I just completed this very special game, and I felt I had to write about it right away.
No clever comments, no jokes. I believe any of that would be an insult to what I am feeling right now. This indie RPG is one unique experience.
To the Moon had been on my to-play list for a long time; a highly positive review on Steam finally provided me with the necessary impetus to try it out at once. Now, I can't believe I have let this game just...be, all this time, without experiencing it.
I won't spoil anything here - you will enjoy it best if you go in knowing as few details as possible. It checks all the boxes for a great gaming experience: a haunting story and soundtrack, the ability to punch you in the gut (in a way only certain games can) when you least expect it, the ability to make you feel. Also, there's a small part of the game that really tugs at my love of "this action will have consequences." Be prepared for a ride full of emotional highs and lows.
(Although there isn't choice-based gameplay, the section I am talking about incorporates the effect of a single change on a person's entire life)
When I went in, I had no idea that this was an episodic thing! Now I really look forward to playing Episode 2 (Finding Paradise).
I have been in dire need of such a (positive/hopeful) experience without realizing it. If you haven't played it yet, go for it right away - it's that good.
