About game

"To The Moon" is an indie adventure game developed by Freebird Games, released in 2011. The game tells a profoundly emotional story that revolves around two doctors, Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts, who are tasked with fulfilling the dying wish of a man named Johnny. Johnny's last desire is to go to the moon, but due to various circumstances in his life, he never got the chance to pursue this dream. To achieve this goal, the doctors use a technology that allows them to enter his memories and navigate through them, reconstructing his life experiences in an attempt to implant the memory of going to the moon. The gameplay primarily focuses on exploration and storytelling rather than traditional gameplay mechanics, utilizing a top-down perspective and a retro-style pixel art aesthetic. As players delve into Johnny's memories, they discover the poignant and bittersweet moments of his life, including his relationship with his childhood friend, River, and the events that shaped their lives. The game beautifully weaves together themes of love, loss, and nostalgia, offering players an emotional experience that resonates long after the credits roll. With its hauntingly beautiful soundtrack composed by Kan Gao, "To The Moon" has garnered critical acclaim for its storytelling and artistic vision, making it a memorable entry in the realm of indie gaming.
