Mainly thanks to the pioneering gents at Rock Paper Shotgun, I’ve been exposed to some news about To The Moon, a creation of Freebird Games. Not much news, mind, because those same gents warned me the play the game first and read about it second, a warning I’m all but happy to take. But from what I did read, it’s supposed to be an emotionally charged, story-focused, SNES-era sprite-style adventure game. There’s literally nothing in that description I don’t like, so my playing it was a pretty foregone conclusion. It’s gotten some high praise; I hope it’ll be deserved.
But did this game make me cry? The answer to this question is somewhere in this review.
