15 itemsAbout the Game
IN THE FACADE WE TRUST™ traps you in a corridor caught in an ever changing and increasingly unsettling loop. With each cycle, you’ll notice subtle differences, but your objective in this corridor is not just to observe the changes. As the narrative unfolds, you will be forced to place your trust in someone during each cycle. The catch? Who you choose to trust will depend on both the knowledge you’ve gained from previous cycles and the unfolding events in the current one.
In this spine-tingling narrative, you will encounter two intriguing figures. The girl, who is obsessed with you, seems helpful, yet enigmatic. Her presence is both comforting and unsettling, as she desperately seeks your trust while not wanting you to uncover her secrets. You will find yourself drawn to her, but also feeling uneasy about her true intentions.
On the other hand, the creature embodies an unknown truth. It seems terrifying and unpredictable. Although it appears threatening, there is an unsettling charm that beckons you to uncover the reality behind its existence.
Both characters will challenge your perceptions, choices, and trust with their words. But be cautious. The one you do not choose may complicate your next cycle, making it more difficult, tense, and terrifying. It will try to confuse you and do everything in its power to undermine your trust in the one you chose.
