Fantastic title, both the music and story are first class. Would recommend To the Moon to everyone with an ounce of humanity!

Absolutely phenomenal game; the story was well written, the nerdy humor was a high point for me, the soundtrack never seemed out of place, and the game was highly visually appealing to me. It was also nice to play an rpg without a heavy emphasis on combat for a change; I would love to see a similar style of play in more story driven games in the future.

The only reason I didn't give this a perfect score was that at times, the controls felt awkward and clumsy; having the option to switch between mouse and keyboard walking would have been nice.

All in all, a wonderful game that I feel anyone who believes that video games are an art form should play at least once. Excellent work, development team!

Really incredible game, I absolutely loved it.

The game doesn't have a replay value which is why I'm knocking it down a point, but games like these are meant to be a one time shooter and are meant for the story so I didn't knock it down incredibly.

Other than that the story was superb, I don't want to spoil anything but it really is great. The music was awesome and the characters are just as awesome.

You'll laugh (a lot), you'll cry (more then you'll ever admit), you'll say 'wtf wast that about' (very often). You'll even at points question if this is actually good on not, until something happens later that makes those bits make sense and pay off. A simply awesome game / bit of art / interactive movie, whatever. Just make sure you give it a chance, it takes time to get going and even after that you’ll sometimes think it might be going off track, but it’s always for a reason.

Very few low points, I’d say the only time this game fails is when it tries to be a game (you'll see what I mean), which is few and far between thankfully.

The word 'delightful' comes to mind when I think of this game. It's sweet, but not sickly; cute, but not cutesy. The story was very well delivered as often with time jumping plots, the story can tumble over itself and get confused, but To The Moon executed it perfectly. The graphics were 'old-school', but they didn't detract from the game as the storyline was so strong. I felt a little wistful at the end and recommend this game to anyone who has a heart.

A compelling story and a wonderful soundtrack makes this game well worth playing at least once.

That being said, it's more of an interactive story really.
I cried manly tears.

a thoroughly enjoyable point-and-click adventure. while straightforward and often not really containing any strong puzzles (you'll never really get stuck for longer then a few minutes during a couple occasions, if at all. the game is often given the RPG label however i personally fail to see how it recieves this aside from how the game was made with the RPG Maker engine (and i must say, this game makes the best use of it that i've seen, aside perhaps Yume Nikki).

this game entrusts the player will enjoy it for the plot as that's the main reason to play, and i can at least say that i, like many others, enjoyed the plot thoroughly, and like a good movie i would already like to reexperience it. if a story-centered game sounds unappealing period though, this title probably will not change your mind.

aside graphical limitations with RPG Maker the game is in itself beautiful with great sprites and backgrounds. the soundtrack is absolutely beautiful and fits the game wonderfully. the dialog is sharply written and was able to pull off having quite a bit of very silly humor without ruining the serious tone of the story.

the game is also considerably short and won't take you more then 5 hours to complete. it's one of those games i wouldn't mind playing through on more then one or two occasions though (once again, just like any good movie), which i think makes up for it.

overall, i highly recommend this one. i just cannot recommend it to anybody who wouldn't think this title is interesting in the first place. to those curious about it however, i'd say it's worth a purchase.

Great old-school game. Not much things to do but the storyline is very captivating. I noticed a few bugs (game a little too fast on my computer) but that was great anyway. Strongly recommended.

This was an awesome experience, beginning to end. I really enjoyed the storytelling and graphics. The controls are a little flake, but effective. Overall I highly recommend this one to anyone looking for an engrossing story.
