"Welcome to the machine."

- The Factory's subtitle

The Broken Heart is owned by Andrey Stamatin. It is possible for the player to trade with the bartender in both Pathologic and Pathologic 2 while Andrey can only be traded with in Pathologic.

Pathologic
All characters can trade with the bartender regardless of reputation.

Bachelor Route
On Day 2, the Bachelor will be asked by Eva Yan to ask Andrey Stamatin for help in escaping the town. Andrey will give the Bachelor information about Bad Grief and tell him how to obtain a free Revolver from Grief.

On Day 3, if the Bachelor visits Andrey, he will be given a bottle of Twyrine.

On Day 5, the Bachelor will find Willow Mellow at the pub.

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 the Broken Heart. However, Andrey will not be there and two men will be standing in his usual place. They will tell the Bachelor that Andrey has gone into the marshes to look for Eva.

On Day 10, the Bachelor needs to speak to 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 the Broken Heart 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.

On Day 11, the Bachelor goes to the Broken Heart to look for Andrey in order to obtain more blueprints of the Polyhedron. However, Andrey will not be there. A distressed Herb Bride tells him that Andrey was arrested by the army. After dealing with the army and not finding Andrey, the Bachelor returns to the Broken Heart and finds Andrey safe and sound in his usual spot. He is then able to obtain Andrey Stamatin's Blueprints.

Haruspex Route
The Haruspex can trade Herbs and Twyrine to Andrey Stamatin in exchange for Rifle Ammo, Revolver Ammo, Shotgun Ammo, and Shotguns starting from Day 2.

On Day 2, Andrey Stamatin and Peter Stamatin will be in the Broken Heart. Andrey will ask the Haruspex to bring him 10 sprigs of Brown Twyre in exchange for 4000 coins. Maria Kaina will also appear in the Broken Heart after accepting Andrey's request after a certain amount of time has passed.

On Day 5, Willow Mellow will be found inside the pub. After speaking with her, she can then be found outside in the area behind the pub.

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 the Broken Heart 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
The Changeling can trade Herbs and Twyrine to Andrey Stamatin in exchange for Twyrine Extracts starting from Day 2.

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.

On Day 5, the Changeling will be asked by Katerina Saburova to convert the Stamatin siblings from the 'heresy of the Utopians'. As Peter Stamatin will only entertain Katerina's request if his brother does, the Changeling must speak with Andrey in the Broken Heart. The conversation turns hostile as she and Andrey argue their faith in theology and God, and he sends her away.

This argument has no impact on the player's ability to barter with Andrey.

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 the Broken Heart, she will find that Andrey is indeed missing and the pub is crowded with army soldiers.

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 the Broken Heart 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.

Pathologic 2
"The pub of Andrey Stamatin, an architect who would rather break bones than build homes. The barkeep buys herbs."

- Haruspex's map hover

The Haruspex is first able to visit the Broken Heart at the end of Day 1 where he decides to drink to his father’s memory. Here, he will meet Andrey and Peter Stamatin, as well as Vlad the Younger. Peter will give him two bottles of Twyrine as a gift.

On Day 2, if the Haruspex gains access to his father’s house and finds the key to his laboratory, he can visit Vlad the Younger in the Broken Heart once more to ask about the secret lair, as the note with the key was signed “V.O”.

On Day 3, Georgiy Kain will ask the Haruspex to confirm Andrey and Peter’s safety after the outbreak hits the town. Andrey will be in the Broken Heart, and he will demand the Haruspex confirm his brother’s safety instead. Notkin and Khan will also be found here, discussing a plan to visit a “dead house” in the Crude Sprawl, which may be a hotbed for infection.

The Bachelor can be found late in the evening here on Day 5 for the Haruspex to deliver bull's blood to him so he can inspect its qualities for potential medicine.

On Day 11, in his quest for the courier carrying Aglaya Lilich's orders, the Haruspex will find the bar trashed and under control of several bandits. They are holding a man claiming to be “Artemy Burakh” hostage, and will only allow the Haruspex to speak with him if he performs immediate surgery on a dying comrade of theirs. The man claiming to be “Artemy Burakh” will be seated on the stage where the Herb Bride dancer usually performs.

In the Diurnal Ending, the Bachelor will be seated in a corner of the bar, contemplating the fall of the Polyhedron. Andrey, Peter, Anna Angel and Yulia Lyuricheva may also be present, depending on their survival through the events of the game.

The Marble Nest
"Architect Andrey Stamatin is dead for as long as his brother is."

- Bachelor's map hover in Pathologic: The Marble Nest

The Broken Heart is located in the condemned part of the Town and is inaccessible during The Marble Nest. When hovering over the building on the map, Andrey Stamatin will be noted as alive.

Trade
In Pathologic, the bartender will buy player items and offer food, drugs, twyrine, and trinkets. The player may give Andrey herbs and twyrine in exchange for ammo, guns, and twyrine extracts.

In Pathologic 2, all trade is done with the bartender, who will sell food and drink, as well as buy different kinds of twyre from the player. Each day, there will be a specific type of twyre requested for a special deal, where the bartender will pay extra. The bartender will only offer money in return.
