The modern gothic tale of Frank and Drake opens on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC | TheXboxHub

Supernatural mystery, non-linear branching paths, modern gothic style and a ton of puzzles. That’s Frank and Drake on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC. 

Available today for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC players is Appnormals and Chorus Worldwide’s Frank and Drake. It’s a game that was previously destined for a 2022 launch. This is a narrative adventure like no other, focuses efforts on the titular cast as a whole ton of conspiracy is uncovered. 

An unlikely pairing

Priced at £19.99 from the Xbox Store, this one is playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Drop in and you’ll find that Frank and Drake puts two unlikely roommates at the centre of the action. And it is they who attempt to work together in order to uncover a strange conspiracy. 

The thing is, Frank and Drake lead vastly different lives. That plays out in the day/night cycle that is in place. Much of that is due to the solar allergy of Drake. What this means is that in order for things to play out in Frank and Drake, an asynchronous way of communicating comes to the fore. You’ll use that to solve the various puzzles that await. 

Frank and Drake is, above all else, a narrative adventure; one that follows modern gothic lines. With branching pathways front and centre, choice-based gameplay constantly popping up, and a range of dialogue options, those choices will be all the more prevalent. Consider the multiple endings, and that is amplified.
