Imaginary Friend Institution

this is a really great game! i really love the story and I hope it continues to grow from here on out! good luck guys! your the best!

✅ What I Liked Enjoyable and engaging gameplay Great character designs and overall graphics Fun mascot-horror vibe and atmosphere ⚠️ Issues Noticed Had some bugs early on Developers responded quickly and fixed them 🎯 Final Thoughts A solid pick for fans of mascot horror Definitely recommend giving it a try

I liked a lot this first chapter and I can't wait for the next! The plot is engaging, full of mystery, and the mix of reality and imaginary world works perfectly. I liked a lot Imaginary Friends characters, I found them really well designed. However, I think a correction of some things related to 3D models, UV, lightning (specially at night or dark places) and audio is trully necessary. Sometimes little things like that can ruin a good gaming experience : for example, I had a really hard time in the basement part since the lightning work was really poor and Annabelle and the other elements were barely visible.

I genuinely love the way this game has built on the devs' previous work. Compared to earlier entries, IFI feels incredible open and expansive while still presenting a strong story about these children and their experiences. While the game did have some issues on launch, it seems like a vast majority of those have been fully ironed out. Also new npcs, dialogue, and music are being added with each patch to help the world feel more full and fleshed out. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what they do with the next chapter(s) that they have planned. All in all, if you're looking for a game with great character design, a solid story, and a foundation for the story to continue (as well as a very positive community); this is definitely worth your time.

A personally much anticipated threequel to the Imaginary Friends series, Imaginary Friend Institution is a beautifully unique game you won't find anywhere else. In a world that's simultaneously colorful and bleak, gloomy and hopeful, the story reveals to you its background while setting up mystery and intrigue to keep players going. The artistic evolution and gameplay evolution from its predecessor, Imaginary Friend Asylum, displays beautiful improvement with distinct and expressive designs and more interactive gameplay options (plus a cute charm!) that doesn't feel out of place. The new aspects to gameplay (and a lovely 3rd person perspective) deliver the story in a way I feel does better than it's predecessor, and the voice acting is just a cherry on top! Touches to the game that speak to me personally are the expanded wardrobe (I love playing dress up!), everyone's distinct styles, and of course, the new designs of the Imaginary Friends themselves! While I've run into some issues of the game running a bit slow at times (which could just be my computer), and the game sometimes ending up too dark for me to see well (especially near the end of the game), it did nothing to take away from lovely experience I had playing this game. I can't wait for Chapter 2!

idk why i like this game franchise just give me another chapter

Highly recommend, great game! There are very beautiful costumes, and the map is large and fun to explore. The story is immersive, and there is a wide cast of interesting characters. There are some more in the series, but it stands alone and is easy to understand. Very good, basically.

This game gets 10/10 for me. The voice acting is so beautifully done, salient and poignant when needed, you feel immersed in the characters and really feel polarized by some (I strongly disliked one as my archetype as a person was more aligned with another, and that, to me, is the test of a well built character, when they are fleshed out in a way that makes for controversy). The story is so beautiful, it is just beginning to unfold, but you can feel the bittersweet pain of the protagonist throughout as she finds strength in her friends. The "bad guys" are all ranging from nonsensically bad, the "I just work here" archetypes to truly bone-chillingly villainous and that also adds to the experience. I know there were some bugs in early release, but truly, if you have the opportunity to play it now and enjoy the game, you should. NOT TO MENTION: I LOVE THE SEWING MINI GAME. OMG. Like, I may be the only one, but I coulda bopped and vibed on that for the whole game. I need to find the rest of those patterns. Truly, this game is a treasure. <3
