After years of playing the same kinds of videogames in shinier packages some people finally tried something different and put together a surprisingly good dramatic videogame where you visit a couple and talk with them until someone leaves the home. I've played it about 10 times now and everytime it has been different depending on what I did. It is very interesting and you can even view the screenplay of your drama after you are done. It's freeware and I thought I'd share. Here is the article on it in the Escapist (a nice online videogame magazine) and the link to a place where you can download it. Hopefully bigger name companies will realize there is potential for new genres of games.

The story:

Also, the magazine "The Escapist" is worth looking at too. Very good looking online magazine with interesting articles even if they do sometimes have a hint of elitism.
