What is Impostor Factory?

Impostor Factory is another adventure game set in the realities of the world created by Freebird Games. A world where manipulation of memories and a journey into the depths of the human mind is an element of reality, served to humanity by the Sigmund Corp organization. Apart from a common universe shared with To The Moon or Finding Paradise the game shares with these predecessors... practically everything. From the graphic design and gameplay mechanics, to the manner of narration and characteristic humor. This, of course, should be considered one of the advantages of this game, because Impostor Factory maintains the level of the original, and its continuation set among the clouds.

Once again, we are cast in the center of events that elude comprehension, and together with the protagonist, we have to discover the secrets of a huge mansion... But we won't spoil any details – you have to check it out yourself.

What makes it worth it?

No two ways about itImpostor Factory is all about the story. It's as exciting as in To The Moon. Should we add anything else? I am even tempted to say that in terms of the skillful storytelling and the quality of dialogues, Impostor Factory even surpasses the original! The plot is just great. The creators spare us no tears, chills, goose bumps and laughter – in this emotional roller coaster, you will find everything. There are characters that I genuinely and deeply liked, and that only reinforced all the feels. For the first time in this series, there are also some more visceral elements of the story, like blood and violence.
