![]() ![]() Overall Score: 67% D – Average Game For Girls Replay Value: 0/10 – No need to replay – it is a linear short game with only 1 achievement and 1 story and 1 ending. Music: 8/10 – what’s there is very nice and adds to the emotion – just there wasn’t much there really. Graphics: 5/10 – Oldschool graphics don’t bother me, but for most people they’re not gonna be their cup of tea. At first I couldn’t connect with the characters, but that changed by act 2. It was short, but it was sufficient.Ĭharacters: 9/10 – Once you figure out what’s happening, you see their lives from different perspectives and points of view, each building more character depth and revealing more about each character’s inner thoughts and feelings. Didn’t like Act 1, but the rest was good and pulled me in. Sweetie: 5/5 – Once you figure out who or what everyone’s roles are in the game, it’s very sentimental indeed. Geeky: 4/5 – Yes it only has pixel “RPG Maker” style graphics, but it deals with time travel and scifi geeky themes. Short, sweet, mysterious, intriguing, and thought-provoking, all of these are words I would use to describe the story of Impostor Factory. The dialogue in Impostor Factory is usually pretty good, sometimes a little cheesy, but mostly heartfelt and endearing.Įventually, once you figure out what’s going on near the end, there is a large emotional impact, so you do end up caring about the characters in the end, it’s just a slow build up before they really connect the dots there. Often times the game relies simply on ambient background sounds, but when it does use actual music, it is very beautiful. The game soundtrack is both equal parts memorable and minimal. You’re thrown in not knowing anything about any of the characters and it takes a long time to really build that emotional connection. I’d say Impostor Factory has more of a mysterious and dark tone. Like To The Moon, Impostor Factory also deals with illness, age, death, and regrets and unfinished business. – I feel like To The Moon was longer – but it’s been years since I played so perhaps I remember it incorrectly. ![]() I clocked about 5 hours, but I went AFK a few times during that – so probably average playtime will be around 4 hours for most folks. That emotion slowly begins to build in Acts 2 and 3 – and really hits home at the game’s end. I really disliked the first act of Impostor Factory – not only because it’s repetitive and confusing (intentionally so on both those accounts) – but because it lacked the emotion of the first game. That doesn’t mean it was a bad game though. But for me, it didn’t live up to its predecessor. I’d been very excited for Impostor Factory for a long time. I had thought I reviewed To The Moon here at some point, but I couldn’t find the review to link to it, so perhaps not. You will see some familiar characters from To The Moon by the end. Impostor Factory is meant to be a prequel in a way to To The Moon, although it’s slow to link the puzzle pieces together. They have a few other games under their belts including To The Moon, which is probably their most famous title. For the rest, we’ll just wait until late 2020 when To the Moon 3: Impostor Factory comes out for PC, where it may mark the end of an era for the series.I just finished Impostor Factory, a little short indie game by Freebird Games. And that is apparently one third of the game’s plot. And now Freebird Games returns to make a whole trilogy with To the Moon 3: Impostor Factory…and as seen in the first trailer below, you likely won’t know what to expect this time around.ĭescribed as a “bonkers time-loop tragicomedy murder mystery thriller involving multiple casualties and a suspicious cat,” the latest entry is the story of Quincy, a man invited to a suspicious party at a secluded mansion where he discovers that the bathroom has a time machine in it, and then this leads to the start of people dying, and then tentacles and Lovecraftian horror are involved. ![]() Their tales of a team of scientists using technology to help dying people live the full lives they’ve always wanted have been some of the most well-crafted and unique tales out there. 2011’s To the Moon and its sequel, 2017’s Finding Paradise, have been two of the most notable adventure/RPG games on the indie scene (or in all of gaming in general, arguably). ![]()
