To The Moon

This is a great game to play when you really just want to "play" something but don't feel like being challenged or frustrated. It's really more like an interactive book than a game, but it's certainly a page turner. I might just "read" it again!

As others have mentioned, this is not much of a game. It is instead an interactive story... But it's a different story, and it will gently move you a lot; like a butterfly punching you in the gut. The design, the story, and particularly the music will help achieve something you don't see every day. True, I cannot guarantee you will like it - people's tastes are different and all - but I will recommend that you at least try it.

You can't change the resolution from 640x480, and there's a good reason. It's an interactive movie done in a retro 16-bit RPG style. It's a great example of how in the future the media we enjoy now will merge in weird and entertaining ways. It's like someone took Inception, and a couple of other sci-fi mental stories, threw in a cool slice-of-life story like you find in some graphic novels, then made the story a SNES game. Worth a look, play, and buy simply for the fact that it's something bold, new, and works.

Must play for anyone who likes a game with a storyline.

I just finished the game and... wow. A few hours long, but each moment is filled with emotions. I laughed at times, enjoying the exchanges between the characters, but I cried. I cried at the end, letting my tears flow freely as I didn't do in years. This game is beautiful, there is no question about it. You have to feel it, to appreciate it, just like some of the greatest (and sadly unknown) books and movies. Yes, video games are an art. This is one of the proofs of it.
