Publisher's Description
From Procedural Arts:
Facade is an attempt to move beyond traditional branching or hyperlinked narrative to create a fully-realized, one-act interactive drama. Integrating an interdisciplinary set of artistic practices and artificial intelligence technologies, we have completed a five-year collaboration to engineer a novel architecture for supporting emotional, interactive character behavior and drama-managed plot. Within this architecture we have built a dramatically interesting, real-time 3D virtual world inhabited by computer-controlled characters, in which the player experiences a story from a first-person perspective. Facade was publicly released as a freeware download or cd-rom in July 2005.
You, the player, using your own name and gender, play the character of a longtime friend of Grace and Trip, an attractive and materially successful couple in their early thirties. During an evening get-together at their apartment that quickly turns ugly, you become entangled in the high-conflict dissolution of Grace and Trip's marriage. No one is safe as the accusations fly, sides are taken and irreversible decisions are forced to be made. By the end of this intense one-act play you will have changed the course of Grace and Trip's lives--motivating you to re-play the drama to find out how your interaction could make things turn out differently the next time.

"I like it!"
Version: Facade 1.03
Pros
It is a fun game, and the storyline seems very realistic. Also, it is challenging so it gives a plus!
Cons
The graphics are not perfect, definitely.
Summary
Overall, it is a really fun game, and I plan to start using it for my YouTube gaming videos. So do download the game, it is very interesting!

"Fun to play"
Version: Facade 1.03
Pros
This game can be very funny and it's a great thing to do when you're bored. You can also edit the game by going into some of its files. Once I made every thing all bloody and messed up.
Cons
Very long time to download. You have to restart the game to play it again. Pretty bad graphics. Same thing usually every time but its still fun. You can't edit all of the things in the game life Trip or Grace's shirt.
Summary
A lot of cons but i think its worth the download. You'll really want it if you have nothing to do on your computer or you're waiting for another download.

"A list of helptul key phreases would help!"
Version: Facade 1.03
Pros
It's a neat idea. The engine may one day be the foundation to new and great things in gaming.
Cons
The idea behind the game is interesting. But without knowing what the system can recognize it's to difficult to bother with. Having to restart it every time you fail is also a pain. It tends to think I've said something opposite to what I did.
Summary
I found it extremely frustrating with the game constantly taking what I said and thinking the opposite usually resulting in quick ends to the game. The farthest I got was with no interaction at all. It's a great idea, but it's not perfect and without knowing the ability of the recognition engine it's a pain. I'd recommend people to try it, but know that you will probably loose interest pretty quickly.

"Big game, great idea, unfortunate that it sucks so bad."
Version: Facade 1.03
Pros
The over-all idea behind the story line is really great. (Which is the only reason it got 2 stars!)
Cons
Poor graphics, extremely poor sound, poor player interaction interface. I like this style of game to kill some time, the time killer was the down load time! Even with DSL it took awhile. The game just sucks. I wish I could say some good things....
To the creators, Try again! The idea is not bad, but come on... I am sure you can do better than this! Good luck.

700 MB is just insane.But there is alot in the game and the graphics could be better.

"It looks like a cheap, old cartoon. I could draw better!!"
Version: Facade 1.03
Cons

-
"Great Game."
Version: Facade 1.03
Pros
Great game. I love games like this. The game is based on what you ask and type. So beware. It's pretty cool.
Cons
Takes forever to download and if the graphics were a little better, I would enjoy it a lot more.

"Great Idea, Huge download, Technical problems"
Version: Facade 1.03
Pros
Very cool idea for a game.
Cons
If your computer doesn't meet the system requirements for this game, seriously, don't bother with this monster download. Also, the graphics aren't that great either, especially for a 781 MB game.

"Great Concept, Bad Delivery"
Version: Facade 1.03
Pros
I downloaded this game because the nature of it appealed to me. If it weren't for some problems, it would be a great game.
The first problem involved the downloading. I attempted to download the first download. It took over 2 hours using a T3 connection. When I attempted to install, it would not open. So, I downloaded the other, much smaller, verison. No problems with installation that time. I started to play. The graphics started messing up. I closed it. When I closed it, my computer froze for a minute.
So, I basically kinda wasted 3 hours trying to download, install, and play the game.
Cons
See above.

"fun game, easy to use, but not really a "game""
Version: Facade 1.03
Pros
you basically talk to a couple, and have to help them sort out their problems. you walk around in an interactive room, and you can say anything you want and the people will understand what you say and react accordingly
Cons
this game isnt really worth the huge chunk of memory that it takes up on your comp....but still fun
