Interactions
Main article: Endings
The player's primary directive in Facade is to determine the course of events through the engine's interactive input. Consequently, they can either reconcile Trip and Grace's failing marriage through extrapolation of their secrets, causing them to admit their past wrongdoings, or if the player so chooses, they may drive the tenuous couple apart or even get themselves kicked out for breaches of conduct, specifically vulgarity or adulterous tendencies toward one of the two.
