Bit Bot Media and FreakZone Games, the studios behind The Rocky Horror Show Video Game, are back with another nostalgic 8-bit experience, this time with Frankie Freako, a retro sidescroller prequel to the film from Steven Kostanski (PG: Psycho Goreman, The Void).
Look for the game to arrive on Steam and major consoles in Q2 2025. Fans can wishlist the game now.
Frankie Freako: The Video Game acts as a prequel to the Raven Banner film, “immersing players in the apocalyptic chaos of Freak World. Take control of Frankie, Boink, and Dottie as they
run, jump, and battle their way through a vibrant cityscape and ascend the treacherous Munch Tower to uncover the secrets behind Munch’s sinister Freak Phone technology. Frankie Freako pays homage to classic ’80s movie-to-game adaptations with a challenging, fast-paced platforming experience. Known for their signature style in titles like Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, FreakZone Games delivers another expertly crafted retro experience that will delight fans of the genre.”
In the film, “Workaholic yuppie Conor has a dilemma: no one in his life respects him! Not his boss, not his coworkers, not even his wife Kristina, who thinks he’s an uptight ‘square’! Conor sees no way out of this existential rut until one night, while channel-surfing, he catches a bizarre ad for a party hotline hosted by a strange dancing goblin: Frankie Freako. Conor is entranced by Frankie’s promises of wild and freaky adventures, just a phone call away – could this be just the recipe to spice up his flavorless life?”
Joe Lipsett wrote in his review, “Frankie Freako channels a chaotic energy that makes for a breezy, easy to watch 80-minute film. It’s delightful, it’s silly, and it’s often extremely entertaining. If you yearn for a fun retro throwback to the era of Boglins, pay-per-minute infomercials, and beige yuppie suburban households, this is the film for you.”
Get ready to venture into Freak World by way of 8-bit retro gaming with a modern twist in this upcoming prequel to the little monster movie in the vein of Gremlins, Ghoulies, and Critters.
