I can't say I'd actually have been interested in a game like that either.
But it was sort of amusing when my mother's character would get depressed on
a whim and fall asleep on the floor, thereby missing her ride to work. Or
attempt to cook a meal and instead set the kitchen on fire. And the voice
acting was all done in this funky fake language with subtitles for us
English speakers.

Vender: No pizza. Only Khlav Kalash.

I must confess I've never really seen the point of such games myself, I can
see the point in something strategical such as sim city, but things like
the sims have always struck me as basically a glorified tamagochi.
In terms of audio interface, ---- well there are already textual versions
of such things (check out the alter ego game at
http://www.theblackforge.net/ for instance, and there are probably
others)..
I suppose something with audio events and acting could be created, ----
though as I said I must admit I've not really ever seen the point in such
things myself, ---- I suppose though I've always been a bit more hard core
in my gaming and wanted more exploration personally.
Of course, this isn't to say it's a bad idea, ---- just a concept i've
never really found personally interesting, --- but that of course is just
me.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

It'd be interesting to see if a game like The Sims could be created,
where rather than building a city you create an individual character and
try to build a life for that character with house, job and things like
that. I remember we bought a Game Cube version of the game for my mom a
few years back. It was quite funny since if you didn't do things exactly
right the character would get depressed and fall asleep at odd hours of
the day and things like that.
