The #bachelor takes the stage. He studies his lines in the medical records, like an actor studying his text. At the end of the scene, the diagnosis sounds - the final note that will determine the further plot of the patient's life.

Lift up your theatre binoculars and take a look at the stage. Who is the character standing next to the protagonist? What does he want from Daniil and why does he lose his head? #Pathologic2Bachelor

Long story short. People keep asking about the way to support the studio, mentally and financially. We do have some Kickstarter obligations to fulfill, so we don't want to take the money without giving something valuable back. And we thought about #Patreon . What do you think?

In the broadest sense, #Franz is an exploration of human nature. The game is not about a creature in a phone, but about a person: who am I (a beast or a prey?), why I act the way I do, and why manipulations hold such a significant place in my life.
