Manufacturer's Description
Join the moving story of Dr. Eva Rosalene and Dr. Neil Watts as they journey through the memories of dying patient Johnny to fulfil his last wish: To weave the memory of having become an astronaut and visited the Moon.
Doctors control technology that allows them to create artificial memories, such that a patient can request to have their mind altered, and wake up with memories of things that didn’t actually happen.
However, since these new memories are permanent, the conflict between them and the existing authentic memories clash in such a way that it ceases the person’s ability to properly function. Thus, the operation is only done to people on their deathbeds, to fulfill what they wish they had done with their lives… but didn’t.
Watch, interact and change the past as Johnny's life unfolds before you and takes you on a magical journey through his memories.
Features:
- Take control of this touching story in a unique mix of point & click adventure and classic RPG gameplay
- Experience an inspiring journey into the human mind that will make you both laugh and shed a tear or two.
- Beautiful soundtrack by Kan R.Gao and Laura Shigihara leaving a lasting impression
- The winner of “Gamespot – Best Story of 2011” award, Editor’s Choice for best singleplayer Indie 2011” award from IndieDB
- Listed by Wired as one of “The 20 best videogames of 2011” and finalist in the “Excellence in audio” category at the 2012 Independent Games Festival

Truly one of the greatest stories I've heard. To The Moon uses gaming as a medium for story telling through it's simplistic RPG format. Rather than playing your typical adventure-battle RPG game the story is unfolded through numerous cut scenes and short little puzzles, where the player may explore their surroundings as two invisible scientists who travel backwards through Johny's life to grant him his dying wish. To go to the moon. As the two scientists, Eva and Neil, uncover more and more of Johny's past they discover a timeless story filled with heart, pain, laughter, and emotion. While the story line will defiantly make you cry at some point, the witty banter between characters will make you laugh, and the fantastic music will make you smile. I recommend this incredible game to anyone who is in the mood for something refreshing and new, for anyone in the mood for a good laugh, and for anyone in the mood for a good cry.

To the Moon is one of the best and most emotional games I have ever played, on any console. The tale of the dying man attempting to live out his life-long dream is an extremely touching story and although there is very little actual 'gameplay' in the game, the story is so great it just carries you along and makes the game almost impossible to put down, just like a good book.

This is tough. As a game it scores one star, there is little to zero actual game play. However as a interactive experience it scores a full five stars. It oozes charm and charisma. Its genuinely moving and emotional and you will be astounded as just how must you care for these little digital characters. If youare looking for a "game" in the classic sense of the word then stay away because you will be disappointed. However if you do like the idea of an interactive story that's well written then i cannot recommend this game highly enough.
1 star if you are looking at it from a game perspective
5 star if you are prepared to take and embrace it for what it is.
3 star review overall.

Liked by many just not me
Not my style of game. I disliked the screen view and the graphics. The game has many excellent write-ups which is why I purchased it but it is not to my taste. Read more

The best experience
This is without a doubt the best experience you can get out of a video game. While it is short, and the graphics are very retro, the storyline and its soundtrack makes up for that,... Read more
