Facade

http://facadegame

Facade is an indoor interactive adventure where you play as a random person. The graphics are actually quite good for a ‘90’s game. You start off being invited over to Trip and Grace’s house, but then things start to go wrong. There is a problem with the speech as there is an unfair limit to how much you can type. Also, they love to kick you out for unfair reasons. Such as, if trip says hi and you say melon he will immediately shut you out. Also the loading screen takes forever.

Once Upon A Life

http://Newgrounds


In Once Upon A Life you play a golden oldie called Henry, who has lost the pages in his diary. As you collect the right amount of memories, he recites some of his memories. It presents a good amount of challenge, as well as allowing you to do all sorts of minigames. The graphics are lovely cartoony graphics that suit it well. It has brilliant voice actors, and the game makes you do things you wouldn’t even think of originally doing. There are also some sad parts such as when Henry recites his wife, Marianna, dying. The game is a very funny game of mixed emotions and activities.
