Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Farnham Fables is a small, eccentric narrative adventure developed by Ethrea Dreams and published by Sometimes You that deliberately leans into oddity, experimentation, and retro sensibilities.
55 of 234 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Well, the short gameplay is one, since I would love to have enjoyed a bit more, but I can understand since it is an episode-based work.
14 of 234 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visually, Farnham Fables adopts a deliberately simple, retro pixel-art style that evokes early PC adventure games.
