- Chapter 8 + Chapter 2 VO Release - 11 June 2025
Chapter 8 and voice acting for chapter 2 have now been released! Much like chapter 6, chapter 8 is very much focused on the fallout of what happened in the previous chapter and what that means for the characters going forward. Tensions are heightened to their absolute limit and relationships are put to the test through the continued dangers of the Isolated Society Study. Can Maggie and the others pick up the pieces after the losses that happened the previous day, or will the group as a whole fall into even more disarray, all while playing directly into the Golding Foundation's hands?Through our play testing, we estimate the length of day 8 to be about 3-4 hours. Please feel free to report any bugs you find in the game, so that we can address those issues quickly.

- Chapter 7 Release and Chapter 1 Voice Acting - 29 November 2024
Chapter 7 and voice acting for chapter 1 have been simultaneously released! In 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…
- Chapter 7 Incoming! - 12 November 2024
We've been working hard and are happy to announce that the seventh chapter of Friendly Facade will be releasing later this month, on November 29th! 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 situation 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. It is precisely because we wish to keep many aspects of this chapter under wraps that we will not be releasing a trailer for this chapter, but I can assure…
- Chapter 6 Release! - 5 July 2024
We are super excited to announce that the sixth chapter of Friendly Facade has been released! Be sure to watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKjt5jV9Hf8 Chapter 6 revolves heavily around how the characters react and grapple with the rapidly developing situation that day 5 has put in motion with a focus on their psychological states. There are many new revelations and developments that happen in this chapter, so we are excited for you all to have a chance to play it. Through our play testing, we estimate the length of day 6 to be about 3-4 hours. I wish I could go into more detail, but I do not want to risk spoiling anything about this stage of the game. After what happened at the end of day 5, the Isolated Society Study has become something else entirely... We hope you enjoy playing this new chapter and continue to support the game. Thank you so much. -Robbie As alwa…
- Chapter 4 & 5 Release! - 9 February 2024
Hello Friendly Facade community. It's finally time for chapters 4 and 5 of Friendly Facade to be released! Unlike our previous content updates, this release features two days, both day 4 and day 5, instead of just one! Be sure to watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsYyo_Wa8Cw This is the largest and most transformative content update yet, so we are very excited to see everyone's reactions to it. Through our play testing, we estimate the length of days 4 and 5 to be about 5-6 hours. The minigame for day 4 is split into four smaller activities, each with a different gimmick that needs to be played around. Days 4 and 5 play off of each other immensely, which is the reason we are releasing them at the same time. Together, they form the most climactic part of the entire game thus far, packed with plenty of reveals, and offers resolution to many of the mysteries and confl…

- Chapter 3 has been released! - 29 September 2023
Chapter 3 is here! Chapter 3 offers a few more hours of content packed with rich character moments and the intriguing continuation of the Friendly Facade Story. This is the most character-driven chapter yet and offers a minigame that has a unique change of pace compared to the previous 2. Check the previous post for more details: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2256920/view/3665422306549625285 In addition to the details I mentioned previously, I'd also like to note that the artwork for all of the sprites have been touched up and improved with better shading and texture. An example of this can be seen below. Additionally, this is a reminder that the text log can be toggled on and off during dialogue using the 'L' key going forward (this is now explained in chapter 1, but if you're picking back up the game with chapter 3, you will have missed this tutorial). To play chapter 3, you…
- Chapter 3 Trailer, Details, and Release Date - 8 September 2023
Hello once again Friendly Facade community. We are very excited to announce that chapter 3 of Friendly Facade will be releasing on September 29th! You can check out the trailer for chapter 3 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj3vjgLIkvA This chapter will include another large expansion to the story on the same level as chapters 1 and 2. Through our play testing, we estimate the length of chapter 3 to be about 2-3 hours. There will also be another new minigame that is split into two phases. The first phase will require thoughtful decision making that will influence the second phase. The second phase will be the most hands-on minigame in the game. Chapter 3 will also be the most character-driven chapter so far. We are excited for you to experience the backstories and developments of the characters in this chapter as the conflict boiling just beneath the surface in the Isolated Society…
- Chapter 2 Release! - 23 June 2023

There are also new character moments and mysteries to discover!

- Chapter 2 Trailer, Details, and Release Date - 10 June 2023
Hello Friendly Facade community. We are very excited to release chapter 2 of the game, coming June 23rd. Check out the trailer for chapter 2 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIIpjAOb3rw&ab_channel=FriendlyFacade This chapter will include a large expansion to the story, almost doubling it in size. Through our play testing, we estimate the length of chapter 2 to be about 2-4 hours. It also includes a brand new mini-game which is far more in-depth than anything seen in chapter 1. I hope you'll find the character developments and reveals in chapter 2 as intriguing as we do, as the mystery of the Isolated Society Study becomes even more complex and the underlying distrust and conflict grows more apparent. With the release of chapter 2, we will be raising the price of the game slightly. For those that already have Friendly Facade in their steam library, you will be able to continue to en…
