About this game

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.

The long wait is suffocating and the touching system is tough , I don't want to hit her but struggling to touch results in a weird outcome. Having to be kicked out of the app and dealing with the app permissions and privacy policy was the last straw. I am here to play not to be bothered. I like the physiological aspects but the gameplay itself and the app aren't the best sorry.

Well, this game is TOTALLY not for everyone. As far as I can see from the reviews, many people find it boring because they only see the text and the character - Franz, and have to wait a long time at certain moments. However, in my opinion, this game helps you think: about whether you are doing the right things in your life, what kind of person you really are ( you will also forget how to lie lol ). This is an interesting psychological horror, the tension - captures you. I liked it very much!

I loved the game, but I'm stuck in the loop of her trying to hug me, after dealing with the sentence and getting "take it all" it throws me back to "careful you might scare her off". I tried uninstalling the game, played all over up to that moment but the issue remained. I really want to see the rest of the game, but I don't think I'm ready to be replaying it until it works :( I would love to know if there's any way to fix it
