To the Moon is an RPG/adventure game about two doctors traversing backwards through a dying man's memories, in order to fulfill his last wish of going to the moon. *** Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts have rather peculiar jobs: They give people another chance to live, all in their head. But due to the severity of the operation, the new life becomes the last thing the patients remember before drawing their last breath. This story follows their attempt to fulfill the dream of an elderly man, Johnny. With each step back in time, a new fragment of Johnny's past is revealed. As the two doctors piece together the puzzled events that spanned a life time, they seek to find out just why the frail old man chose his dying wish to be what it is. And Johnny's last wish is, of course... to go to the moon. [The game is an unconventional RPG/adventure game hybrid with no battles/grinding. Game-play consists of acquiring mementos to travel through memories via various means.]
A tale that can only be described as, "heart-warming" if you are a one word person, but others would have to use more than a thousand to elaborate on its divine play structure . This pixel art RPG is one of the few with a coherent story line and it's funny gestures as not to bore you with game progress. It's controls are the same as "The Mirror Lied", which was sampler of this game before it's release, and has the same game mechanics as well. The game play is straight forward but the curve this game is set on is to tell a story with interactivity. At several points I cried and was asked if I was okay. If you like well thought out story lines, emphasis on the "well", then this is worth the investment.
