Franz

Dive into a horror game and interactive story about 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, tamagotchi 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 text story. The decisions that you make as this horror game progresses determine whether you become the rightful owner of Franz or turn into her puppet.

The tamagotchi gameplay of Franz is based on a text 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 interactive horror game is based on physical interaction with a smartphone, namely:

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 story game, like in real life, are an important tool of communication, and should be handled with care.

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 this horror game.

Franz can kick you out of the app and lock you out of it for a certain period of time. In this text story 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.

Like in tamagotchi games 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.

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 text story will change.

Plunge into the horror game and interactive text story about a choice between tenderness and severity. Discover this game with tamagotchi gameplay. Become Franz’s friend or reject her feelings.
