I'm shocked by this one. I used to try to make sites like this - websites that mimic real-life interaction a la Microsoft Bob - around 10 years ago.

Although it's an instance of dated web concepts AND it features the dreaded 10 second Flash load wait time, it is an impressive achievement. If only in a "Winchester House" kind of way.

Holy crap, The Cheesecake Factory's website is a 1996-era graphic adventure game!
