Hi, guys.
So after playing Braid at the beginning of the year, I clearly didn't have enough feels because I decided to play this next Indie game as well.
So this next game is called To The Moon.
I thought it was a wholly original concept and even though it was made with the simple and retro graphics of RPG Maker XP, I believe it still conveyed everything it meant to. I loved it and I'd play it again. It's a game that doesn't require too much skill, because most of the game is about you becoming immersed in the story and the actual gameplay is quite straightforward and simple most of the time with moving around and interacting using the keyboard and/or mouse. My only single complaint is that once or twice, the mouse clicking didn't do what I wanted.
So, storyline?
The game is set in the apparent near future.
There's an old man named John. He's dying.
He can't remember why, but he really wishes that he could go to the moon.
We play as a couple of scientists.
But what is the point of the scientists being there if we know this old guy is already doomed?
Well, this team has discovered a new type of technology. They infiltrate the memories of the dying and they edit things in order to make the person as happy about their life as possible.
Yep, my feels also started there and that's only the intro of the game.
I thought this game took me on a really interesting and unique journey.
It almost felt more like a movie than a game.
Also, I've messed around with RPG Maker myself quite a few times but this game used such cool little effects and it flowed so well, that I was actually wondering if it really was the same program I used.
Another one that I recommend. Find it and play it.
