Them Feels

    Well, I think it about time I scribble something. Lets see, how bout a short game review? Bitches Peeps love game reviews. However, I'd like to highlight one specific game that I think captures the heart of players. No, I'm not talking bout Call of Doody or shooty dooty games, I'm talking about an indie game.

Simple yet provoking.

     What's so special about this game you ask. Well, To The Moon was one of the few finalists in Gamespot's 2011 Game of the year award, To the Moon was given the "Best Story" award, which was won which were also voted in the same category. To the Moon was also nominated in the categories of "Best Music","Most Memorable Moment", "Best Writing/Dialogue", "Best Ending", and "Song of the Year".

       Also, fans of Plant Versus Zombie will recognize who Laura Shigihara is. Yep, you got it right, Laura Shigihara is one of em composer for the audio in this game. Not only that, To The Moon was also a finalist in the Excellence in Audio category  in the 2012 Independent Games Festival. So, still hesitating on getting the game? 

      Abit of background stuff, you play as either one of two "doctors" named Eva Rosalene and Neil Watts, sometimes interchanging between those two throughout the story. They fulfill a patient's dream, allowing them to relive the dream right before they die. (Think Inception) Their patient, Johnny Wyles wants to go to the moon. However he doesn't know why. So here is where your journey begins.

         Its a fairly straightforward old-school point and click gameplay, colourful 8-bit graphic presentation accompanied by it's ever present thought provoking OSTs. Now, the OST actually spurred me on and I finished it in one playthrough that lasted about 3 hours? Nevertheless, when I got to the ending, I died a little inside. It had the perfect ending one could ask for. And Jesus Christ, it was full of feels. 

         If you're looking to get this game on Steam, I strongly suggest that you complete it in one uninterrupted playthough. Its worth every single feel you get. Honestly, I never knew this game could invoke such strong feelings. Thumbs up to the devs. Thank you :')

Is this game worth?
