Relationships: Bachelor/Daniil Dankovsky: Daniel is a dear friend of the Stamtin twins him and Andrey knew each other in college and were close.The first dialogue between Andrey and the Bachelor reveals that they knew each other when they were both students of Health Science — which Andrey presumably left to pursue architecture—and that they were involved in a bar fight together, apparently on the defending side. Their relationship is a bit strained though as they're both in love with the same woman. (Eva Yan)

Peter Stamatin: Andrey concedes to Peter in terms of creative talent, though he is far better with practical matters than his twin. Andrey cares for his brother above anyone else. Peter is Andrey's younger brother and his greatest emotional connection. Their relationship is intense, marked by mutual artistic passion and destructive habits, particularly their shared alcoholism. While Peter's visionary ideas inspire Andrey, Andrey often feels responsible for Peter's self-destructive tendencies and wishes to shield him, despite his own spiraling mental state.

Eva Yan:Eva is a close companion to Andrey and one of the few people he opens up to in moments of vulnerability. Her calm, enigmatic presence provides him with a semblance of stability amidst his chaotic lifestyle. Andrey’s feelings for her are complicated; he leans on her emotionally yet feels guilty for dragging her into his hedonistic and destructive habits. Despite this, he admires her resilience and cherishes her presence as a quiet refuge from the harshness of the world. Also maintains a close romantic relationship with Eva Yan.

Georgiy Kain/Victor Kain: Andrey harbors distrust for Victor and Georgiy, whom he sees as manipulative and elitist. While they play less direct roles in his artistic disillusionment, their vision for the town often clashes with Andrey’s bitter perspective on its future. Andrey fears that he will never be able to make something as good as the polyheadron. Ever again and for that he feels deep restment for the two twins.

Mark Immortell: Doesn't have much of a relationship with mark and kind of thinks he's creepy he stays away from the theater because mark communicates with the powers that be.

Maria Kaina: Maria is Andrey's brother's girlfriend. He admires her greatly and gets defended and insulted when people doubt her. He believes that she is going to be a great mistress and town leader. He fully leans into her vision for the towns future."I am quite fond of Andrey. The twins are the two sides of a single whole, but Andrey has the capability to execute Peter's fantasies and designs. He is resolute enough not only to admit the possibility of the impossible, but also to implement it through persistent creative work. My uncle is quite capable of the former too, but the latter... A personality like Andrey's deserves nothing but admiration..."

Maria Kaina's take on him. Vlad the Younger: Vlad, the younger is Andreys dear friend and perhaps a sexual acquaintance. Although Andrey can't help to find the other man a bit pathetic and not too sympathetic to his plight. They often drink together and spend the late night at the bar."Without Andrey's boldness, Peter's vivid imagination would have only existed on paper. It's a shame that the duo is in decline right now, really. Peter is a habitual drinker and Andrey wastes his life on debauchery and ruthless feasts. But dormant periods are common among creative people; they emerge from them carrying the prey of new discoveries in their teeth..."

Vlad the Younger's take on him. Haruspex/Artemy Burakh: Andrey and Aetemy seem to have a mutual respect for each other even though they don't see eye to eye ideologically. While Andrey refuses to join the Haruspex due to Artemy wanting to destroy the Polyhedron he will offer weapons and bullets to Artemy for trading him rare twyre. Andrey also seems to be sexual attractive to Artemy Burakh, offten making sexual jokes and flirting at him.

Changeling/Clara:Andrey is suspicious of Clara’s divine claims, dismissing her as a fraud or deluded girl. However, her strange kindness occasionally disarms him, making him question his skepticism. Their interactions are rare but laden with tension. Despite this, he sees no reason to be mean to the little girl often helping her out in her times of trouble.A s he sees her as nothing more. But a desperate child needing help.

Background: Andrey Stamatin is an architect from the Capital and the owner of the pub in the Earth District. He is the elder twin brother of Peter Stamatin. A wild, fierce, and hedonistic man, but also energetic, buoyant, and jovial. Andrey acknowledges no authority, and is inclined to doubt any established premise and principle. As such, he invents many peculiar doctrines on the limits of human freedom. He seems to generally enjoy violence and fighting, even challenging the Haruspex to a "contest of life-taking." However, he hates it when someone "dares attack a woman," which is one reason for his fights. He is consistent in any situation. He is able to build many unusual projects, yet diffuses his talents by working chaotically and unstably. Andrey concedes to Peter in terms of creative talent, though he is far better with practical matters than his twin. Andrey cares for his brother above anyone else, but also maintains a close romantic relationship with Eva Yan[2] and is protective of the dancers who work in his pub, and greatly admires Maria Kaina.Well-known architects from the Capital, both Stamatin brothers have designed famous buildings across the country. Andrey and his brother were brought to the town by Nina Kaina ten years prior to the events of the game and have lived there since. Together, they created the Polyhedron among other constructions. Andrey specifically states that he has been sentenced to death in four countries for his "architectural works." Though he and Peter have worked both separately and collaboratively, Andrey says he is "usually the one to take the beating." Either or both Stamatins are known to have worked on: The Downgate The Alley of Heroes ensemble The Other Stairway Round The House House The Cold Hall The Stairways to Heaven The Polyhedron It is unclear to what extent which brother was involved with which projects, but Andrey claims his death sentences came in response to his creation of The Downgate, the Alley of Heroes ensemble, The Other Stairway Round, and House House. Both twins collaborated on Cold Hall, and on the buildings in the town. The stairways are Peter's work. The first dialogue between Andrey and the Bachelor reveals that they knew each other when they were both students of Health Science — which Andrey presumably left to pursue architecture—and that they were involved in a bar fight together, apparently on the defending side.

Bachelor Route The Bachelor can meet with Andrey on Day 1 by visiting his pub. They share reminiscience about their college days together, with Andrey proudly declaring he has since moved on and created fantastic architectural miracles with the assistance of his brother. The following day, the Bachelor is asked by Eva Yan to convince the brothers in escaping the coming epidemic with her. Andrey agrees, but only if Peter can be convinced. However, the plan falls through when the Bachelor discovers the train service is discontinued.

On Day 7, after discovering that Eva Yan is missing and receiving a message via Ayan from Andrey, the Bachelor will look for him at his pub. However, Andrey will not be there, and instead two of the pub's workers direct the Bachelor to the marshes. There, Andrey will be confronting several Worms, accusing them of kidnapping Eva. Both he and the Bachelor come to realize that Eva has committed suicide, throwing herself from the Cathedral. Andrey laments that Eva was always "his woman", free to live her life, but stayed important to him.

On Day 10, as the Bachelor searches for Peter Stamatin, but finds that Peter has disappeared from his home and the place is full of army soldiers. He learns that Peter was not arrested and visits Andrey at his pub in order to find Peter. Andrey will tell the Bachelor that Peter went to look for something near a Stairway to Heaven located in the Chine, while also declaring that he will do whatever he can to protect his brother from the Army and the governor.

On Day 11, the Bachelor goes to Andrey Stamatin's Pub to look for Andrey in order to obtain more blueprints of the Polyhedron. However, Andrey is not present; a distressed dancer tells him that Andrey was arrested by the army and is sentenced to execution. The Bachelor attends the execution spot, and deals with the soldiers; he will return to the pub to find Andrey safe in his usual spot, where he is thankful of the Bachelor's actions. He gives him his blueprints for the Polyhedron.

The following day, as Maria Kaina begins her ascension as Red Mistress, the Bachelor speaks with Andrey in his pub, where he will insistently declare that Maria will lead the Town to a better place, having finally realized the sought Utopia.

Haruspex Route Andrey has a limited appearance in the Haruspex route. When meeting him as the Haruspex for the first time on Day 2, Andrey Stamatin and his brother will be in his pub. His first conversation with the Haruspex will be as friendly as Andrey can be: he threatens him in passing, only for the Haruspex to boldly state he could beat the life out of Andrey if he wanted to. After a moment of shock and consideration, Andrey will change the subject by proposing a business opportunity: he will trade him weapons and medicine for herbs and twyre. On that day, he will also ask the Haruspex for 10 sprigs of Brown Twyre in exchange for 4000 coins and information about the location of a store that is buying items at a premium.

On Day 12, as Andrey Stamatin is one of the Bachelor's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of Andrey Stamatin's Pub with Andrey being infected inside. If the player wishes for the Bachelor to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Andrey Stamatin a Shmowder or a Panacea to cure him.

Changeling Route On Day 2, while completing a request for Vlad the Younger, the Changeling will be directed to speak to Andrey Stamatin about the rumours that the Haruspex is capable of brewing medicinal tinctures. Andrey will confirm the efficacy of the Haruspex's tinctures, and also propose a trade agreement with the Changeling: if she brings him twyre, he will create medicinal extract for her to use.

Several days later, the Changeling will be asked by Katerina Saburova to convert the Stamatin siblings from the 'heresy of the Utopians' to better suit the Town's future. As Peter Stamatin will only entertain Katerina's request if his brother does, the Changeling visits Andrey at his pub. During her conversation with him, he grows increasingly hostile, furious she at all implies that both he and his brother need some sort of "salvation", and criticizes her belief in God. He sends her away, demanding she never show her face to him again.

On Day 11, the Inquisitor asks the Changeling to deliver some documents to the Bachelor. While looking for the Bachelor, the Changeling will overhear that the Andrey has been arrested by mutinous troops and the Bachelor has gone to free him. If the Changeling goes to Andrey Stamatin's Pub, she will find that Andrey is indeed missing and the pub is crowded with army soldiers. She questions a soldier to discover that Andrey had been taken to the cannon at the Train Station, in front of a firing squad. When the Changeling arrives at the Train Station, she will only find the mutinous soldiers there and two other soldiers hidden behind rocks. Once she heals the injured soldier and the mutineers are dealt with, she learns that Andrey and the Bachelor have both managed to escape and she will find them at Stamatin's Loft alongside Peter. The Changeling questions Andrey about the Polyhedron and he apparently disagrees with the Bachelor's conclusions. Andrey says the Polyhedron is not a chimera, and that it was made for people, it is needed by people, and would have no meaning without people.

On Day 12, as Andrey Stamatin is one of the Bachelor's Bound, there is a chance that an Executor will be stationed outside of Andrey Stamatin's pub with Andrey being infected inside. If the player wishes for the Bachelor to attend the Cathedral meeting, they must give Andrey Stamatin a Shmowder or a Panacea to cure him.

Other: Andrey carries a knife which he calls a "navaja"—a type of Spanish folding-knife. Historically, the navaja was a knife used by common people after a ban on longer blades, which seems to reflect Andrey's contempt towards nobility. Andrey's pub is called Factus Est, but was previously called Golghoy Khen. Andrey's appearance is based on Nikita Koledin, a Russian theatre actor and director [5]. Nikita's photo is used for both Andrey and Peter. He's 29 years old.
