What players say

This is the second-to-last game in the To the Moon series. As with the previous titles, you can expect gorgeous pixel art, a beautiful soundtrack, expressive animations, and a lot of reading. Fortunately, the writing is top-notch. It leans far more toward a walking simulator than a traditional video game. In fact, Impostor Factory features even less player interaction than its predecessors. There are no more puzzles...

Who ever is able, should experience this game series. One of the best story telling and dialogues . Someone might say it's life itself with all the ups and downs, all the if's and everything in between, beautifully imagined and narrated. 10/10
