TtM is as deep as you want it to be
To the Moon was a strange experience. I wanted it to be so much more, but was happy enough with what I got. Visuals : 3/5. The graphics scream SNES era Final Fantasy, albeit with a cleaner and nicer look. They're nothing special, just nice to look at. The locales that you'll visit are few, it makes the game more intimate (which suits the subject matter), but also more visually boring. Sound : 3/5. Once again, the music is ... nice. The main theme has a memorable melody that you'll be humming after playing. Other than that, the soundtrack was far from the emotional masterpiece I've read it was supposed to be. These days, even indies games of questionable quality often have killer soundtracks. TtM does ok, but its music is not too original nor that memorable when detached from its context and story. Gameplay : 3/5. You probably already know that there's practically no gameplay to speak off. I won't take any points for this, because clearly, it's intended to be that way. Wether it's a good choice is a different matter. Playing a game where you have the illusion - or maybe the hope - that your game choices matter in a story which is all about being able to change the past seems curious and contradictory ... Until you realize that in the end, the story is ultimately about giving the dying patients the illusion that something changed, while it really didn't ... So, genius or just annoying? Make up your own mind about that. Story : 4/5. The game delivered in this category, as expected. In the end, it was the story of two people failing to understand one another, a bittersweet meditation on what it really means to be "someone", to have an identity and memories. However, after following through this excellent story, this fascinating grey world became entirely black and white with a seemingly out of place happy ending which resolved every problem without actually adressing it. The sappy ending can ALSO be viewed in a meta way, however ...
