changedChapter 7 and voice acting for chapter 1 have been simultaneously released!
changedIn case you missed the last post, Chapter 7 is the most climatic chapter so far with the biggest and most impactful twists yet that will recontextualize much of what has been seen previously in Friendly Facade. The chapter explores the consequences that befall the participants of the Isolated Society Study after the tragic murder of one of them at the hands of another. Having only just barely beginning to recover from the previous death, Maggie is again thrust into a position where she has to struggle through a seemingly hopeless situation. Through our play testing, we estimate the length of day 7 to be about 4-5 hours and if you've stuck with us on this journey this far, you will get a lot out of experiencing this chapter. Much of the chapter revolves around information and relationships that were developed in previous chapters.
changedWe hope that voice acting for chapter 1 will elevate the experience and make the game more accessible and enjoyable for newcomers as well as those who want to revisit where the story began. We plan to continue supporting voice acting for the rest of the chapters in the future.
changedAdditionally, when implementing voice acting into the game, I reworked much of the game's audio systems. Now you can alter the master volume as well as the volume of music, sound effects, and voice acting independently of each other while playing the game. Please feel free to report any bugs you find in the game, audio or otherwise, so that we can address those issues quickly.
addedAs always, to access the new content, either load a save from the end of day 6 or use the chapter select menu and click on day 7.
addedWe hope you look forward to playing this new chapter and continue to support the game. Thank you so much.
