About
Friendly Facade is a visual novel with point and click and strategy mini-games incorporated into key story moments to immerse the player in the experience. The game explores how each character's background and strongly held ideals inform their personality, decision-making, and strategy in tense situations. Every character has their own goals and motivations and form a web of interpersonal relationships that intersect and collide with each other to form a rich, nuanced story where not everyone is able to get a happy ending. Inside the peaceful confines of the Isolated Society Study, competition, manipulation, and betrayal run rampant, and this is before the Golding Foundation intervenes, changing the rules of the game, and the fates of those 16 individuals trapped within it, forever...
Can you solve the mystery of the Golding Foundation, and dispel the facades that all 16 characters in this story use to mask their deepest, darkest secrets?

Reviews
(Review after finishing Chapter 6 which was released in July 2024) Friendly Facade is a visual novel reminiscent of Your Turn to Die with some impressive character writing. I particularly like the main character Maggie who gives off an anime protagonist vibe but had moments of agency and subtle flaws I wouldn't have expected. It has a slow start in theory, but the writing in these sections is brisk and punctuated by interesting minigames, and as of chapter 6 it gets quite a bit more exciting. Can't wait to play the rest of it.

(SPOILERS). I just finished day 2 and I think that the game was very fun, it felt as if I wasn't being punished too much for mistakes and that it has repeatability if you choose too. I enjoyed the plot and some of the characters are really fun to interact with. I think some of Maggie's relationships are a little forced example: Finn... :) and some of the results also feel like i'm being pigeonholed or feel too predictable. I did really enjoy the mystery aspect, and especially Blake's character, in addition the weakness files are a great aspect but I think they were given away too quickly. Overall this was a game that my girlfriend and I enjoyed playing together and Rain is the best character no cap #teamgoth #teamgirlypop #Williamsucks :).
