  • wipe away the tears man

    this game is beautiful

    might as well get it myself

  • this is my third to the moon walkthrough series and it seems i'm the only one who thinks this is very similar to Rahxephon... i mean rahxephon also has a boy losing memory and a girl who remembers (but she doesnt try to make the boy remember like River does) and Rahxephon's movie version's ending which fixes things only in dream/memory since you can't change what already happened, etc. i just don't wanna be the only person who thinks this way, hahah. OR i guess ppl didn't watch Rahxephon...

  • Cry has made me cry twice now, Amnesia:My Love and To the Moon

  • I'm very good at keeping control over my emotions, but dang it! This was a game that needed to have tears shed upon. This is possibly the most heart-touching games ever! Thanks for showing us this, Cry!~ :')

  • Give these people a medal, for making possibly one of the most touching stories in a video game that I have ever seen. It was Beautiful!

  • have to admit, the end lured some tears out of me :|

  • Oh wait... They actually make it blatantly obvious that it's Memoryception or something with that that red flash at the very end.

    Can't believe I just sat down to watch 1 or 2 parts of this, after having just earlier played through the game myself, and ended up watching the WHOLE damn game again. I'm now going to bed at 7 freakin' A.M.

    Gotta say, the 2nd time was better. More "clicked" in regards to things not outright explained, true of a lot complex stories (*cough*Charlie Kaufman*cough*).

  • I think I figured out what the overarching plot to the series might be. It's really Memoryception! We're actually in the memories of Rosalene, and they're doing the exact same thing on her! This is her memory of this job. There are several odd Notes totally unrelated to Johnny in the game ("agoraphobia", "Dr. Watts"). There's the painkillers issue that's left completely unresolved. The deja-vu squirrels in Pt.9 are never explained. Of course, they could be ANIMORPHS! :D Wait and see, I guess. :)

  • ;-; who knew an indie game could be so deep. I loved this so much.

  • Comment removed

  • this made me cry just like that game thats about a girl dealing with the stages of death I can't remember its title

  • This story was equally wonderful, and tragic. Just all the little tid-bits you can go back and think about truly make this a masterpiece. The whole time I felt the need to have tears, but they never really came. I just kept that "on-the-verge" feeling, with the mixture of happiness and sadness. The ending videos, especially this one, caused all those tears to just pour out. Not many things can do that to me. Haha, my girlfriend is probably wondering why she's being treated all lovey-dovey...

  • I Love it 3

  • Damn. Kao really outdid himself with the story in this game. I like his other games but I did, honestly, dismiss him as sticking to his comfort zone of romance with some lighthearted comedy sprinkled in.

    This game went all over the place, though, and in a good way.  It shows that he is capable and willing to write some dramatic and thoughtful stuff, and it's probably one of the most unique stories I've ever seen told in a game.

  • And fast.

  • Well as nice an ending it was for John I can't help feeling sorry for River who tried to remind him of their first meeting. Which I guess was why he was upset because he couldn't remember it. In comparison my life is rubbish, someone better invent that machine.

  • @BigCheese00001 I presume they are still in a memory, that and the thing about episode 1 being completed makes me think that we may not have seen the last of Johnny and River. At least I hope we see them again.

  • Just as Watts leaves, the screen flashed red..

  • Holy Shit This was the BEST LET'S PLAY EVER If you cried happily and laugh during this Lets play go and say "Cry thank you" Thanks Cry for putting this up it made me see the true meaning of love no homo

  • brilliant game, thanks for sharing it with us

  • Love's a powerful thing, ain't it :')

  • This made me both cry and laugh - truly a great game

  • 4th wall recieves critical damage

  • Cry, watching this I have cried. I have said "aww". I have laughed. But mainly cried. It is not often that I am moved so heavily by things. Because of this, my second born daughter shall be named River Moon. Thoughts?

  • Thanks Cry for showing me this game.I didn't watch the playtrough, but decided to play it myself.

    I'm just here to say how good it was, actual tears of happiness.

    Thank you Cry, and freebird of course.

  • ...How.....Can...You...dislike­ this?

    5 people must have accidently clicked the dislike instead of the like....

  • Hey Cry, you plan on playing the sequel? This game was just too good not to play all the way through the series. I hope you do.

  • If any game deserved an Academy award, not a game award but an academy. It would be this one hands down. I cried, I laughed, I was terrified and at times angry but that ending was so brilliant. There's no words for this. I only wish that some how this can be made into a movie. It would blow out the box office. Cry again you never fail to surprise me with the quality of game walkthroughs you do, and to the magnificent Kan Gao I hope your soul will rest on the moon.

  • that was amazing. Cry when and if they come out with more like this one please say you'll do walkthroughs

  • i....

    wow...

    this game is fucking incredible

    but the one thing i constantly remembered through the entire thing was... no matter what happens

    no matter whether or not they fix it in his memories... river still died alone, without johnny ever knowing how she felt. he got to die with comfort... but the reality of the situation was still the same. his marriage was an unhappy one... his brother died... he never got to understand his wife, and she could never express herself...

    fuck im crying

  • Omg... omgomgomg... I've never cried this much for a game in my life! When you could hear the heart ventilator stop I... I was broken, I couldn't hold it back anymore T_T

  • Hey Cry, have you seen the movie '5 Centimeters per Second'?

  • holy shit man i cried about 30 times atleast watching it is so touching ;( beautiful amezing work on that game im yust blown awey yet another beautiful thing i will never forget ;( games always are the best movies sorry if everything i write does'nt make sence i can't really see veryy wel at the moment with all the tears in me eyes ;)

  • So there is going to be a second one? Seems like maybe Eva or Neil is a "patient".

  • @quackingchurro maybes is eva cause neil had that thing with him at the end?

  • I love how touching this game was. T^T

  • 5:55 THEY'RE TROLLING US!

    P.S. A very touching and deep game, this is.

  • That was just amazing! When I played it, I was really like ^^ and then O.o, then O:O, then T_T, then O.O again and then Q_Q and T_T and then :'D and then ^_^...

  • I'm having a bit of trouble following the story

  • @martinzalle restart and pay attention xD

  • @tibertruth

    yeah maybe I should, lol

  • I'm having a bit of trouble following the story. Can some give a small summary?

  • Great LP man, your soft voice was just perfect for this. Too bad your reading skills aren't a tiny bit better, but other than that, great job :)

  • Your heartfelt narration made this story even more touching than it already is, Cry, and that's saying a lot. You're the man for not being afraid to show your emotions. Why can't more men be like you? ;____;

  • Beautiful ending. I had a suspicion that that was what Eva had done, but even when I turned out to be right I still cried tears of joy.

    Hands down one of the most amazing stories of all time.

    Also, I might be totally over-analyzing this, but in part... 9 or so, when Eva goes back out to the car, did anyone else notice the two squirrels that were chasing each other? If I remember correctly, they were orange and brown... Although Johnny's still alive at that point, so I'm probably wrong.

  • Did Cry ever realise that when old River made the yellow and blue rabbit and asked what is it, she was referring to the yellow moon and blue night sky?

    Also the whole thing is Neil's memories as he's dying, I think

  • "My God" was right, Cry.... My God...

  • Comment removed

  • @smogelish

    When Johnny first meets River at the carnival she points out a rabbit in the night sky, with the moon being the belly and the stars being the ears and feet. The origami rabbits were her way of trying to remind him of this meeting, which he had repressed due to the beta blockers given to him for Joey's death. Remember, the multi-colored rabbit was yellow in the middle (the moon) and blue for the feet and ears (the night sky).

    And Watts is on painkillers. It's not elaborated yet.

  • Cry, why do you keep making me want to Cry. Great story, great experience. Wonderful narration

  • "Game" doesn't fully describe what To the Moon is. "Experience" is what I would call it. And what an experience it is. I came in to this playthrough expecting to just watch you play it for me, but now that it's over, I can say with total honesty that I will be buying this. It is truly something one of a kind, and the people who made it are amazingly gifted who deserve a lot more recognition. Never before has a game made me feel this way. Thank you Freebird Games, and thank you Cry.

  • I am incredibly amazed that an indie game developer has come out with something as fantastic as this. The storyline was cute at first, but then took on an entirely new dynamic -- I'm stunned. This is amazing.

    A round of applause and hysterical sobbing to Freebird Games, and to Cry, who (coincidentally) cried right along with us.

    ...Now I need to go eat my fridge to fill the gap in my heart. I'm so alone akjgfklasjgf

  • This has to become a movie or something of the likes.

  • God this game. I don't think there's ever EVER been a game that has made me laugh, cry, get angry and then forgive characters in such a compelling way :') Thank you for doing this playthrough Cry!!!

  • I really hope this is going to be the first of many, and this will become a series of some sort. It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you for doing this, Cry.

  • ;__;

  • I've never actually cried through a video game... much less a playthrough, this game was totally amazing, and the soundtrack... just beautiful

  • Oooh plot twist. Well, I guess they fulfilled their contract after all. I still don't think John deserves River, but... she died already. And she did get her wish, after all, in not getting treatment... one sad way to get out of a messed up situation. Poor gal, I think John really did break her brain. ^^;; Hopefully she found happiness elsewhere, if there is an elsewhere. *sniffle* 'Tis a good story, and a good LP. Bravo. And the veryvery end... I WONDERED!!! :DDD

  • @tirsden Ah, I'd more blame those beta-blockers for all that trouble.

  • ....Just.... Wow.

  • Mother of God.......

  • OMFG, i actually cried.

  • Me cry now. T-T

  • When I saw that she lived I started to cry, this was amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • cry! play it from the other doctor's point of view!

  • Goddammit. I'm speechless..

  • This game hit me really really hard and so I want to get a tattoo sleeve based around it. Anyone have any ideas? I know I want to have River, Johnny and obviously the moon in it. The lighthouse too, but it's hard to think of a design that would work.

  • @Derfonic A blue and yellow origami rabbit could be awesome. Or a platypus :D

  • Why does it flash red at the end, does it still mean they are in a memory??

  • @ThePurp1e0range if you notice, Neil takes some pain killers at the end, meaning that it is possible he might end up being a paient in a future game.

  • I hope there's more.

  • Episode 1???? That means.... there's gonna be more!? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

  • ;_; Best End. If only it had really worked out that way, and not just in the dream... Thank you, Cry, for making one of the best play-throughs I've seen in a long time. Thank you, @Reivier, for making one of the best stories I've ever had the pleasure to hear/see/read

  • I hate you Cry (okay, I lied) making me feel all weird and emotional inside @@...

    Almost missed the ending though. Thanks Cry, for all these video!! <33

    I'll go "like" some of your Amnesia now lol

  • I've seen you at your funniest. Your most angry moments (which is still funny to me) and now I saw you at your most heartfelt. Bravo Cry.

  • Ohhh the tears ;u;'

  • hey Cry... has anyone told you your name is really ironic?

  • Those guys at Freebird need to get recruited. We need more stories like this in video games.

  • This needs to be made into a movie. I don't care if its a cheap movie it needs to be a movie...

  • MADE ME CRYYYYY!!!!!

  • This was a beautiful game.

  • When you decided to play this, Cry...

    Best choice you ever made. This game has one of the greatest stories ever. Thank you for showing it to us.

  • I have never been this emotionally moved by any game, book, song, or film. This game is truly amazing.

  • @TheMinecraftNations Exactly how I feel. Im gonna be honest. I cried.

  • @TheMinecraftNations

    - hmmm... some other good stuff to check out would be 'Family Project' or 'Ever17' and others from the Visual Novel niche.

  • What a beautiful game. Thankyou Cry for doing this lets play :) I'm very interesting in Freebird games now and i'm looking forward to the next game in the series of which i'll buy a copy of :)

  • It's so beautiful... BAWWWWWW

  • What does it mean if I didn't feel sad while watching this series?

    I enjoyed it all the same though. I think the red flash at the end is hinting that they themselves are in a memory, and not actually real. Something to do in the sequel, perhaps.

  • @oumo I had the same thought

  • that was sooo sad and heartwarmibg. You gonna do the rest of the episodes Cry?

  • 18:24

  • @Kiammyfy I'd let him approach me like that hehe

  • Cry! Hell this was the best game you ever played ... thx for showing it to us good work man.

  • If I were Neil I'd want to slap Eva

  • What was that? Neil swallowed something...a pill? Was that what he was trying to hide earlier when he said he needed to "take a leak/feed his digital pet?"

  • Wait! At the end the screen flashed slightly red, could it be that the last scene with the graves was not real?

  • Oh my god, i can't stop crying when i see this!

  • Amazing Storyline!

  • i nearly cried my outs luckily i hold things in pretty well but i almost caved i cant blame anyone for sobbing

  • @aloniusWankington forgot eyes

  • thanks for the experience cry it was so sorrowful

  • Thanks for making me cry on Christmas

    Asshole

    Just kidding, love ya.

  • wait, what was the ending? Was that a some sort of cliff hanger? Great job, cry and Kan great game and great let's play:)

  • Cry... l want to hug you so bad

  • T ^ T that was some damn good work cry. Bravo

  • Awesome. I just wanna say Thank you cry for making this letsplay serie. So emotion.. :)

  • Merry friggin Christmas everyone! what a great video to end our day huh?

  • the moments will remember,

    and the moments that made us sad and happy

    we will never forget

  • I can proudly say that I cam back from Christmas with the family to bawling my eyes out. Thanks Cry. <3 I hope you had a Merry Christmas with Jacy, and thanks for To The Moon, it had such a deep story line, and it was executed perfectly. You really should get into more voice acting. (:

  • Wow.......what a powerful story.....really like inception, I'm sensing a dream within a dream at the end there.

  • Dammit cry! this is youtube, quit making me cry! :PP

  • OMG I CRYED SO MUCH.... and when i heard cry crying aswell it was hard not to cry..... it took alot of explaining to explain to my mom O.o

  • Holy crap Cry, I'm sorry for making fun of your sensitive side. I cried like a baby when River walked into the break room....

  • Awww, Cry-cry. Showing your sensitive side? (:

  • Wow, I totally thought Eva and Neil were gonna bump uglies.

  • Didnt cry through any other parts of the lets play but when river put out her hand i started to bubble then at that exact moment my girlfriend sends me a picture of her in bed with a cushion i bought her for christmas in my t shirt. Dear god it was perfect!

  • I am crying

  • GOD, THIS GAME IS WONDERFUL ;-;. Thank you Cry for playing it, thank you Freebird games for making this game ... it's a masterpiece Ç.Ç

  • i just found out that the 2 colored rabbit is the one they saw in the sky when they first met :3

  • @Reivier Thanks, I've been wondering if I could pick up some music sheets for it. It's a great game :)

  • I'm learning this song on a piano, I don't care that I don't play one. It's not like I don't have time to.

  • Merry Christmas Cry!~ Thank you for playing this wonderful game for us.~

  • this game has got to be one of the best 2D games this year, and shows that you do not need 3D and fancy stuff to make an excellent game. thanks for sharing this with us cry, and I hope they'll make a sequel (the ending pretty much just yells for it, what with neil taking something/red flash in the screen/ "Episode 1; To the Moon [check]".

  • ... :'( wow that was absolutely beautiful

  • Merry christmas, Cry. I was teary eyed while watching the two last parts. Hell dude. That was a good moment to cry x'3

  • Something weird happened after I saw this video. I didn't get teary while watching it at all, but some hours later I decided to listen to the beautiful soundtrack. And while listening to some of the heartbreaking songs, I suddently began to silently cry. So now I'm sitting here, kinda crying.

    Thanks, Cry! I hope you're okay after playing this game!

  • At least he died Happy My eyes are still Misty c;

  • 16:38 that guy just walked through a wall. D:

  • This game really is a work of art... Thank you Cry for playing this.

  • 6:10 did Watts just break the fourth wall?? 0__0

  • @ShadowAmnesia haha thats true! You cant see the top OR the bottom XD

  • I can't believe that it's been already 12 days of me watching this game. I was always watching it in one breath, sometimes crying or sometimes laughing.

    Anyway, I just want to thank you Cry for playing it. More people need to know about this game, the story is too beautiful to not to be known. I hope that there will be episode 2 for sure!

  • i wanted to go to the moon once...

    but then i took an arrow to the knee

    : )

  • I wonder how good this game would be if it were made into a movie. But dear god, keep Uwe Boll away from this.

  • Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, folks! Many thanks to Cry for the awesome Cry Plays, and everyone for watching; I really appreciated it. Hope you enjoyed To the Moon!

    -Kan

    P.S. A very brief (& free) mini-episode about Neil & Eva at a New Year's party will be released in a bit over a week or two, along with the sheet music for For River. c:

  • Kan Gao tweeted that cover of "For River" : /watch?v=9QXRfdAo_m0

    You should listen to it :)

  • Amazing 12 parts.. what can i say.. this series you made will never be forgotten, at least on my hand. thanks again ryan, didn't thought i would say it but heck it feels like i need to see u playing something scary so i'll go and watch some cry plays amnesia, feels like i need a shape switch after this. thanks once again

  • that was beautiful

  • Such a powerful storyline for a game . Excellent music and storyline/plot . Thank you Cry, thank you for playing this .

  • T_T

  • Man.... This game had a really great story to it, huh. I feel both bad and good for Johnny...

    Also, hope you have/had a merry Christmas, Cry.

  • Oh my.

  • Watched the whole story, buying the game anyway next month. The story is even worth a hollywood movie imho...

  • Merry Christmas, Cry.

  • Cry, could you make your videos a bit louder? thank you, merry christmas :)

  • [To the Moon]=[For River]

    Cry, this honestly is the best video game review i saw on Youtube. You made a good game even better.

  • All of the tears.. I can't even... I don't even... I need a tissue. ;_;

    Merry Christmas, Cry. ;_;

  • Were they still inside a memory in the end?

    The way it all went red for a second..

  • @Profeshonality The red was Neils, he looked lie he was in pain for a second so took some painkillers, it'll be explained in the next episode hopefully.

  • oh woah what... I hope the next part to this story is made...

  • Bravo! Bravo!! This story simply CANNOT be forgotten. I'm spreading the word about it to all my friends!

    Merry Christmas, Cry :)

  • Best. Christmas. Gift. Ever. ; u ;

  • That flash at the end...

    ...why do I get the feeling there's some kind of inception going on?

  • ... same shit different day for those two i guess...

  • Merry Christmas!

    This is wonderful QwQ

  • God that's such a beautiful story. I would pay $100 for that soundtrack, it's so great. I wish I could write songs like that on the piano.

  • @oreokitty333

    You could get it for $5 on their site with half the proceeds going to charity. :p

    They're also apparently releasing free sheet music at a later date too so you can wait for that.

  • @HolsetyrA yep, I know, I already bought it :) I've been listening to nothing since. I didn't know about the sheet music though, thanks for telling me. I'm so excited now!

  • You showed us that Mandom is made of two parts: Face fear as you did on Amnesia, face emotions as you showed us playing To the Moon.

    Achievement get: Reach Mandom.

  • I wonder how much the people of Freebird games cried while making this.

  • :'') 

  • CRY Y U MAKE ME CRY SO MUCH BY PLAYING THIS?!

    Merry Chrystmas.

  • I was crying watching yesterday's episode and my brother comes in, he sees me and he says:

    "Are you crying to a game? What a baby"

    And then I punched him... Lol just kidding. He's dead

  • When the screen flashed red I thought it was Johnny doing it, but now I understand. Watts... Oh well, Merry Christmas Cry! I hope you can play the next episode anytime soon! Good day, good sir.

  • Merry christmas cry and please do episode 2 when it comes out, this story was very touching and awesomely funny.

  • 9:05

    The best line to say after all this s#&t.
