next episode should be about river. i mean come on. johnny got his wish but river who for all those years, in her own unique way was shouting to johnny 'please remember our promise !!' didnt, til the end, receive closure.
But she's dead already. They were on a time limit until Johnny dies to change what he thought happened. And I'm sorry to say not every ending needs to have it happy, this one was bitter sweet I guess?
I reckon the next game will move on to another patient and will continue the story of the two doctors also. That was some nasty looking foreshadowing we saw at the end of this game after all.
@topdod its just bitter for me. since it was just memories and only for the convenience of johnny. a time machine wouldve been a better plot device than a memory changer xD
@topdod its really sad for both of them actually. because after johnny confessed, everything else didnt really matter for river since the only thing that really mattered for her was if johnny remembered her and their promise or not.
I haven't played this game yet, but after listening to the soundtrack, I really really want to, because I can't even count how much I cried from just listening to this song alone.
The storytelling and narrative techniques used in games are COMPLETELY different from movies, just like movies are COMPLETELY different than books. A lot of people fail to see that. You would lose SO much of what made this game great by taking control away from the player. If this game was made into a movie, it would end up like every other video game movie. It would be a heartless shell of the source material. It's a beautiful story as is, why can't we just agree to that and leave it alone?
To everyone saying this should be a movie, you should think twice about that. Would this story have been as powerful if you were watching instead of playing? Would the words have resonated with you as much if they were being read to you instead of you interpreting them the way you would have said them? Would a different art style top the 16-bit style? This game touched me and moved me the way it is. It's a masterpiece. That's like saying someone should make the Mona Lisa into a sculpture.
@trufuknplaya You literally said "should be made into an animated disney movie.... just sayin". I don't see how that's saying nothing about animation or Disney.
An absolutely tremendous game; what a great experience this was. I don't think I've ever encountered something like this before, something that had such a charming and compelling element of storytelling accompanied by an outstanding music track. I won't be forgetting this experience anytime soon. Cheers to freebirdgames
@xenogenx i want to donate if i had to.. but im just poor boy from a poor family.. ^_^ but i already had it without paying.. maybe ill just pray for those autism people...
Best song I ever heard, no exaggeration. Fuck this scene though, seriously. I was going to punch the monitor screaming River's name in a sobbing voice drowned by tears. Damn you Laura Shigihara! I want my manliness back!
@measurino I fully agree that this was GotY 2011. I was disappointed in most games this year. So many 2011 releases were sequels which had perfectly good game design, but lacked the heart and the incredible storytelling of To The Moon. This game had a plot that completely floored me, and I've never really experienced anything quite like it until now. Years down the line, this will be one of the few games of this generation that sticks in my mind.
one thing that i loved about this games is that later a realized that river wasnt the one with the problem! it was jonhy she made all those origami rabit to make him remember that one important moment the real reason why he loved river in the first place! :'(
I literally haven't gone a day without thinking about this game since I've played it. The story is just so incredibly touching even if the premise was extremely simple. It's just the life of a man. And then add to that all that River had to go through and in the end she was never truly understood. The tears man, so many tears!
Watch: change the phrase "the moon" to heaven. you also might wanna watch the ending in that sense too especially in the scene where Johnny dies as "the moon" comes into view.
This game was RUBBISH! It didn't have a single emotional moment and didn't make me feel anything. I'm too hard for that BULLSHIT! I mean none of it even made sense - I'm a tough guy and this cheesy ass custard didn't get the better of me ...
... now re-read the above and change it to the complete opposite. That's what I really meant.
Yes, this game was an emotional sucker punch. Even the picture in the video above is making me cry.
@tvwatchingperson Actually, it CAN be possible. Search "RPG JS". If Reives converted the game to Javascript, he could port it to smartphones, and his website. Pretty neat. :D Right now, he's trying to get the game on Steam.
@tvwatchingperson WOW you serious? I thought it looked like a heavily modified version of rpgmaker, but you confirmed it! Now im gonna start making something for valentines day for the girl that has my heart :)
I am a bad motherfucker in real life... and im not just bragging about it.. i never cried in jail my first time... or in the army or in the yugoslavian war... but this game... just made me wimp like a liltle girl... they should deff. make a movie... great job to the creators... god bless
Very powerful song to an equally powerful game. This can't even be considered a game, its more like art. After completing To the Moon i literally just took a 2 hour walk just to think.
THE HARDER I TRY NOT TO CRY

When this world is no more..
