Greetings, Drifters! We have rare news: Some time after we released Hyper Light Drifter, our teammate Teddy Dief set off on their own, to explore different realms of game design and storytelling, building a new team from our native Los Angeles. Im excited to share that today, the fruits of Teddy & teams labor is released: We Are OFK
A musical origin story & Interactive E.P. from Los Angeles indie pop band OFK. A story of the creative process, and the things that get in the way, created by a cross-industry collaboration of game designers, animators, pop musicians, and live television actors. STORY Itsumi Saito just moved Downtown and broke up with her long-term girlfriend, leaning into her dream of making it in music. But juggling practice, friends, a brutal commute to the west side, and a full-time job... Itsu struggles to establish herself in the cutthroat music scene of LA. When she talks her way into a shmoozy Hollywood party and befriends a rising music producer, she sees a chance to bring her dreams a little closer. We Are OFK is the origin story of a new, real virtual band OFK - told in 5 episodes, delivered to you weekly and included in your purchase of the game. MUSIC OFK is, in fact, a proper virtual band. If youre a fan of Gorillaz, Hatsune Miku, or K/DA, you know what I mean. The music is glittery-yet-somber bedroom pop, and you can listen to 2 songs now, with more released in the weeks to come. Check out OFK on music streaming services
