When I was 16 playing this, it was a fun little experience. Now, many years later my first thought hearing them was "I rather drink bleach than stay in this room 1 more minute"
The disparity between SGF's usual calm and the absolute ribald nonsense he's typing at this couple while being entirely silent otherwise has me in stitches.
This game is a unique combination of really cool concepts and the most unintentionally hilarious gameplay out there. For 2005 this was pretty damn impressive though and given how AI and voice synthesis has progressed in recent times a reboot could be a very interesting project.
Facade! Played sincerely: a great weird awkward experience of a game! Played shitpostingly: a great weird awkward experience of a game! Seriously, as much as it's easy to break and turn into nonsense, when you actually try to play along, it works pretty damn well and is a pretty impressive feat for an indie game. Also: SuperGonzaloFriend
As an unironic fan of this game, getting Grace to talk about Vince is probably the most difficult ending to get and one of my personal favorites Also I love requesting “Grace’s Inner Soul” when Trip asks you what kind of drink you want
While I don't like that Facade is old enough to get its drivers license, I am very glad SGF found that you can kiss. You're not playing Facade unless you're stealing their "art", kiss everyone, and try to flee while you get kicked out.
This art style is incredible. It's like an Okami sort of thing where they recreated a static 2D art style in 3D, but instead of beautiful sumi-e paintings, it's shitty MS Paint drawings.
"Maybe you can help me to figure out where I went wrong with decorating our new apartment" Well Grace, let me tell you, black walls with yellow accents, and ridiculous knick-knacks lying around that look like they'd belong to some kinda supervillain? Bold choice, I must say, but I don't think "Bat-Cave" is in style right now. Oh, by the way, I have the suspicions that the way things unfold depends upon the name you choose. I remember playing about 10 times with the same name, and now matter what, it would always go the same way, pretty much nothing happening and then them breaking up. Then I tried another name, and suddenly they were immediately aggressive with each other, I tried another and things went well without much input from me. This way, it appears that you can try things "differently" upon restart, but still other people will get a different experience because they chose a different name, making the game seem way more adaptive and smart than it actually is.
I can debunk this. They're programmed to respond to key words, and positive/negative messages. You can get multiple endings with the same name. I think I still have the manual if anyone would like to see it.
@@woolpuppy Is it just a claim in the manual or backed by actually looking at the game's code? As said, this is an observation I made/hunch I have, but I might be wrong.
I remember reading about this game a long time ago. As far as I remember, it was descrtibed as something that would be cool to see as part of a bigger game, but on its own it didn't quite make it.
Oh my god. It was nice and awkward during the first try (even if it hit a bit too close to home). I was gasping for air during the second try. By the end, my face hurt from all the laughing. Amazing stream, didn't expect Facade would still be this funny~!
Context for those who don't know(pre watching): The game interprets "Melon" as referring to the wife's breasts. At all times, in all contexts. If you say it, ti's basically a killswitch - for yourself.
@@MultiKarmacharger I'm actually pretty sure it IS an intended kill switch people weren't supposed to find. You can say some VILE shit and Trip and Grace will give you three chances before booting you. Melon will ALWAYS result in a boot.
While just goofing around is what's fun for an LP, I do still think do think it's worth it to take the game sincerely, stay on script and take the game seriously and see what the marriage counselor sim is actually trying to do.
I say it 'Fuh-Kayde' on purpouse and nobody will stop me. Yknow, i didn't actually ever see any playthroughs of this back then. Dude it's. It's really been a fuckign long time huh hasn't it? A long time since tumblr. Since finding SGF because Cr1tikal played illbleed. Since skippng school to get a study-room in the public library and watch videos on my phone the whole time. God. Time....Time sure goes on, doesn't it?
"I'm responsible for getting them together" said with the same energy as "Oh you *drank* all the laundry detergent I got!"

I always think the most realistic endings are the ones where they sort of bond over how weird you are, and how much worse you've made things.
This game suits SGF so well. He is so cheeky while also being unflappable. Great counterbalance to the awkwardness of the married couple.
Every line he wrote as Genevra had me rolling!
It's really nice of Grace and Trip to give Kha their apartment. He should call up Genevra. The night doesn't have to be ruined just yet.
He should call Tania. She's just out in the hallway after all
sergio getting pushed out while still holding a glass of chardonnay made tears come out of my eyes
there's something about SGF not being one to usually swear type "hey motherfuckers" as his introduction to trip and grace

Small correction. There's no voice synthesis in this game. Grace and Trip are fully voice acted.
@@deers_ears I think what they meant was that with modern voice synthesis and AI, you could create an interesting re-imagining of Facade.
Facade!

This game's been out for 16 years but it wasn't until today I learned there was an option to kiss.
While I don't like that Facade is old enough to get its drivers license, I am very glad SGF found that you can kiss. You're not playing Facade unless you're stealing their "art", kiss everyone, and try to flee while you get kicked out.
GODS FOR THE ALGORITHM
SUPER GREAT FRIEND FOR THE THRONE
I just love how everyone thinks about the threesome thing, yet the NPCs will never like it.
I remember this game! the mods and youtube videos for this were wild
When SGF just turns around and leaves before he even went inside

(not so) fun fact: the devs behind this game went on to make iraq simulators for the US military
I looked it up specifically because of your comment, and I still felt like I had the wind knocked out of me when I saw DARPA on their website...

@@saraczwei6850 It's in code, they just don't perfectly respond 💯 of the time. Play a few more rounds and tell me what you find.
Someone ought to combine this game with MODE
Oh yes, Facade’s bland couple with SGF’s dry humor, this can only be an amazing work of art
More like SVF... super VULGAR friend! That said, they seriously should have known with Gonzalo. That card!
Jesus this takes me back. Watching Cryaotic play this was my introduction to RUclips.
Getting very strong "board game couple" vibes from Grace and Tripp here
I laughed till I cried I’ve never seen affection act like that and be so calm at the same time
SuperGonzaloFrien
i rarely get to see this side of sgf
´never knew you were such a cheeky lad IRL bruv
Alright, now I want to see old flash stuff like the Ambition series on this channel or Jack Orlando tier nonsense.
Yessssss
as much as I would love to see sgf take on ambition/zapdramatic, the retsupurae lp will always be the definitive version for me

Oh man memories of youtuber cringe
Sergio is like that italian guy from Eurotrip.
YESSSS so glad to see Facade trending again!! :) :) :)
This is Gold.

Hoo boy. The moment you said it was AI-based interaction, I knew we were in for a ride.
The flat neutral wooden one-take of the predetermined names is really, really jarring even considering everything else about this game.
Oh my god.
It was nice and awkward during the first try (even if it hit a bit too close to home).
I was gasping for air during the second try.
By the end, my face hurt from all the laughing.
Amazing stream, didn't expect Facade would still be this funny~!
5:28: Awkward silence, moving things, and ducking into the kitchen
13:27: Threesome, plz!
21:23: Eh, nm, nope
23:18: Depression, popcorn eating, and apartment stealing
42:54: Kiss drunk
47:11: Lobby hangout b/c COVID-19
51:14: Ghostbusters! And wine stealing
1:03:30: GTFO melons
If I had "Friends" that dragged me into their relationship problems like they do I'd have two fewer friends at the end of the night.
Walk in. MELON. 360 outta there.
I want a game like facade where you're a skinwalker trying not to arouse suspicion with "your" friends
i remember you could finish it without saying anything, just giving very vague answers or something
Oh god, I almost died laughing at sergio
Oh, Gonzalo!
Good ol’ Kha.

Soon we'll be looking back and laughing awkwardly about how SGF was the one who facilitated us all getting to meet each other, ten years ago.
Tried to play this once and I just walked out. I mean in what real life situation do you not?
Holy shit
What year is this?
The same year SGF is playing Shadowman.
I think I'm triggering RUclips's own "melons" because my comments keep getting eaten...
😱
Alright,
Sweet,
I think you should leave.
We'll be fine, you just have to GO.
Trip sucks.
I love Melons lmao!
