Frantic Franko

1.The Story

The game is set in a fantasy world, but in one which despite considerable grit shouldn’t be treated with too much seriousness. Especially since items like carnival balloons or melted-sandwich-on-a-stick may sometimes play a big role in getting things done.

The main hero of the story is a ferocious dwarven warrior called Frantic Franko. As the game begins he goes on a long journey to a far away land just to get to the guy from a rival clan who unforgivably insulted his own. And the challenge is considerable as the offender is none other than the notorious Kinky Koval. Yet it won’t be easy for Franko to reach Koval in one piece. In fact it’s during the journey that his real problems and the true story start while revenge starts to become an even more important issue…

…really isn’t a nice person. Actually he is something of an egoistic, sadistic psycho. He has a mother complex, problems with verbal communication, a tendency to attack anything that moves with his axe, and other appropriate quirks.

Also, Franko is nearly blind (blinder even than most other dwarfs as he lost one of his eyes) so he catches the scents of things instead of looking at them. And what of an accute sense of smell he has indeed – ideal for examining hotspots in the game. Most importantly though, Franko is also equipped with a highly destructive nature in consequence of which he chooses swing his axe at things as the primary action when interacting with game objects.
