I picked this one up because it was mentioned in my Video Game Design course quite a few times last year. It was brought up as a positive example of storytelling in games, and how a strong narrative can carry the entire experience without needing much in the way of traditional gameplay. I hadn’t played it before, so I wanted to give it a go. This game is about two doctors travelling through a dying man’s memories to help him fulfil his final wish to go to the moon. You’re navigating through his past, one memory at a time, trying to figure out why that wish matters to him and how to make it feel real before he passes away. There’s a bit of time pressure (on the characters, not the player), which leads to some questionable decisions, which I found pretty shocking in the moment. That's how emotionally invested I was. =) Otherwise the game is charming, sometimes funny, and quietly sad. There is a puzzle element to the game, but it’s very simple. Before you can jump to the next memory, you need to discover and prepare a “memento”. Activating each memento involves solving a small tile-flipping puzzle. They’re quick and easy, not really meant to challenge you as such. They feel more like little breaks between key scenes to slow the pacing and give you a moment to take everything in. The narrative is definitely the focus here, not the gameplay. So if you’re into story-heavy games that lean more toward telling a good story than testing out your hand dexterity (mine's awful anyways), this is a must play. Sometimes I just need to play something super chill like this, even if it might make you a little teary-eyed. It’s not long, but it left a nice impression. I already own a couple of the follow-up games, so I’ll be playing those at a later time.

We usually rate a video game by how much it entertained us playing it. And when we finished it we usually put it in our shelf and move on to the next game. But every now and then we come across a game that does break through this cycle that lets us viewing a game just as a media for entertainment or as a good to be consumed. Which enthrals us and evokes an experience that we haven't ever had before. The technical design of To the Moon is not very impressive, particularly if viewed from today's perspective. The graphics have only a low resolution as they were created with the RPG Maker. And the gameplay is quite simplistic and does not really categorise the game as belonging to the adventure game genre. But the interface used for the game was only utilised to tell a story that is mindblowing and which will never be forgotten by anyone who played this game, I am sure. The atmosphere and emotions are masterfully enhanced by the wonderful music by Kan Gao who is the creator of the game. The story of To the Moon is about life and death. About friendship. And about our dreams.

While playing the game, I felt like I had something stuck in my throat, but then, when the end credits started rolling, suddenly realized that the thing in my throat had gone and replaced by a wet trail running from my eyes. What a Story. What a Game.

Jan. 2025

So.... Yes, the game has some bugs, and errors, and one time I had to completely restart it because it just... froze? Yes, the graphics are not that good - I mean, just pixel art part is okay, but text was low quality, also some backgrounds. It also completely lacks options - like change window size or music volume. But despite it all - it's a beautiful story. I enjoyed it a lot - it has funny jokes and moments, and wholesome, heartwarming parts, and very sad ones... Definitely worth playing, maybe buy on sale - full price is a bit much for amount of content. Free Minisodes are okay, they add a bit of lore which is not needed to understand and don't add anything to main game, but if you plan on playing other games with those characters they could add some depth (I am not sure, as I didn't play them yet)

Sept. 2024

I have never cried so much over a 4 hour long game. Even after 13 years (!?) the story made me bawl my eyes out a second time. I watched pewdiepie play it in middle school and cried myself to sleep in the bathroom... And now as an adult I cried through the credits again. Truly a story for the ages.
