Impostor Syndrome, the closing act of pixellated memory-hopper To The Moon, is beginning out on some weird feat. Matt was sceptical after the teaser dropped this March with nothing however a girl with an umbrella and the promise of “a series of bloody murders.”
Was that scepticism earned? Maybe? Freebird Games launched their first full trailer for Impostor Factory at this time and like, yeah. It’s daft. It’s filled with dabbing. But possibly, behind the goofs and gaffs, there’ll be some well-earned closure for the tear-jerking lunar odyssey.
To The Moon was lovely, melancholy, a heart-wrenching story about dying and reminiscence that basically had little or no to do with that massive pale rock within the sky. It introduced John Walker (RPS in peace) to tears in his To The Moon review. Sequel Finding Paradise wasn’t held fairly as extremely, however it was nonetheless a bloody good follow-up.
Naturally, Impostor Factory wraps issues up with what they name a “bonkers time-loop tragicomedy murder mystery thriller involving multiple casualties and a suspicious cat”. Okay. Freebird do insist that that is a part of the To The Moon sequence (appearing as Episode X), and we get a couple of recurring characters, however they word that the connection is “suspiciously avoided.”
Maybe that’s all the gap it must get away with all that dabbing and homicide, although the trailer does take a while on the finish to settle down. To The Moon balanced its laffs and its tears nicely sufficient, and right here’s hoping Freebird are capable of pull off this weird closing act with out fully dropping what was so charming in regards to the sequence to start with.
This’ll in all probability be the final time we return into orbit, too. The devs declare Impostor Factory will in all probability mark “the end of an era for Freebird Games and the To the Moon series,” no matter meaning.
Impostor Factory will hit Windows, Mac, and Linux on Steam, GOG, and the Humble Store in late 2020
