Game Overview & History
FranknJohn is a horror inspired action roguelike, where your head is your weapon! Young FranknJohn is a failed experiment of a demented scientist, Dr Harmin. He wakes, with no memory, in a cell, with a head that can only stay on his body with the help of a chain. FranknJohn is far from helpless however, as his flaw becomes his strength – he can swing his head wildly round to smash away the plethora of strange creatures that roam the house of horror…Current FeaturesSmash enemies with FranknJohn’s weaponized head Experiment with 20 different Skullcaps that alter gameplay in many different waysHuge skill tree.
