The past little while I've been playing with a game called Façade. It's free, and I recommend it! It came out years ago though so this may be OLD NEWS to you.

I'm a grad student in Michael Mateas' lab at UC Santa Cruz (though I think he was in Georgia when he made this), so we play it quite a bit. It's kind of a running joke that every object in the apartment is a phallic symbol (think about it!).

Anyway, it's a pretty neat advance in combining ludology and narrative with AI techniques, and if you are interested in reading a paper on it here one is!

Thank you so much. This is awesome.

(Also I work on AI using http://www.opencog.org - we're making use of Wordnet and the CMU link-grammar parser for doing NLP. Making a game like this would be a good demo for how awesome we are.)

I suggest you do it because I like playing games!
