On Day 5, the Bachelor will find Willow Mellow at Andrey Stamatin's 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 his pub. 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.

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 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 his pub. 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.
