aka To The Moon 3(?)
Here’s a trailer from back in August, which captures the spirit of the thing:

Freebird describe the game as a “bonkers time-loop tragicomedy murder mystery thriller involving multiple casualties and a suspicious cat,” which sounds like a riot, but the original To The Moon was renowned mainly for heart-wrenching story. There’s enough tinkling piano in the trailer above that I’d expect to feel things - which is why I probably won’t play it.
To The Moon launched almost ten years ago and was a sensation. John called itthe best game he played that year, between sobs. Its sequelFinding Paradisedidn’t have the same impactin 2017, but was still “a lovely story well told, with great humour, moments of genuine pathos, and plenty of intrigue.”
That’s a good enough track record to think Impostor Factory won’t suddenly drop the big sad ball, although it does sound like it’s not simply repeating old tricks. The murders are new, for one, and Freebird have previously said that while there are a few recurring characters, references to previous games are “suspiciously avoided.” Hmm.
You can pick Impostor Factory up now fromSteamfor a whopping £6.47/€7.37, and if you’ve not played them, To The Moon and Finding Paradise are both currently 50% off.
