The Future: Virtual Domestic Disturbances

06 July 2005

Facade is a free video game in which players find themselves caught in the middle of a domestic argument and must find a way to reconcile the couple. Seriously.

Actually, it's more of a technology demo which experiments with a new, more lifelike method for players to hold conversations with computer controlled characters and in that respect it's quite interesting. Although I sincerely hope they come up with some more entertaining uses for the technology, I can't see the kids rushing out to buy a copy of Sim-Marital Strife.
