires mastery of movement and quick thinking. Players use first-person parkour to leap between platforms, swing from bars, and slide through tight corridors. Each new area introduces fresh hazards and routes, all while robotic enemies like Frankie and others patrol nearby zones. Every section becomes more dangerous, forcing players to learn mechanics quickly or risk being caught.
Gameplay Features:
· First-person parkour with complex jump and slide mechanics
· Multiple rooms filled with environmental puzzles and traps
· Hostile mascot characters that chase and track the player
· Flashlight and radar mechanics provided by a duck-like assistant
· Short but dense gameplay session with intense pacing
High Stakes and Fast Decisions
The suspense grows as each segment introduces new chase sequences and timing-based obstacles. The enemy mascots react to sound and movement, adding a stealth layer to the gameplay. Some zones require complete silence, while others force players to sprint toward switches under pressure. Combining speed and strategy becomes the key to progression, especially when backtracking is impossible and danger is always near.
One Shot at Escape
Finding Frankie is designed to be completed in a short time, but it makes full use of its limited runtime. With no downtime between challenges and each new section feeling distinct, the game keeps tension high until the end. Players who enjoy compact horror experiences built around physical gameplay will find the game’s blend of pressure, puzzles, and platforming rewarding—and a little unsettling.
