Evaluation

Impostor Factory launched on September 30, 2021 as a complete, self-contained narrative game. Both DLC items — a comic and the official soundtrack — were released on the same day as the game itself, indicating they were part of the launch package rather than post-launch additions. Post-launch activity has consisted of localization updates (Turkish added on January 14, 2024; German fixes), a few feature and bug-fix patches, and news posts about other projects in the To the Moon series (the Beach Episode spin-off, a tabletop card game Kickstarter, and a lofi music series). None of these represent new content being added to Impostor Factory itself. On February 2, 2022, Freebird Games posted a development status update explicitly stating that following Impostor Factory's release, the studio was in "a slower period" and "regrouping" before moving on to their "next major project." This confirms the studio considers Impostor Factory a completed release, with their forward focus on other titles. The AU Playbook comic-making tool received a major update on December 23, 2022, but this is a separate free companion app tied to the series rather than new story content for Impostor Factory. No future content has been announced for Impostor Factory. All DLC listed on the store has been released. The developer's own communications confirm the game is complete and that their attention has moved to new projects.

About this game

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Impostor Factory is a narrative-driven adventure game that is categorically out of its mind.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Watts and Dr. Rosalene have peculiar jobs: They give people another chance to live their lives, all the way from the very beginning.

But this isn't their story. Probably.

Instead, it's about Quincy. Let me tell you a story about him.

One day, Quincy was invited to a fancy parteh at a suspiciously secluded mansion. So, he accepted and went; because even though the mansion was suspicious and secluded, it was also fancy and had a parteh.

In fact, it turned out to be so fancy that there was a time machine in its bathroom. Quincy could wash his hands and time-travel while he was at it. Talk about a time-saver!

But of course, then people start dying, because that's what they do. And somewhere along the way, things get a little Lovecraftian and tentacles are involved.

Anyway, that's around 1/3 of what the game is really about.

F.A.Q.:
Q: Is playing To the Moon and Finding Paradise mandatory before playing this game?
A: Impostor Factory can be played independently, just like the games before it. But the order of playing would affect the experience.

Q: Is Impostor Factory the sequel to To the Moon and Finding Paradise?
A: Maybe not. Maybe it's a sequel. Maybe it's a prequel. Maybe it's both.
