Description
If you haven't ever played Facade, you're quite definitely missing out.The game's plot concerns the marriage of Trip, an excitable manchild who has a fixation with making drinks and yet never seems to give them to you, and Grace, an irritable and unpredictable artist without any apparent taste.
While gameplay is supposed to involve typing words at them until they decide to fix their marriage, the real fun lies in using Facade to be as rude as possible and exploit the stupidities of the AI until Trip has no choice but to pick you up and carry you out the door.
I hesitate to call it So Bad It's Good, but it kind of is. For a two person project, it's rather impressive, but Trip and Grace still act nothing like rational human beings, and the serious tone becomes laughable when applied to a game with this level of technical quality, which is to say, very little.
As far as this drawing goes, it's rather large and I should've been doing anything else. I tried to design it so it could be seen from the top or bottom, but Trip's drawing was better so I had him stand right side up. (The background is made entirely out of Trip and Grace's dialogue.)
You can download Facade for free here: [link]
(Don't worry, it's completely legal; the game is freeware.)
Also where are you guys getting linked here from holy schmuck

You're not wrong about the AI being Stupid. I mean really, even though the game is said to have ''over 28,000 lines of dialogue''. It just seems to me like they are stupid. I can't wait for a remake in the future, with Turing Tested AI. And you can have different Trip's and Grace's who actually know about the news, football, and have different hobbies, or you can choose the original but they still are super intelligent. If you ask me, the game really should allow you to beat up Trip and humiliate him.
Really, why can't they just make a game like this, splash Millions of Dollars or Pounds on it. And get professional voice actors to record over 200,000 lines of dialogue so the game never gets boring? In fact, they should hire people who have real hobbies that are varied, I wonder if the actors are still in that neo-futurist theatre group.
There are four things that will drive the game along, the photo of Italy, Grace's Decorating, Trip's Bar and the Wedding Photo.
And don't get me started on Melons.

You people have to try going to the kitchen as fast as you can when trip tries to kick you out. I stayed there for a few minutes and they just stood there then got outta the kitchen and the only thing they could do was make faces and say "yeah no" and blablabla But They couldn't kick me out after, it was so awesome XD

Ha, I watched pewdiepie play this game so I downloaded and gave it a try. I kept saying "SOMEBODY GET ME SOME ALCOHOL!"
This picture just about sums the game up

That's a really spot on description. I love it when you get the best possible ending by being either a complete ass or by saying nonsensical things. I once saved their marriage by trying to sell them a Russian bride.

Ah Trip, if he wasn't such a jerk, I'd probably consider liking him...

So happy you put "Jesper" in there--by far the funniest name in the game.

I probably didn't use it. It does have "We'll be fine, you just have to go.", though.

I accidentally found that one while mulling through the game's audio files, and the second I heard it I had to run into the game to try to trigger it.
It's certainly one of my favorite lines.

Melon!!
The game isn't being so friendly towards my laptop, and I am not exactly great at finding things to fix games on it either ; ; It's such a bad game, but it's so funny.

If anyone else recommended this, I wouldn't bother. But the art. THE ART MAKES ME NEED TO TRY.

I never drew Keisha Fabo, but now I feel like I've been challenged.
Oh, and if you're not sold on the game, BarryDennen12's Facade videos kind of prove how much fun the game can be, at least if you're a guitar wielding Australian.

ahhhh
the game has just enough intelligence to make me feel weird to interact with. Like I'm talking to real people almost, but not. So I can't really reason with them. So it's awkward.
I want to "beat" the game first, then have fun with it. So I can ease into it.

It's uncomfortable at first, but once you expect it it's hilarious how clearly fake they are.
Like, ask them something simple, like "can I use your bathroom?" and they look at you like you're a madman, because they don't have a bathroom and don't know what it is.
