24 hours later, I can't stop thinking about it. I bought the soundtrack immediately after I finished and have listened to it several times over.

If stories move you at all, get this game. If you cried at "that scene" in Pixar's "Up", get this game. If it's in your library waiting to be played, set aside ~4 hours and do it.

That's all. Just wanted to share.

Yep I approve this message too :P Loved To The Moon, really great and memorable piece of art!

Yeah, I'm not too much of an emotive guy but the game really hit me in the right place. To the Moon really shows that a great story can be told on a RPG maker with a few well made art assests, great music and even better script writing.

Can't wait to see the sequel(s).

Having a heart is for the weak, you need to be made out of stone to survive.

It was good and I'm looking forward to the continuation. I didn't find it as moving as the OP but I could see how some might.

Music has a big effect on me. The right scene with the right music can really do it.

SO I got a question to you bobofatt, DO you think a girl will like this game If I gifted it to her?

Like is the gameplay really easy? because that girl just really likes story driven games but not hard games.

Basically, the only gameplay is walking around in between scenes and clicking on easily identified objects. Then solving a quick puzzle that generally takes 3-5 moves.

There are a couple unique scenes, but nothing more complicated than moving in the right direction towards or away from something.

Been looking forward to play To The Moon,but the only Disney-Pixar movies i like are Finding Nemo and Toy Story.Before they have to give their movies some cliche moral/drama craps.

I have been thinking about getting this game, but it just doesn't seem like my kind of game. People are always praising it through the roof, so maybe I'll give it a shot one day. It's just stunning how I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about it, so I'm really curious to see if it lives up to the hype. I might enjoy it even though I don't enjoy those type of games in general :)

what do you mean by "those types"? if you're a person that likes good stories-you should get it. it barely has any gameplay.

By "those types" I mean point and click -games, I've gotten the impression To the Moon is that type of game. Nevertheless, I know it has very little gameplay, and I value gameplay very much. Maybe I should try this game just for the story, and forget the gameplay aspect for once :)

Honestly, don't think of it as a game, it's really more of a long movie or a short book. The game mechanics definitely take a back seat to the story. That being said, definitely check it out. Easily worth the few dollars you can pick it up for during the Winter Sale.

That's exactly the point, I think I've been hesitating to try this game because it is barely a game in the usual meaning. I really enjoy games with exhilarating gameplay, and I've been worried To the Moon would not be entertaining to me. I prefer my games as real games, with gameplay taking much priority. Maybe I should follow your advice and try it sometime, I should just forget it's supposed to be a game, and see it more as a new experience :)

exactly what I wanted to say. just think of it as a (really good) movie. albeit longer than a regular movie(clocking at around 4 hours)-but believe me-it's worth it.

The part in "UP" where I remember crying the most, was when i was trying to buy some grub (Popcorn etc), before the movie. When did things get so expensive? *sniff

I didn't cry because my thoughts was racing with ideas during that time - that one shocking scene. My early guess that he was raped by his own grandfather. But then something else unexpected happened. I was glad and sad at the same time.

A scene from Hachiko made me cry. Does that count? xP

I read a review on how wonderful this game was back then on GMG when it was not yet on Steam. Added the game on my wishlist the moment it got released on Steam.
