To the Moon!

Hi my dear readers!:)


Today I would love to present you another video game which lately has broken my heart into pieces. Ladies and gentlemen, To the Moon. A beautiful story about what does it mean to love someone with all your heart, always, to love not minding the pain, to love someone to the point you smile although there are tears streaming down your cheeks... a story about grief and longing devouring you from the inside after the one you love is gone, the memories that poison your brain in the daylight and wake you up in the middle of the night. So, what's exactly the plot? It's a story about a man called Johnny Wyles who's dying, he has more or less two days left and he asked The Sigmund Corporation to accomplish his last wish which is to go to the moon. The corporation uses a high-technology that serves to create artificial memories which give dying people who, during their lifetime couldn't make their dreams come true, a chance to feel a sense of accomplishment. The employees of the corporation, Dr. Eva Rosalene and Dr. Neil Watts, are sent to meet his client's request. The problem is Johnny doesn't know the reason why he wants to go to the moon so badly. The doctors insert themselves into an interactive compilation of his memories and traverse backwards through his life to gather the important informations and attempt to awake his desire to go to the moon. While completing the task Rosalene and Watts learn more about Johnny, his past and the relationship with his wife River while looking for clues that would help them to solve the mistery. One of the most important elements of To the Moon is music that accompanies you on every step in the gameplay and which changes depending on the scene and its character. Almost whole music is composed on the piano which strengthens the emotions expressed by heros. To the Moon has also a simple, pixel graphic design which some of you may not like it but the truth is it is not what is the most important in this game (in my opinion it is still really pretty). I highly recommend you to check out this game with unbelievably touching ending which will definitely make you cry. It'a all for today! See ya in the next post! Bye!:)
