Façade

Facade is an interactive AI adventure where your job is to prevent a couple from ending their marriage – and it’s a lot harder than it sounds!

When Facade begins you’re talking to your friends, a married couple, that seem to be in the middle of an argument. The mood is tense, and one of them will leave the room while the other begins talking to you and asking you questions.

From here on out you’re on your own and you’ll have to figure out how to navigate the situation. Will you ask what’s wrong? Will you make a joke at the other spouse’s expense? Be careful about what you say and who you say it to… one wrong word and you’ll be shown the door and the game will be over.

It’s a shame that this game only runs on Windows ME and Windows XP machines, but some users have had luck getting it running in compatibility mode! If you’re searching for an interesting game that challenges our social conceptions, give this one a try!
