Our take on Frank and Drake
Players who want the two protagonists to interact face to face may hit a wall early: Frank and Drake are destined not to meet, so their relationship develops through sticky notes instead.
What is Frank and Drake?
Frank and Drake share an apartment in Oriole City but are fated never to meet.
Frank manages a run-down apartment building and worries about his connection to the world; Drake is allergic to sunlight and lives by night. They communicate through sticky notes as they investigate a conspiracy tied to their pasts and try to build trust. Explore the city, find clues, and solve puzzles as a branching narrative responds to player choices. Separate paths shape what each protagonist experiences, with further perspectives, puzzles, and mini-games available across multiple playthroughs. The game presents its setting and characters in rotoscoped art, made by drawing over filmed footage.
