Time loops are so in right now
If you’ve played and inevitably still think aboutTo the Moonfrom time to time, then you’ll want to check outImpostor Factory, which justlaunched today on Steam.
Impostor Factoryis the third title in a line of story-focused games from Kan Gao and Freebird Games following 2011’s (has it really been that long?)To the Moonand 2017’sFinding Paradise. While all three are connected, as the director puts it: this one “can be played independently, just like the games before it. Maybe it’s a sequel. Maybe it’s a prequel. Maybe it’s both. But again, there is no prerequisite to playingImpostor Factory.”
Impostor Factory‘s summary is intriguing yet coy, with talk of a mansion, a time machine, a murder mystery, “a long cat,” things getting “a little Lovecraftian,” and “a story that will make you curse at the screen.” And of course, the recurring element that ties these three emotional games together: “Dr. Watts and Dr. Rosalene have peculiar jobs: They give people another chance to live their lives, all the way from the very beginning.”
As one Steam user reviewersummed it up, “Who’s ready to cut onions again?”
I know some of you are all caught up, in which caseImpostorFactoryis ready for you right now, and it’s $9 with a launch discount (normally it’ll be $10). Otherwise, it’s worth mentioning thatTo the MoonandFinding Paradiseare $5 (half price) until October 9.
I have to say, my goodness there are a lot of compelling indie and AA games vying for our time lately. The past couple of weeks have been overwhelming — in a good way.
