What it is
Impostor Factory is a narrative-driven adventure game from Freebird Games, centered on Quincy and a strange gathering at a secluded mansion. After accepting an invitation to a party there, Quincy discovers a time machine in the bathroom. People begin dying, and the story brings in time loops, a suspicious cat and Lovecraftian elements. Dr. Watts and Dr. Rosalene, whose work gives people another chance to live their lives from the beginning, are also part of the premise, though the store description notes that this may not be their story. The game is described as a time-loop tragicomedy, murder mystery and thriller. Its style combines adventure-game elements with classic RPG aesthetics, and it is presented as a short, focused experience without time drains. Impostor Factory is single-player and listed for Windows, macOS and Linux. Steam features include achievements, trading cards, Steam Cloud, Family Sharing and partial controller support.
