To the Moon is an independent RPG/adventure PC game by Freebird Games which heavily focuses on story. It features two doctors traversing through the memories of a dying man to fulfill his last wish.
Story[]
The story follows Dr. Eva Rosalene and Dr. Neil Watts—employed by Sigmund Corp.—as they fulfill the life-long dream of the dying Johnny Wyles. Johnny's wish is simple: he wants to go to the moon. But he doesn't know why. To accomplish this task, the doctors must insert themselves into an interactive compilation of his memories and traverse backwards through his life via mementos. With each leap to an important moment in his mind, they learn more about the patient and what brought him to his current position in life. Upon reaching his childhood, the doctors attempt to insert his desire to go to the moon. The intention is that once the desire is implanted, Johnny's mind will create memories of a new life based on that desire, and he'll die believing he lived without any regrets.
But not everything goes as planned. The two doctors find themselves with a heavy mystery concerning Johnny's desire, his past, and his deceased wife, River. With the clock ticking, Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts must unravel Johnny's complicated past and do whatever it takes to send him to the moon.
Gameplay[]
While the game is described as an Adventure\RPG, the RPG part only applies to the art direction which is very reminiscent of the old 8-bit RPGs. The gameplay itself mostly consists of acquiring the mementos necessary to travel to the next memory, driving the story along.
In total the game offers about 5 hours of gameplay.
