Franz

A mystery game about the story of Franz — the enigmatic creature in your phone

Plunge into a mystery horror game with an interactive story about a choice between tenderness and severity.

Imagine that your device is haunted by an enigmatic creature named Franz, who has her own will, character and desires. Through gameplay in the style of scary chat stories and face-to-face communication with Franz you can find out who she really is and what she truly desires. Moral choices form the narrative foundation of the interactive story. The decisions that you make as this mystery game progresses determine whether you become the rightful owner of Franz or turn into her puppet.

The gameplay of Franz is based on tactile interactions and communication in the style of scary chat stories. Your smartphone is Franz herself, so you need to be much more careful with the device as you go through this mystery game. Franz is unpredictable and touchy, but is very much into you. She is susceptible to physical interaction, just like any real person. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the consequences of your choices when communicating with her, even those that may seem insignificant.

This mystery game is based on physical interaction with a smartphone, namely:

● Word puzzle solving game

One of the main ways of interacting with Franz is by solving various puzzles that illustrate the complexity of communication between people. Like in real dialogue, you can misunderstand something or miss an important detail, which can affect future interactions. Words in this mystery game, like in real life, are an important tool of communication, and should be handled with care.

● Touches and choices

You can express your attitude towards Franz through tactile contact, using gentle or aggressive touches. Franz can both ask for your affection and try to provoke you. It is up to you whether to submit to Franz or resist her manipulations as you go through the interactive story.

● The mystery game with a time factor

Franz can kick you out of the app and lock you out of it for a certain period of time. You can choose whether to wait until Franz lets you back into the game or be the one who makes the choices of your own. For example, you may attempt to interrupt the waiting time, but it can hurt Franz in the process.

● Response to notifications

Franz can send notifications when she wants you back in the game. Depending on how quickly you open the app after receiving the notification, Franz will either be offended or delighted.

● Non-linear narrative in the puzzle solving game

Franz is a living entity that reacts differently to every action of yours, whether it's touching her, solving puzzles, ignoring her desires, or indulging her emotional manipulations. Therefore, depending on your behavior and choices, this interactive story will change.
