Looking better than ever but reducing the gameplay elements even further, Impostor Factory manages to weave a supernatural time travel murder mystery starring a whole new character into the series’ existing tapestry, giving the game a unique-yet-familiar flavor.

This is Freebird's best work, a narrative driven game emotionally packed, but also full of humor and great characters.

Impostor Factory is another incredibly written and deeply emotional story from Freebird Games. The game is in some ways a victim of diminishing returns, but still delivers laughs and tears aplenty.

Having played "To the moon" already, this game felt very familiar. If you have not played that game, play either of these: Playing both - to me - didn't add that much.

Acabei de completar o jogo em uma única ****... SENSACIONAL!!!
O jogo é super leve, no sentido de que você pode passar horas jogando sem se cansar. Isso também se dá graças à história envolvente e muito bem construída. Por isso, você se pega envolvido e emocionado durante grande parte do jogo, quando você não está paralisado pelas lições e também pela trilha sonora. Entre tantas outras mensagens que o jogo passa, ele passa uma muito bonita sobre a vida e como impactamos algumas pessoas sem nem mesmo percebermos. Vale muito a pena jogar!!! OBS: A cena mais linda desse jogo é quando o pai da Lynri (Bill) fala com ela no sótão... "...Eu sei que aqueles que deixam uma marca geralmente a deixam mesmo sem querer."
"...Significar o mundo todo pra alguém ainda conta pra alguma coisa, não é?"

Yet another masterpiece by Kan Gao, probably the most solid and balanced overall. The story of Quincy and Lynri passes through regrets, remorse, fears and IF. Gao's writing is always impeccable and is capable of never falling into the banal, even when it touches themes already abused in the medium and in narration in general. So far my very personal best game of the year.

It’s really unfair assign a mark to this game. It’s unfair not because it’s a bad game, but because it’s complex and almost disrespectful to crush this work into a sterile number. A videogame that is also a “non-videogame”, and it knowingly turns this flaw into strength, telling us a love story that turns into a reflection upon reality and the nature of choosing, surrounding it with a beautiful painting done with pixels.

so touching (well at least this time I did not cry, haha). But I can affirm that the narrative in how you are gradually discovering the story is the best of the series, from the moment you start the game you will not want to stop until you finish it. I definitely recommend it and I hope that Freebird continues to develop games in this series, which are very worthwhi

Freebird games have always been funny in a gentle way that doesn’t clash with the games’ tender yet challenging emotional core. In Impostor Factory, the team has taken a big swing by including full-on horror, as well as a complex meta-story involving the nature of science and time itself. And the humor is both slapstick and risky, letting players release tension as they explore the gore and mind-bending moral conundrums posed by the game’s story. The boxing cat and the sentient rice cooker are a welcome bonus.

Impostor Factory doesn't punch emotionally like To The Moon and Finding Paradise, but Kan Gao's and Freebird Games' skills are still intact.

Impostor Factory teases and deceives, involves and strangles. It doesn't have the destabilizing power of To The Moon, nor the brain balance of Finding Paradise, but that's okay.

On its own, Impostor Factory is a decent adventure with occasionally interesting story elements and mostly enjoyable dialogue. But as part of the otherwise great series, it's a disappointing misstep.

Шедевр. Кто-то говорит, что эта часть сдаёт по сравнению с предыдущими. Не соглашусь. Кто-то говорит, что концовка будет не совсем понятна новичкам, не игравшим в предыдущие части. Соглашусь. Но это можно решить таким образом: не проходите более поздние части игр до прохождения более ранних. Крайне рекомендую к покупке. Masterpiece. Some people say, this part is losing positions comparing with previous ones. I don't agree. Some people say, the ending won't be understood by newcomers, who haven't played previous games. I agree. This can be solved this way: don't play newer parts of games before playing previous ones. Highly recommended.

Freebird Games again brings us a fantastic story, it is incredible how they can make such emotional stories with such a limited technical section, they always make you see yourself immersed in their beautiful plots. This time the game is not so touching (well at least this time I did not cry, haha). But I can affirm that the narrative in how you are gradually discovering the story is the best of the series, from the moment you start the game you will not want to stop until you finish it. I definitely recommend it and I hope that Freebird continues to develop games in this series, which are very worthwhile.

Barely worth the time to play it. Hardly worth the wait. The murder loop mystery makes no sense and isn't properly explained even at the end. The personal story starts out strong and then fizzles out. Maybe that's why To the Moon had the reverse timeline set up. Conclusion would be to just stop at the first game.
SummaryA bonkers time-loop tragicomedy murder mystery thriller featuring multiple casualties and a suspicious cat, from the creator of To the Moon & Finding Paradise.
