We Are OFK Episode 1 Is A Personal Attack Against Me And I Want More

We Are OFK has a really cool premise. Mixing together the notes of a visual novel and a biopic, it is the origin of a band known as OFK–their first single, Follow/Unfollow, debuted during The Game Awards 2020 while the rest of the group’s first EP will release over a five-week period later this year.

OFK is a real band, albeit one that features virtual members. This isn’t a case where developer Team OFK is making a music-based game and subsequently releasing the soundtrack. The team has designed OFK in the same vein as other virtual music artists and groups, like Hatsune Miku or K/DA. We Are OFK is the “televised” biopic of how the group’s four members–pianist Itsumi Saitō (Ally Maki), singer/songwriter Luca Le Fae (Teddy Dief), audiovisual artist Carter Flores (Syhaya Aviel), and producer Jey Zhang (Fiona Rene)–became a group in the first place.

“[We Are OFK] started as a game project that was meant to be about what we know–a story about people making things and trying to just get shit done in Los Angeles, with focuses on friendships and relationships,” creative director Teddy Dief told me. Alongside being the voice for OFK’s lead singer, Dief also helms the creative direction of the studio behind the band’s biopic.
