Just imagine the passive-aggressive notes

Frank And Drake - Frank walks home through an alleyway with a grey hoodie over his head and a brown grocery sack in his arms.

“Dracula and Frankenstein are modern day 20-something flatmates who never see one another and only exchange sticky notes. Also they are both very sad. Also Dracula wears puple shades,” is the kind of message I’d expect to see from one of my writing acquaintances with the timestamp [2:15am]. It’s also the kind of thing I’d respond to with a “yes, do it,” eager to find out exactly how the hell they would. That’s the energy that I downloadedFrank And Drake’s demo with, and it sure is a moody, somber narrative adventure about two unlikely housemates.

“Every path will unlock different puzzles, mini games and interactions for both characters,” say developers Appnormals Team. “Some of them will be optional, some critical in order to move forward with their personal quests in this journey.”

I spent my first day as Frank starting to fix up an exercise bike in the basement, putting away groceries, and having a bit of an existential pout in my diary. Unfortunately that distracted me from cleaning up Drake’s room before he arrived to move in that night, leaving him to find both a leaky ceiling and his window left uncovered despite his request for a room that doesn’t have one.

Roommate relations off to a swell start. I don’t look forward to the sticky note he’ll leave me on the fridge due to that lapse in judgement.

You can try out the Frank And Drake demo yourself overon Steamright now. It’s scheduled for release in spring 2022.
