To The Moon was quite an experience of a game for me.
In To The Moon, you play as scientists who are part of a corporation called the Sigmund Corp. They are developing a technology that can create artificial memories, and they offer this as a "wish fulfillment" service to people who are about to pass away, so that they may pass on more peacefully. However, these artificial memories conflict with the patient's real memories, and the procedure is only legal to do on people without much time left to live.
Sigmund Corp. employees Dr. Eva Rosalene and Dr. Neil Watts are requested to provide fulfillment to the lifelong dream of the dying Johnny Wyles, Although he never could explain why, Johnny's lifelong dream was always to go to the moon. The doctors use special headgear and devices that allows them to interact and put themselves into an interactive compilation of his memories, and traverse backward through his life, from his elder years to his childhood.
The more time goes on through the memories, the more Eva and Neil learn about Johnny and his life. They find mementos, and learn about him, what brought him to his career, and his marriage. I will not spoil anything else, as the game is an absolutely incredible experience to enjoy being blind to the story and going into hearing and seeing it for the first time. However, I will say that To The Moon has so many emotionally impactful moments, some of hope, some of despair, some of fear and some of pain. You will see the memories through Johnny's mind, and start to develop knowledge about his life, as well as possibly think about your own.
The game's story and emotional impact are amazing and incredible, and To The Moon still remains one of the most emotional and touching games that I've ever played. The soundtrack is also absolutely beautiful, and adds to the atmosphere in the game.
I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a story-rich game with plenty of emotion, and lots of real-life stuff to think about, too. It was an incredible experience of a game, and I cannot recommend it enough. ^.^
