Facade – Response

Sep 16, 2013 by bganter

To start things off I’m not used to word text games as I never played one before. It was interesting and fun, as it hurts to admit, to feel that you have some leverage over the way the plot will reveal it self. Then I played it for the first time, Trip and Grace, seemed to be round characters but after playing few more times they became very dull. I managed to finish the game twice out of six tries and both times the plot was practically one and the same.

First it was Trip that cheated on Grace with some Maria and the way Grace responded what killed the interest.  Grace did not engage in this branch of the plot and simply ignored it. Second time I finished it it was exactly the same thing but this time Grace cheated with her old roommate. As for the last four tries I got so bored of the game that I keep telling them to get a divorce but no they want to work thing out and kick me out.

Sad to say but the limitations of a proper conversation was what killed my hope ties word text games and not the awful graphics the decorations.
