To The Moon (no spoilers) A story about two doctors traversing backwards through a dying man's memories to artificially fulfil his last wish. This was a short game, about 4h, the game is highly praised and with reason! The premise is simple, fulfil the wish of a dying man, to do that we have to go through his memories to find the reason he wants that specific wish, and while we do that, we learn about his entire life. Its something that I wasn't expecting to get that invested into, but oh how wrong I was... from the very start- the characters we play as were very lively, every line, every joke, every cheeky comment, they all felt super organic, the writing is something I am not able to praise enough! Not only the character writing but the way the story is laid out in front of us, and the way both the doctors as well as us the player, each slowly learn and connect the dots to our own conclusions, its simply something that captures you in the moment, and reflecting about it afterwards makes me appreciate it even more. On top of that, as mentioned, the characters are incredibly well written, and the jokes, even though some are very silly- they feel organic, like I believe this character would say this at this time! For a game to make me care so much about the life and wishes of an old man at the brink of death, literally no words to describe it. The gameplay is very simple, mostly walking and interacting with stuff, but we get a puzzle in between memories- and the puzzles were good, they weren't hard, but also not free, they just felt nice as little breaks in between segments. The music was simple, yet always hit when it needed to, just how much can you convey with only 2 notes? [*]Enjoyment: 10 [*]Gameplay: 8 [*]Story: 10 [*]Art: 9 [*]Music: 10 [*]Overall: 9.4 I am very glad I played this game, I wasn't expecting it to get me as much as it did. "When you think you've already cried enough, it gives more reasons to cry" PS: I didnt talk in depth about the story eventho i have a lot of thoughts on it, simply because i dont think i can express them in short words TwT
Take this for what it is, a walking simulator with minimal gameplay features and a slow-burn start...that has no right to be as absolutely perfect as it is. Make no mistake this is completely story driven, and uses the visuals of 16bit RPG to fool you into thinking this is a slow, boring game. It is NOT. No, this is an experience worth far beyond the meager price of admission, for those who love a well told story of longing and possibility. This will not appeal to everyone, especially those seeking a more traditional gameplay experience, but this is a must-own if only for having and experiencing first-hand a well-crafted piece of art and a couple of hours of heart-wrenching entertainment.
Solid little gem from almost 15 years ago. It's an emotional 2D pixel art visual story as opposed to a "game." You play as two scientists hired by an old man on his deathbed to help him fulfill his last wish, a trip to the moon. Borrowing concepts from movies like Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind, you collect important memories over the course of his life to find a way to get him to the moon.. The story will definitely make you feel something and you may frequently think back to your own life experiences and how choices and events shaped your own future. As for gameplay, the mechanics are limited such as solving some straightforward though repetitive puzzles and moving characters around. However this is offset by the beautiful pixel artwork and soundtrack. For 100% completionists, there is only 1 achievement and it is easy to obtain. The story will take approx. 4 hours to complete.
This is the only game to have ever made me cry. And I did not cry, I sobbed uncontrollably. And it wasnt because it was a sad game, but because it was true. True in the way we all need to hear. True in a way that pulls at your heart and demands your attention. This is the gold standard of indie games. If I could rate it 11/10 I would. But all I can do is put a thumbs up. I wish I could do more. I've recommended this game to so many people over the last decade that I've lost count. It has stayed in my head rent free for this long. Please give this game a chance, you won't regret it.
