A game that will take you way over the moon.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/to_the_moon]To The Moon, a beautiful story filled with humor, love, sadness, and joy, is available right now on GOG.com for $8.99--that’s 10% off until Tuesday, July 17 at 6:59 EDT.

To The Moon is about two scientists, Dr. Eva Rosalene and Dr. Neil Watts, who can alter a person’s memories. An old dying man named Johnny hires them to change his life, but only in his memory, and allow him to experience a final moment of happiness and accomplishment before he dies. Johnny wants to go to the moon. Eva and Neil need to go through his memories, plant a dream early in John’s childhood, and help him become an astronaut. They will explore his life, the stories of his friends and family, all intertwined in a rich and thought-provoking narrative.

In theory, To The Moon is a game, but it’s more of an experience, a unique story presented through our favorite medium. The game is not technically impressive, it doesn’t offer any new and cool visual bells and whistles, it is, however, beautiful and touching regardless of your age, gender, favorite genre, gaming skills, or sensitivity. This is a game for everyone who can appreciate fantastic storytelling, for everyone who misses 2D jRPG-style graphics, for everyone who loves adventures or indie games, and, finally, for everyone who wishes for a quiet time off--sinking into a game and getting out of this world.

To The Moon is a special, emotionally-charged title, that proves there are some areas that gaming as art has yet to explore. Get it now 10% off on GOG.com for $8.99 and you’ll be glad you did.

jamyskis: Might pick this up at some point. Keep hearing nothing but praise for this, but I have such a huge backlog at present that buying anything new that's not ridiculously marked down is just ridiculous.
The praise is mostly for the plot, storytelling and soundtrack, so don't expect a perfect game with great gameplay. It's rather that all of the former is so outstanding compared to the average video game, that most are happy to brush off the fact that you're not really "playing" it. You can play through it in 4 hours or less, so this would actually be a quick success in terms of managing your backlog. ;) (But I doubt you'd regret it, if you like the story. It's more like going to the cinema and enjoying a good movie.)

WHY YOU KEEP ON RELEASING GAMES ON MY SHORT WISHLIST GOG? This one is gonna have to wait since I just bought Riddick and my backlog is about to eat me alive.
To The Moon was an instabuy and while I already had a copy of Riddick I couldn't resist a nice DRM free copy with extras so I grabbed that while it is cheap too.

Thanks GOG! Good Tuesday!

Now, can I please, please, pretty please have Ultima IX soon? Stop making me beg!
0_0 I am so buying this.
Never heard of this before. Interesting story.

vicklemos: This is a great release. Even though I live outside the USA, Canada or the UK -areas with Onlive coverage- I was fully able to enjoy the 30 minute trial of this wonderful game. Thanks Onlive, IGF Nominees and now GOG for providing such a great experience. Too bad the game is not available for Onlive gamers to enjoy.
I don't rightly know what Onlive is. Why do we have Onlive to thank for? And then, if you live outside "areas with Onlive coverage", how does it affect you?

Do WANT!
Nice little visual novel/game. Very good price as well!
Awesome release. I will likely buy this again here at some point.
Fantastic! It's also quite a scoop that it's here before it's on Steam.
YES!
Thank you GOG!
YES! Awesomeness!

Keep it coming guys!
Just finished it. Weak gameplay, decent RPG Maker-graphics, and the most compelling, heartbreaking, beautiful and inspiring story I've ever come across in interactive fiction.

I just wish I could forget having ever played it, so I could experience it all again.

RafaelLopez: what Onlive is
a cloud gaming service - you don't need a powerful computer, any computer is enough, all you need is a GREAT internet connection and possibly be very close to the "coverage area", as the cloud service sends you all the information via network, the rendered picture, the sound, everything.

it's like playing remotely on your friend's computer which is suitable to run the game, you just need a good connection for a non-laggy gameplay.

too bad is the fact that even with 6Mb connection (and living in the Czech Republic, a center of Europe) isn't enough to play a game even on LOW settings (the higher the settings, the more data needs to be transfered in each frame, thus the lag)

gameon: One small step for man......
And a big step for GOG. So nice. :)
You know, it looks like a fabulous game, and I really want to buy it.. but honestly, a mere 10% kinda feels like a slap in the face. You guys finally release an Indie game I can actually PLAY on my computer, and it's still rather expensive.

I might get "belittled" for saying it, but I can't really justify spending that much on a game that's I'll probably finish over the course of a single day's gaming session. Not right now, anyways. Maybe if I had more money...
