Façade

1001 Video Games

Façade appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.

Development

Façade, a five year, spare time effort, was meant to be a research project in artificial intelligence. This research seems to have paid off, impressing fellow game designers and journalists enough to be called "The future of video games" by the New York Times.

Sequel

By November 2006, a follow-up of Façade was said to be in the works with the working title The Party. Instead of only featuring two NPC's it was to have ten NPC's and was suppose to be a longer and more in depth game. A twitter post from Michael Mateas, dated December 3, 2013, confirmed that he was not currently working on it.
