					 | 
				 
				
					  | 
				 
				
					
						A while ago someone posted a link to this game called facade with the sarcastic thread title "Game of the year" or something similar, and everybody looked at the screens and went "What utter shit" and "Looks like feces to me", including me. The GFX really do look like pig shit. But this game hides pure genius underneath its graphics. It's ot artificial intelligence that borders on human self awareness. NO two games are EVER the same. It's basically an interactive adventure game where you're a person (male or female) who gets invited to your two friends house. The friends are a couple who are having relationship problems and you can basically do ANYTHING. You can help them, be cruel, try to talk them through it, or ANYTHING you want. They talk to you, and then you talk back by typing what you want to say, and they respond intelligently to whatever you say. And they really ARE intelligent. You can almost say the same thing forever and never get the exact same reply twice (well not really, but almost). They're so smart that they react to EVERYTHING around them in an intelligent way. Seriously, i've played this game tons of times and i've never even once gotten any two endings that came anywhere close to being similar. This game is fucking genious. You guys just have to try it. 
 
 
 
 
 
Get it at this link: http://www.interactivestory.net/
 
 
 
 
I can't put into words how smart this game is, you just HAVE to try it. It's like you're talking to REAL people. They're THAT smart! Try it, NOW!!!
 
 
 
 
P.S.  IT'S COMPLETELY FREE!!!
  Gigabyte S-Series GA-G33-DS3R, Intel C2D Quad Q6600 OC @ 3.2Ghz, 4gb Kingston PC8500 1066Mhz DDR2, Geforce 7800GTX (will get a 9800GTX when they are released), 2 x 250Gb HD's and a case with built in paper and lotion dispenser.

TRIP
 
What, Grace... this?
 
 
GRACE
 
Yes, you know how I feel about it --
 
 
TRIP
 
I know I know I'll do it right now, alright?! -- (interrupted)

GRACE
 
What?! You said he's coming an hour from now!
 
 
(Ian knocks on the front door.)
 
 
(Ian knocks on the front door.)
 
 
(Ian knocks on the front door.)
 
 
TRIP
 
No, he's right on time!
 
 
(Ian knocks on the front door.)
 
 
(Ian knocks on the front door.)
 
 
GRACE

(Ian knocks on the front door.)
 
 
(Ian knocks on the front door.)
 
 
(Trip opens the front door.)
 
 
TRIP
 
Ian!! 
 
 
TRIP
 
Ah  I'm so happy you could make it!     We haven't seen you in so long,  how's it going, man? -- (interrupted)
 
 
IAN
 
hi dude
 
 
TRIP
 
Ha ha, hi!
 
 
TRIP
 
Wow, it's so great to see you after so long.

GRACE
 
Uh...
 
 
(Trip closes the front door.)
 
 
GRACE
 
So,    Ian,  you can help me understand where I went wrong with my new decorating, ha ha.
 
 
TRIP
 
Grace, oh, no, we don't need to do that.
 
 
IAN
 
is trip still as ignorant like before?
 
 
TRIP
 
Well, it's funny how after a full day's work designing magazine ads, Grace finds the time to decorate... and re-decorate... 
 
 
GRACE
 
Ha ha, uhh, I guess it's just the artist in me dying to get out. 
 
 
IAN
 
ugly decoration
 
 
TRIP
 
Well hold on, hold on, take a closer look, give it a chance to soak in a little.
 
 
GRACE
 
So, about my decorating... -- (interrupted)
 
 
IAN
 
nope
 
 
TRIP
 
Ah, yes,    Ian,  I knew you'd like it.  See, Grace?
 
 
GRACE
 
(frustrated sigh)
 
 
GRACE
 
(frustrated sigh) So I've been collecting all these sculptures...
 
 
GRACE
 
but now whenever I look at them, I suddenly get such a... such a... headache! -- (interrupted)
 
 
IAN
 
I don't like it
 
 
GRACE
 
Uh, yes, but these sculptures are just awful, aren't they?
 
 
TRIP
 
(clears throat)
 
 
IAN
 
no they are beatiful
 
 
GRACE
 
Uhh!
 
 
TRIP
 
There, Grace, I try to tell you, everybody loves your decorating!
 
 
GRACE
 
(frustrated complacent sigh) Well I'm definitely returning everything in this room, it has to be totally redone.
 
 
IAN
 
no not your decoration
 
 
GRACE
 
Look I know you love my decorating, everybody loves my decorating.  Except for me.  Let's talk about something else, God... -- (interrupted)
 
 
IAN
 
your sculptures!
 
 
TRIP
 
Oh,    Ian,  I thought you might like this photo I just put up from our recent trip to Italy.
 
 
IAN
 
stop talking about decoration!
 
 
TRIP
 
Ian,  Come take look at this!
 
 
IAN
 
give me a drink
 
 
GRACE
 
Yes, go, take a look... -- (interrupted)
 
 
TRIP
 
Oh, yeah, I'm gonna fix us some drinks in a sec!
 
 
TRIP
 
Ah, you need to help me break in my expensive new set of cocktail making accessories.
 
 
TRIP
 
Ian,  Come on, you'll like this, check it out!
 
 
IAN

GRACE
 
You know what, I'll be right back.
 
 
TRIP

GRACE
 
No you two keep talking about the bar and drinks and the amazing view and everything...
 
 
IAN

TRIP
 
What?  Where are you going?
 
 
GRACE
 
I'll just be in the kitchen.
 
 
IAN

TRIP
 
(frustrated sigh)
 
 
GRACE
 
Why does this have to happen tonight...
 
 
IAN

GRACE

(IAN picks up the advice ball.)
 
 
(The advice ball reads, "Yes")
 
 
(IAN puts down the advice ball.)
 
 
GRACE
 
God Trip, you're just like my dad with the whole wine snob thing.
 
 
(IAN picks up the advice ball.)
 
 
(The advice ball reads, "I Doubt It")
 
 
(IAN puts down the advice ball.)
 
 
TRIP
 
I'll take that as a compliment.  -- (interrupted)
 
 
IAN
 
I doubt it
 
 
TRIP
 
What? Oh, I, I thought you'd love that...!
 
 
(IAN picks up the advice ball.)
 
 
(The advice ball reads, "Perhaps Soon")
 
 
GRACE
 
Trip don't pressure our friend, okay?

GRACE

GRACE

IAN

GRACE
 
What, what are you saying?
 
 
GRACE
 
Sometimes I feel like our whole marriage is just for show!  I don't know what you really feel!
 
 
TRIP
 
(little impatient sigh)   -- (interrupted)
 
 
IAN
 
I'm gonna stab you too bitch
 
 
GRACE
 
What?!?  That's awful, where did that come from?  You're acting ridiculous!

Trip, let me ask our guest a question.
 
 
(IAN kisses grace.)
 
 
GRACE
 
Ian,  yes or no...
 
 
IAN
 
I want to yes
 
 
GRACE
 
Isn't it right for one person in a marriage to expose when the other person is acting fake?
 
 
IAN
 
yes
 
 
TRIP
 
What...?!
 
 
TRIP
 
Oh, alright... yeah...

TRIP
 
Grace, what the hell are you saying about me in there?
 
 
GRACE
 
I'm not talking to you!
 
 
(IAN comforts grace.)
 
 
GRACE
 
Ian,  we're not normally like this, I don't know what's going on...

TRIP
 
Grace, what the hell are you saying about me in there? -- (interrupted)
 
 
(IAN kisses grace.)
 
 
GRACE
 
What do you care?
 
 
TRIP
 
Ian,  in what you said before, about letting things go... I think that tells us something about Grace.
 
 
(IAN sits on the couch.)
 
 
(IAN gets up from the couch.)
 
 
GRACE
 
Oh, we're talking about me again, are we?
 
 
TRIP
 
What?
 
 
TRIP
 
Grace, we don't -- we don't have to do this... things are okay, we can just -- -- (interrupted)

						It's an exagguration, but considering that this is an 'amateur' effort one can only assume that this is the beginning of something very exciting in the world of videogames. Think where we will be in ten years time for example, not in a year, but ten.

						Played this earlier on and was kind of impressed with it clearly it needs alot of work though. Initially got thrown out of the house on my first 3 attempts for being a bit upfront about their marriage problems, then took an entirely different route as shown below which lead to one character admitting to an affair and another character admitting to hiding the fact that she was an artist.
 
 
I used the spoiler tags so that if anyone doesn''t want to read it they can scroll through the thread easily - I enjoyed your story maxiepaxie very nicely done

ADAM

TRIP
 
Ah, right, right,    Adam,  of course you like it!
 
 
TRIP
 
See Grace you have no reason to complain -- there's just nothing to complain about.
 
 
GRACE
 
(annoyed sigh)
 
 
ADAM
 
do you like the house grace?
 
 
TRIP
 
See, try to understand, even after a full day's work designing magazine ads,
 
 
TRIP
 
 Grace somehow finds the time to decorate and and and and redecorate -- 
 
 
GRACE
 
I could never do this, but sometimes I want to start fresh and paint free form all over the walls with a big messy brush... 
 
 
GRACE
 
(frustrated sigh)
 
 
ADAM
 
wow
 
 
GRACE
 
So I normally like redecorating...
 
 
GRACE
 
Adam,  now be honest with me, agree that this room just does not work! 
 
 
TRIP
 
Grace, come on, what are you talking about?
 
 
ADAM
 
the room is a mess
 
 
TRIP
 
No, no no no no no, you've got to understand, Grace loves expensive furniture, she was totally spoiled growing up,
 
 
ADAM
 
your right grace
 
 
GRACE
 
Uh, but this room is a problem, isn't it?
 
 
GRACE
 
All day at work I design ads for apartments like this, -- (interrupted)

GRACE
 
Oh, well...
 
 
GRACE
 
(little sigh) So I just had to have this style...
 
 
GRACE

TRIP
 
Oh come on! Jesus why can't you just be happy with this?  This is fine!

GRACE
 
No, he is just being courteous... this room is not --
 
 
TRIP
 
Uhh, Grace, come on, people like it, you're the only one --
 
 
GRACE
 
You know, Trip, if you hadn't convinced me to go into advertising, I could have painted that painting on the wall instead of buying it!
 
 
TRIP
 
  You're never happy... 
 
 
ADAM
 
deep breathes grace
 
 
TRIP
 
Uhh, you're driving me insane!
 
 
TRIP
 
Huh?  What, what -- what was that?
 
 
TRIP
 
You're never satisfied with anything!  You're never happy, never ever satisfied with anything.
 
 
ADAM

GRACE
 
Okay, yeah, I hear you, alright?
 
 
GRACE
 
Everyone tries to explain everything...
 
 
GRACE
 
Trip, our whole marriage, you're so... controlling!
 
 
TRIP
 
Oh, come on...!
 
 
TRIP
 
Goddamn manipulation...
 
 
TRIP
 
Grace, I -- I just want to be together, and be happy, can you just see that?  
 
 
GRACE
 
Oh, yeah, yeah, right!
 
 
TRIP
 
Can't we just do that?
 
 
TRIP
 
Alright, you know what,     Adam, 
 
 
TRIP
 
I'm going to ask you something.
 
 
GRACE
 
Trip --
 
 
TRIP
 
Grace, let me ask our guest a question.
 
 
TRIP
 
Adam,  yes or no...
 
 
TRIP
 
Shouldn't both people in a marriage _want_ the same things?
 
 
GRACE
 
What?
 
 
ADAM
 
no
 
 
TRIP
 
What...?!
 
 
TRIP
 
Oh, yeah, that's fine... that's fine...
 
 
TRIP
 
Uhh, Grace, you think that if I hadn't 'convinced you' not go into art, that you'd be totally happy!  The truth is, I saved you from that goddammit!  
 
 
GRACE
 
Oh, that's great Trip!
 
 
GRACE
 
Uhh!  Yeah, good, get out of my sight! 
 
 
GRACE
 
I don't want to look at you!
 
 
ADAM
 
grace you have to leave him
 
 
GRACE
 
Dammit, Trip!
 
 
GRACE
 
Wait, what, are you trying to explain this to me?
 
 
TRIP
 
Grace, are you talking about me?
 
 
GRACE
 
I wasn't talking about you!
 
 
ADAM
 
yes he tryed to rape me
 
 
GRACE
 
Adam,  I -- I'm sorry... this is a disaster...
 
 
GRACE
 
uhh...
 
 
ADAM
 
you have to call 911
 
 
GRACE
 
Adam,  in -- in what you said before, about wanting things... I think we've already learned something about Trip.
 
 
TRIP
 
Oh ho, so we're talking about me, are we?
 
 
GRACE
 
What?
 
 
ADAM
 
i want you grace
 
 
TRIP
 
Grace, even though you're now a creative director at work,  and even though you redecorate the apartment all the time, the truth is... you're not an artist.
 
 
GRACE
 
Uhh...!
 
 
TRIP
 
I'm sorry, you're not.
 
 
GRACE
 
Adam,  uhh...
 
 
ADAM
 
you are an artist grace
 
 
TRIP
 
Ah!
 
 
GRACE
 
See,    Adam,  all this time, I just can't stop thinking that I should have been painting!
 
 
TRIP
 
Why don't you just do it then?       -- (interrupted)
 
 
ADAM
 
yes i agree
 
 
GRACE
 
Yes?
 
 
TRIP
 
Ah, yes, just you saying that should really help her...
 
 
GRACE
 
Well, if I could be a painter, I... I -- I would...
 
 
ADAM
 
you should paint grace
 
 
TRIP
 
Let's talk some more about Grace.
 
 
GRACE
 
Trip, how could I ever imagine trying to be an artist,  when you get so angry any time I mention painting!
 
 
TRIP
 
Uhh...
 
 
GRACE
 
Adam,  I can't take it anymore...
 
 
ADAM
 
leave him
 
 
GRACE
 
Aha!
 
 
TRIP
 
D -- divorce?     Adam,  you think we should get a divorce?  
 
 
ADAM
 
is that what you want trip?
 
 
TRIP
 
What?
 
 
TRIP
 
God, I, I -- I mean, to even suggest divorce is...    (little sigh) Look I'll just forget you said that.
 
 
ADAM
 
well lighten the fuck up
 
 
GRACE
 
Sex, sex, sex, why is sex such a big deal?
 
 
ADAM
 
ok
 
 
TRIP
 
What? 
 
 
GRACE
 
Why do people always talk about it so much, when it just makes so many people so unhappy?
 
 
TRIP
 
Uhh!  What... I... 
 
 
ADAM
 
is he good in bed?
 
 
GRACE
 
No, look, I'm just saying... sex seems like it's more trouble than it's worth.
 
 
TRIP
 
Oh God, this is so depressing...  
 
 
GRACE
 
It does!
 
 
ADAM
 
you dont have sex
 
 
GRACE
 
Ah!
 
 
TRIP
 
Adam,  you're saying we... should not have sex?    Been there, done that... I don't recommend it... 
 
 
GRACE
 
(frustrated sigh)
 
 
TRIP
 
Let's keep our focus on Grace.
 
 
GRACE
 
Adam,  it's time that Trip finally just admits that our marriage --
 
 
TRIP
 
Grace, don't, no, you don't need to --
 
 
GRACE
 
Admits that our marriage is not --
 
 
TRIP
 
Stop it, stop it!     (annoyed sigh)
 
 
ADAM
 
go on grace
 
 
GRACE
 
Yes?
 
 
GRACE
 
Ah, thank you, just saying that helps me!
 
 
GRACE
 
 See, this -- this is how it's been for the past ten years!
 
 
TRIP
 
Uhh...
 
 
TRIP
 
Let's continue focusing on Grace.
 
 
GRACE
 
You know, Trip, whenever I really try to talk honestly about things, you...
 
 
GRACE
 
 you don't want to hear it!
 
 
TRIP
 
What?
 
 
GRACE
 
Adam,  I think I'm the only one who is trying to be the most honest here.
 
 
TRIP
 
  Uhh...
 
 
ADAM
 
yes i agree
 
 
GRACE
 
Yes?
 
 
TRIP
 
Look, you're doing it again, you're putting all this on me...
 
 
ADAM
 
tell me about the past 10 years
 
 
GRACE
 
Adam,  explain this to me!
 
 
GRACE
 
We should -- we should talk about Trip.
 
 
GRACE
 
Adam,  every time Trip is unhappy he rushes out and buys some new gadget.
 
 
TRIP
 
What are you talking about? You're always buying stuff...
 
 
GRACE
 
Trip, you're the one who's always bringing home an electric lemon zester or automatic creme Brule torch. 
 
 
ADAM
 
and dildos
 
 
TRIP
 
See Grace, as usual you're making something out of nothing...
 
 
GRACE
 
Uhh...
 
 
ADAM
 
buying dildos is something trip
 
 
GRACE
 
Let's keep talking about Trip.
 
 
GRACE
 
Damn it, Trip, you and my parents are always planning these stupid trips I have to go on..
 
 
ADAM
 
yes lets
 
 
TRIP
 
They're vacations! Expensive ones at that!
 
 
GRACE
 
Of course nobody thinks to ask me what I want. 
 
 
ADAM
 
what do you want grace?
 
 
GRACE
 
What?
 
 
TRIP
 
Ah, you want to know more. Thank you, that helps her. Grace, you never want to go on vacation with me and your parents - so I have to plan everything!
 
 
GRACE
 
Uhh..
 
 
TRIP
 
Adam,  this is so...
 
 
ADAM
 
tell me about your parents
 
 
GRACE
 
My childhood was a nightmare. My parents never let me make my own decisions...

GRACE
 
Trip, they were manipulative, -- (interrupted)
 
 
GRACE

GRACE
 
See, Trip, they ruined everything for me.
 
 
TRIP

TRIP
 
 (frustrated sigh)
 
 
ADAM

ADAM

TRIP
 
Look, let's talk about us both, not just one of us.
 
 
TRIP
 
It's so annoying... Grace, why is it that anytime I want to do something nice for you, you resist it?
 
 
ADAM
 
grace are you on your period
 
 
TRIP
 
It's just never easy with you, Grace, and it wears me down. -- (interrupted)
 
 
GRACE
 
(frustrated sigh)

ADAM

GRACE

GRACE
 
Ah, you disagree, see, that might actually help him...
 
 
GRACE
 
 See, Trip, you claim you're 'reaching out', but really, you're... you're holding things back...
 
 
TRIP
 
What...?  I, I -- I'm hold -- I'm holding...?
 
 
ADAM

TRIP
 
Okay, I'm sick of this bullshit!!

ADAM

TRIP
 
about me... 
 
 
TRIP
 
about our marriage...
 
 
TRIP
 
Do you really want the truth? Huh?
 
 
TRIP

TRIP
 
Grace, huh?
 
 
GRACE
 
Yes...!
 
 
ADAM

TRIP
 
Adam,  see I've actually been paying close attention to what you've been saying.
 
 
TRIP
 
You've really been pushing me tonight.
 
 
TRIP
 
It makes me wonder if you're really my friend or not.
 
 
ADAM

GRACE
 
Trip!
 
 
TRIP
 
Adam,  Quit interrupting me, let me finish!

TRIP
 
criticizing Grace...
 
 
TRIP
 
praising Grace...
 
 
TRIP
 
acting inappropriately to me...
 
 
TRIP
 
flirting with Grace...
 
 
TRIP
 
telling me I'm not communicative...
 
 
TRIP
 
suggesting that we have more sex...
 
 
TRIP
 
suggesting that we get divorced...
 
 
TRIP
 
and what you said about wanting the same thing as your husband... 
 
 
TRIP
 
that I'm supposed to realize something about myself from all that?
 
 
TRIP
 
Is what you've said tonight supposed to add up somehow, to something?
 
 
ADAM
 
yes
 
 
ADAM
 
yes it is
 
 
TRIP
 
Okay.
 
 
TRIP

Bullshit.
 
 
GRACE

You've been secretly painting?  When --
 
 
GRACE
 
Everytime you go on a goddamn business trip, I paint.

GRACE
 
And no,    Adam,  hold on...
