About

Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts have peculiar jobs: They give people another chance to live, all the way from the very beginning... but only in their patients' heads.

Due to the severity of the operation, the new life becomes the last thing the patients remember before drawing their last breath. Thus, the operation is only done to people on their deathbeds, to fulfill what they wish they had done with their lives, but didn’t.
This particular story follows their attempt to fulfill the dream of an elderly man, Johnny.

With each step back in time, a new fragment of Johnny's past is revealed. As the two doctors piece together the puzzled events that spanned a life time, they seek to find out just why the frail old man chose his dying wish to be what it is.
And Johnny's last wish is, of course... to go to the moon.

прекрасно. звуковое сопровождение, история (здесь, пожалуй, из всей серии игр наиболее трогает за душу история самого пациента, я плакала). минизоды тоже сделаны хорошо. 10/10
一个人的独角戏。 我也是泪点很低的人了,看了只觉得摸不着头脑。从人设与动机出发完全搞不懂...随着剧情展开,脑子里一直在扣问号。【幻想文学就能不讲逻辑了吗?】 大家到底在感动什么?看评论也很茫然,再三细品还是觉得男主在自我感动...
La verdad que este juego es precioso, la historia es hermosa y te hace emocionar hasta las lagrimas, super recomendado si queres jugar algo chill y con una bonita historia. No apto para personas que recientemente han perdido a un ser querido.
像看了一部电影,还是很感人的,故事有令人意想不到的地方,挺环环相扣的,不错。
[b]Playtime[/b]: 8.2 hrs (100% of achievements, game completed twice). [b]Grindy achievement(s)[/b]: None. [b]Difficult achievement(s)[/b]: None. [h1]Overview[/h1] This character-driven visual novel about two doctors who alter a dying man’s memories to fulfill his final wish will forever hold a special place in my heart. While the gameplay is minimal, the story more than makes up for it. [h3]Should you buy this game?[/h3] [b]Yes[/b] — if you enjoy narrative-focused games with emotional storytelling. However, it may not be for you if you prefer gameplay-heavy titles or a more traditional story structure. [hr][/hr] [h1]In-Depth Review[/h1] [i]To the Moon[/i] is a visual novel with a few light puzzle elements. [b]There are no choices[/b], and progression is entirely story-driven as you move backward through a man’s memories to understand his life and his desire to reach the moon. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3758083484 [b]The pacing can feel slow at the beginning[/b]. I even dropped the game about an hour in during my first attempt. It takes time before the story starts to connect, but once it does, you’re left with a [b]deeply emotional, character-driven narrative[/b]. What makes the story unique is that [b]it’s told in reverse[/b], moving from later memories to earlier ones. It’s not a format you often see, and it can make the emotional context harder to grasp at times, since you’re constantly rebuilding meaning from fragments of a life you’re stepping backward through. That fragmentation is also part of what makes the ending hit as hard as it does (I cried). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3758083636 [b]The characters and their relationships are at the center of the story[/b], with their personalities brought to life through strong dialogue. I also found the game funnier than expected in places, which helps balance out the heavier themes. The pixel art and music are another highlight. Both are beautiful and do a lot of emotional heavy lifting throughout the game. Combined, they give the story a distinct atmosphere that I can’t get enough of. My second playthrough hit harder than the first. Knowing where everything leads adds weight to earlier scenes, even if the structure still makes the timeline slightly difficult to fully process. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3758083724

泪目了
Oynamak için fazla geç kaldım çok iyi oyun
É difícil chamar To the Moon de apenas um jogo. Sua jogabilidade é simples, seus gráficos são modestos, mas nada disso importa quando a história começa a se revelar. Aos poucos, percebemos que a viagem nunca foi sobre chegar à Lua, mas sobre amor, memória, arrependimentos e tudo aquilo que deixamos de compreender enquanto ainda há tempo. É uma experiência delicada, melancólica e inesquecível. Daquelas que terminam, mas continuam ecoando por muito tempo. Poucos jogos conseguem dizer tanto com tão pouco.
Very well-written and emotional story. I feel a little conflicted about the ending since I think it's meant to be happy but it feels very bittersweet to me. I like the game though and I recommend it.
