Franz

An interactive story game about Franz — the enigmatic creature in your phone

Plunge into an interactive story game and a life simulator with a variety of choices and an intense storyline.

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

The gameplay of Franz is based on text-rich story, life simulator and tactile interaction with the character. Your smartphone is Franz herself, so you need to be much more careful with the device. 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 visual novel 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 the storyline. Words in this life simulator, 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 in this life simulator. 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 visual novel.

● The interactive story game with 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.
