Finding Frankie

Game information

Finding Frankie is a movement-based horror game that places the player inside a strange obstacle course filled with threats and hidden surprises. The goal is to navigate a series of dangerous environments while being hunted by animatronic mascots. Players must run, jump, and slide through tight spaces, making use of fast reflexes to survive. Each level is built with vertical platforms, hazards, and shifting routes that challenge your ability to adapt under pressure.

Movement and Environmental Design

The game’s main mechanic is parkour. Players are given freedom to move fluidly through indoor playgrounds, warehouse tunnels, and themed arenas. The challenge comes not only from the layout of each course, but also from the looming danger that follows. Timing your jumps and avoiding obstacles while also staying ahead of your pursuer creates a tense rhythm that defines the game. Some routes offer shortcuts, while others may trap you if not approached correctly.

Key gameplay features include:

•         First-person parkour with wall runs and slides
•         Chase sequences with unpredictable enemy movement
•         Hidden routes and secret areas
•         Light puzzle elements during exploration
•         Audio cues that signal danger or guide movement

These features work together to keep players alert and always planning their next move.

Enemies and Survival Strategy

The main threat in Finding Frankie is a set of robotic mascots who roam the levels looking for the player. Each one has a unique movement style and behavior. They do not follow a fixed path, making it important to listen for footsteps and use the environment to break their line of sight. There is no combat in the game—survival depends entirely on movement and hiding. Some sections allow you to delay enemies using distractions or switches, but escape is the only true defense.

Exploration and Replay Value

While the game can be completed in a short amount of time, its design invites replay. Hidden collectibles are scattered through the levels, encouraging players to explore areas that may be risky or hard to reach. The time-based structure of some courses adds a competitive element, as players try to improve their run times or discover faster paths. Each playthrough can feel different depending on your strategy and the random behavior of the enemies.

A Test of Reaction and Memory

Finding Frankie combines the intensity of chase-based horror with the precision of a platforming game. Memorizing level layouts and learning how to use your surroundings quickly becomes essential. It’s a game that rewards attention and quick thinking, pushing players to move smartly rather than recklessly. Whether escaping through tight hallways or jumping over gaps with an animatronic close behind, the experience is built around pressure and movement.
