The game formerly known as We Are OFKYou might remember a certain indie-pop miniseries game called We Are OFK, which started in August 2022 and released episodes up through Sept. 8. OFK is getting a rebrand today, as the developer is changing the name of its episodic adventure to Pop. Love. Panic! The OFK Story.
Announced in a post today (https://twitter.com/OFKband/status/1654553744028372992?s=20) from the group's Twitter account, the band announces that its origin story game has a new name.
"We feel #PopLovePanic fits our story better!" said the band. "'We Are OFK' had a 'If You Know You Know' vibe, and we wanna be better about reaching out to people who haven?t already heard of our band."
The name change coincides with a sale on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1490340/Pop_Love_Panic_The_OFK_Story/), where you can get the full run of Pop. Love. Panic! for 30% off at the moment.

What's in a name?Though it sounds strange, changing the name of a game isn't as uncommon an experience as you'd think. I started back-searching instances in which this has happened, and found plenty of recent examples. Inti Creates retitled Grim Guardians to Gal Guardians (https://www.destructoid.com/grim-guardians-is-set-to-be-retitled-gal-guardians/) in March, and Ubisoft changed Gods & Monsters to Immortals: Fenyx Rising prior to its release (https://www.destructoid.com/ubisofts-gods-monsters-seems-to-have-been-renamed-to-the-edgier-immortals-fenyx-rising/). That's not even accounting for the differences in titles between regions, like how Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios is now doing away with the Western Yakuza moniker and unifying the series (https://www.destructoid.com/like-a-dragon-yakuza-new-name-sega-ryu-ga-gotoku-tgs-ishin/) under Like a Dragon.
As for OFK and Pop. Love. Panic! The OFK Story, I hope the rebrand works well. We Are OFK has been on my backlog since reviews seemed warm on it (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-we-are-ofk/). Though some were confused by the concept?an interactive fiction telling the origin story of a band, like video games meets The Gorillaz?it's unique and interesting. Whether OFK has more discography planned or not, it does seem like they've done something a bit outside the box already.
