Impostor Factory is an adventure game by Freebird Games. It is the third major installment in the Sigmund Corp. series after To the Moon and Finding Paradise. The game was released on September 30th, 2021 on Steam for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux.[1]
Development[]
Impostor Factory was first announced on March 9th, 2019 on director Kan Gao's YouTube channel as a title preview video.[2] It was not yet confirmed whether the game would be a part of the Sigmund Corp. series. A second (joke) trailer was released on November 29th, 2019, revealing that the game was slated to release at the end of 2020.[3]
The official trailer premiered on August 5th, 2020.[4] It prominently features an unnamed lady in a red dress, presumably the same one featured in the promotional posters. Laura Shigihara, whose vocals were featured in the previous major installments, is noticeably missing from the credits; Kan stated in the Freebird Games Discord server that he thought her voice wasn't suited for the game's darker theme.[5]
In November 2020, Kan Gao announced that the release date was pushed back to spring 2021.[6] It was further delayed per a July 2021 announcement on the game's Steam news page, stating that the game was set to release in September.[7] The game was released on September 30th, 2021.[8][9]
Trivia[]
- There are two songs which play in the game that are not included in the soundtrack album. The first one is heard when Quincy follows Lynri into the manor's kitchen to investigate the smoke, and the second one plays in the university library, soon after Lynri and Quincy first meet, after they both fall asleep while catching up on their work. The latter sounds similar to "Quincy".
