    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.

I definitely recommend it and I hope that Freebird continues to develop games in this series, which are very worthwhile.    … Expand

    Since this game does a different proposal than the previous ones from the series, I decided to make this in a manual format on how to not get dissapointed with Impostor Factory, as it would be possible, because this game has two previous game to hold up to, and as mentioned before, it's different.

    Kan Gao said in an interview years ago that he wanted to make a psychological thriller, for marketing reasons, he decided to call it the Episode X of the To The Moon series. It's safe to say this game, for the sake of diversity, focuses more on mystery presentation and solution than the emotional appeal than To The Moon and Finding Paradise. That's how the game should be played, a mystery game with a drama background.
    It's not unfair to say that this game is what Final Fantasy XII means for the Final Fantasy series, different structure, but with tons of references to previous titles to make you feel familiar with.    … Expand

    The writing in this series is insanely sharp, thought provoking and mindblowing. The music is as beautiful is as beautiful as ever and the story as confusing as ever. However, it isn't confusing because of story mistakes or plot holes, it's confusing because you take in a lot in a short amount of time. In the end you might sit there and wonder why you liked it as much as you did becauseThe writing in this series is insanely sharp, thought provoking and mindblowing.

In the end you might sit there and wonder why you liked it as much as you did because you didn't even understand half of it. While I do miss the simpler storytelling of "To the Moon" this game deserves the praise it gets and I am excited to see where the series goes next, if anywhere.… Expand

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    Once again, an incredibly good and touching story driven game made by Freebird games. I highly recommend playing the other 2 games of the series so you can understand this one.

    It is a pretty good expansion of the world of the To The Moon series, not as touching, but explained some mysteries from prior games

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game with a huge focus on story, characters, and world-building. I don't remember the last time when the story absorbed me so much. Yes, there are a few bugs here are there, but nothing game-breaking. Usually minor visual glitches.… Expand

    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.
