Ready for more adventuring that might make you need a tissue to dry your eyes? Freebird Games are back for the third game in the To The Moon series with Impostor Factory.
Described as a "bonkers time-loop tragicomedy murder mystery thriller featuring multiple casualties and a suspicious cat" I still don't quite get if it's a sequel, a prequel or what. The good thing is you don't need to know either, as it's playable completely standalone to their previous games. This time the story is focused on a character named Quincy, who was invited to some sort of party at a suspicious secluded mansion that has a time machine in the bathroom and somewhere along the way people start dying.
Direct Link
Looks like the native Linux build had a couple of compatibility issues when it first went out, which the developer seems to have resolved in record time. Wonderful to see how active they are at ensuring it works well for Linux gamers.
You can buy Impostor Factory on Steam.

And so far I've been really enjoying it. It's very bizarre at times, and also quite touching.
Quoting: GBGames... I should play To the Moon first, and so I started it.

My review from back when I played To The Moon:
It's pixelated, it's ugly, scrolling is bumpy, controls are broken, path finding doesn't work, the puzzles are superfluous, pacing is bad, the action sequences are nonsense, the jokes sometimes fall flat...
... but it's wonderful game about
Spoiler, click me
Looking forward for the next one.

Quoting: GuestQuoting: GBGamesWhat a weird coincidence! Yesterday I happened to look at my collection of GOG games, see A Bird Story and think, "I've been meaning to play that" before realizing it was the second game they made and that I should play To the Moon first, and so I started it.

I'm pretty sure Finding Paradise is the second game. A Bird's Story is a short and AFAIK not part of the To The Moon Series.
It is a little side story for Finding Paradise that was released before it. Not mandatory, but definitely related.

live, love and death.
I have (nearly) exactly the opposite view.
It has a cute pixel-art look, no issues with the puzzles or the pacing. The action sequences I could do without, yeah
The story starts great, yeah, I like it, but...
