App summary

Dive into an interactive story game in the mystery horror genre with Franz — the enigmatic creature in your phone.

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 a text-rich story 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 future interactions. Words in this text-rich story 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 scary visual novel.

● The interactive story 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 scary interactive story will change.

Plunge into the scary interactive story game about a choice between tenderness and severity. Discover this visual novel and horror simulation game. Become Franz’s friend or reject her feelings.

This is unique.The background music adds another dimension to this game. I really liked this game!!! If you love to enjoy challenging horror games but have become bored to fight or do other fighting or assembling stuff then this game is made for you. It will challenge you but in a dramatic and metaphoric way. It will play with you with its words and of course, will offer you unexpected turns. But you need to be patient for enjoying its unexpected and wonderful surprises..!!

It seems unique, but the speed of the text is not for me, I did not manage to read all, and some text isn't repeating, I actually didn't dive deep in this But it was good at putting the atmosphere right

If you're not familiar with the kind of games Ice-Pick Lodge make, you're probably not going to like it much. It is, as with every one of their projects, highly experimental and very unique. An interesting and very cool experience, for sure
