Cry Plays: To the Moon [P5]

[@PandasEatTacos]

As someone who battles with Asperger's this story really hits hard for me. I feel a deep connection with both Izzy and River. The not feeling "normal", having to act, people thinking you're cold when in reality you just don't know how to express how you feel. This is a wonderful game. It really opens up doors for people to learn more about Asperger's.

[@hellfrozenphoenix13]

I love this game for introducing me to Aspurgers, it allows me to understand it and therefore understand people that suffer from it. I know of only 2 games with this, the other being borderlands (Tannis Patricia has it) but this game knows how to show how hard it can be. God bless you BTW, its not easy living with disabilities but if you fight it is still worth living. :)

[@subtleshenanigans5983]

Zukitaxx Thank you, as someone else with Asperger's Syndrome, I completely agree. I'm not far into this episode but I agree with what Izzy says so far - it's hard when you're constantly trying to pass as "normal". It puts even more stress because I'm so afraid to be myself (I'm learning to, once more.) But I also fear a relationship - whether romantic or friendship - because I don't want to become a strain on anyone, like Johnny expresses' the aloofness taking a toll on him. Sorry for rambling; I know this comment of yours is older but thank you for adding it - it's nice to see that there's others out there, you know?

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

It gets even harder when you also have to explain to people why you are how you are. With autism people usually notice that you have a disability and that you will behave or have to be treated differently - but with aspergers you only come across as weird or eccentric. People are just like "wtf is this dude's problem?" And even if you explain they won't understand always. Also even when I try to act normal I am sure I don't really come across as normal.

[@subtleshenanigans5983]

Grey Warden and Champion of Kirkwall Oof, I can definitely agree with that.

[@konumbra]

i know this is old but i’m re watching this now and i’m feeling the same way

[@jenniferdunning8475]

Her dress at the reception is blue and yellow just like the rabbit...

[@SmolSarahsYT]

Guys... He burried her on the spot where they got married...

[@TheMaidHatter]

My little brother is autistic, and that bit about expressing yourself is true - though he wasn't diagnosed until preschool screening, my mom noticed he had a harder time telling people what he wanted, needed, or just what he was trying to say. She compensated in two ways - the first, and most important, was teaching him how to express himself; stomping his feet when he was upset, waving his hands around when he wanted someone's attention. The second was teaching him the words to express himself - if he didn't know the right words, he couldn't really be understood. And so he learned the way all kids learned - TV. Only my mom was believed by many to be tyrannical with what we watched, she wasn't one of those parents who let us watch just anything. And so my brother became the most polite little boy anyone in our town had ever met, because one of his favorite shows for a very long time was Rolie Polie Olie. Probably the hardest thing to remember about him and other autistic people is that, even when they've been taught, they can't always handle stress or emotions the same as others. My brother's been taught how to remove himself from situations that make him angry or upset, but if he's being picked on or something that doesn't always fix the situation - he'll walk away, and the jerk kids will just follow him. So that's why he got in trouble a lot in school - he'd eventually reach his breaking point, and then get punished while the "normal" kids became "victims." But the most interesting part of autism is their super powers - anyone who happens to know someone with autism knows what I mean. Autistic people don't have a broken brain - they just use a different 10% than others. Because of this, they usually have a great (if selective) memory. My brother only has to visit a place once, and he'll almost always remember how exactly to get there. He can also tell you just about anything about dinosaurs, Godzilla, and most recently The Hobbit (though he's learned most of it from wiki's, he doesn't like to read.) Well, this got long and a bit off track...

[@DePieks]

I love that for the first few episodes of this series, Cry was using his weird fake voice, but the more he got into the game, the more he dropped it :)

[@Eldanon1]

This game could very easily be made into a movie. I would watch that.

[@whatishappening7491]

Eldanon1 same

[@freypatrick5923]

Eldanon1 my friend is making a short film based off it!!! Except we have to drive for three hours just to film the lighthouse stuff...

[@whatishappening7491]

Gracie Lou That is awesome!!! I wish the best of luck to them!

[@Eldanon1]

That's amazing! Let me know how it turns out!

[@Pablorovirita]

Boy, do I have news for you...

[@88eggs]

Oh god the blue and yellow rabbit was the colors of River's wedding dress. I think she wanted Johnny to notice that. Because she actually did treasure little things like that and wanted to let him know. This game...

[@DevilSlayr]

actually I think shes was wanting him to remember the time the met as kids during a carnival, yellow was the stars or moon and blue was the night sky...

[@88eggs]

Daniel Stevenson Oh that does make sense! It was probably both the dress and rabbit then, wasn't it? Oh that became a lot sadder...

[@DevilSlayr]

sehromiTOONberry yeah could be both or maybe the dress was just an alusion to the rabbit something like that...

[@EchoL0C0]

As someone who was diagnosed early with ASD, I can't tell you how true Izzy's words are, or hard they hit home. Cry, thank you so much for playing this.

[@Tubuxis]

What is ASD, if you don't mind me asking?

[@EchoL0C0]

I don't mind at all, in fact I'm happy when people are curious. Sorry if I ramble a bit. First off, what I meant by ASD is "Asperger's Syndrome Disorder" but it also stands for "Austistic Spectrum Disorders" which is basically a category that includes Aspergers's Syndrome Disorder and other things like it, such as PDD, which stands for Pervasive Developmental Disorder (which is what the two women have), and more. It's called a spectrum, since it can run from relatively mild things like PDD, to things that can dealt with with enough effort, like ASD, to really severe things that make it possible for someone to live independently. However, how early something is diagnosed and how much effort is put into therapy have a huge impact on the lower-end ones like PDD and ASD, so even though ASD is generally considered more severe than PDD, since I was diagnosed early, I'm somewhere between River and her friend in terms of severity. As for Aspberger's itself, it's basically sever social awkwardness. One of the most common symptoms are very deep interests in very narrow topics, like one type of train, or a specific architectural style or such, that usually starts out in childhood. Another is called "mind-blindness" which basically means not being aware that the other person is thinking of what they are saying just like you and/or of their feelings, which leads to things like saying things that are truthful but mean without realizing that they may hurt the other person's feelings, talking too much, and such, which in turn often leads to having trouble making friends and/or being bullied. Also common is trouble with more abstract speaking skills (such as metaphorical language, sarcasm, subtext, and such) and a lot of social skills (like subtlety, reading emotions, picking up on cues, etc.). Routine is also a big thing, so they are more likely to get upset by surprises and are more likely to focus on one thing, or in extreme cases, do things over and over. The last common symptom I can think of is being oversensitive and/or under-sensitive to different senses. For example, noise overwhelms me some times, but sometimes I'll wake up with an injury that I don't remember feeling. Now, it's important to remember that the various conditions in the ASD can be expressed very differently from person to person. For example, people turn out to be super shy and very polite but spend most of their time alone, while others can turn out to be seemingly rude, but very outgoing. Basically, unlike physical ailments, mental ones don't always "look" very similar. Also, for someone to be diagnosed with ASD, they need most of the symptoms above, but not all, while people with PDD have only a few of them, but it's still bad enough that it's clear something isn't "normal". Also, while medication and therapy help us to "act normal" the question still remains, how much of the "true me" is everyone else seeing? It's not all bad, though. People with ASD are a bit better on remembering facts, and can learn social skills by observing patterns, though the older people are more likely to have a harder time practicing them with real people, due to bad experiences that make them scared or frustrated with "normal situations" like office parties, introducing yourself to a new neighbor, or other things. It's also cool that those of us who learned young actually know WHY people behave the way they do a bit better than most, and the fact that we think differently makes some things easier, like flattery doesn't work as easily, being cool doesn't seem as important, and being seen as important is less likely to make us like you, though that has its downsides at times, too. Two last important things, and then I'll stop rambling. First, in some ways, it's kind of the opposite of psychopathy; instead of being able to pretend to care about people while secretly not caring, a lot of actually do care about people but we have a harder time showing it.Secondly, it's there's enough good to counteract the bad that it's still widely debated whether a "cure" is actually needed, or if treatment is enough. That's it! Sorry for rambling your ear off. Thanks if you read it all!

[@witra9564]

EchoL0C0 you should make a novel.

[@spencergage95]

EchoL0C0 Pretty good explanation; this Aspie approves of it. Also, MayorOfTheWorld, a bunch of people with Asperger's have written memoirs about their experiences. I'd love to write mine, but...there already a million others. If I may opine about Izzy for a bit: As an Aspie, what she said just didn't sit right with me. The first time I heard it, I thought, "No, that can't quite be right". The second time I went back to check it out, I just felt angry. Angry at her, I guess. I wanted to just step into the game and tell her how wrong she was. For years, I knew I had Asperger's, but I made no real attempt to manage it. We're not necessarily victims of a misunderstanding society. We're also, at times, the harbringers of our own misery and self-destruction. I, for example, was a cynical, bigoted jerk for a long time. And I let my Asperger's do that to me. I surrendered to it and justified it by saying that everyone else was in the wrong. I had my good moments, sure, but if I could go back in time and find my past self I'd give him a slap to the face and tell him to appreciate the people in his life instead of trying to separate himself from them, trying to place himself above everyone else. That's what I did, subconsciously. In light of all that, I eventually did realize my flaws and realized that I needed to change. I mellowed out, but I realized that I didn't want to be a burden to my family, or just waste my life away alone. I don't have many opportunities to "learn" social rules, and there's no real way for anyone to teach me at the moment, but I'm trying. Not for my own sake, but for that of others. I have talents and insight and many valuable things to offer society, and I can't simply twist it to my liking. All I can do is change my attitude a bit and value people instead of just seeing them as idiots or monsters out to get me. Izzy's words are just selfish and deceitful. I wouldn't feasibly be able to adopt a "social guise" in front of everyone--it would just be among people that I needed to make a good first impression on. I wouldn't have to "act like a regular person", I'd just need to curb some of my mannerisms a bit, and I've already learned how to do that quite well. Reading social cues and facial expressions is something I can get into the habit of doing with enough practice and maybe some help from other, well-meaning people. But Izzy is insisting that such things would be like living a lie. I hate her for saying that because THAT is the lie. Having Asperger's is no excuse to be selfish and think that you're the only one suffering, even if it's hard not to see it that way. Many people have feelings of loneliness, shyness, introversion, stress, anger, etc. Asperger's is just a way that my worries manifest themselves. To say that I have it worse than others is arrogant in light of the many people in the world suffering who have no food or clean water or families or are paralyzed or stigmatized far more than I have been. I've only felt a small fraction of some of these things in comparison to the people out there that are genuinely suffering. I, for one, would love to learn social skills--and I don't have a complete lack of them, anyway--and I know that if I use them to find friends, then I can be myself around them. If they truly value me, then I can be honest with them. I don't have to go around acting for everyone, and even then I don't need to act all that much. Learning these social skills wouldn't ruin my life, it would make things better. Not every Aspie "needs" to learn these things, but I would love the idea of services that would help them so that it can be a personal choice. Some Aspies don't want friends, and that's fine. Others do, and social skills can help. I agree with Izzy in that I really dislike it when "neurotypicals" (basically a word that autistic people came up with to make themselves feel better about themselves by casting anyone not like them into an "other" class) think they know best, but I also hate it when Aspies are selfish and spoiled and lie to themselves. We're not very good at lying to people, but we can certainly lie to ourselves as much as anyone else. I would love it if society attempted to meet us halfway, but it can't ever do so completely, no matter how much "awareness" or dumb pride or activism autistic people get. So it's up to me to try and reach out to it. River was determined to befriend one of those lighthouses, and so am I, even if I feel like I can't do it. That's probably why I like her better, even if her character doesn't go beyond her Asperger's much (to clarify, ASD does not determine your personality, your personal views, your ability to appreciate people or your attitude at life. Not every Aspie is bitter, but I was and it was not how I should have handled the challenges thrown at me). Izzy is probably trying to be well-meaning, but she's a bit arrogant, and she's basically implying to every autistic person who comes in contact with this game that it's better to just give up and be alone, doing only what you're obsessed with and letting society keep you down. That's repugnant and a horrible message to send. I've seen that happen in myself. That's what happened to me. And I've seen that in another KZbinr who has Asperger's as well. My heart breaks for him, even though he'd never admit to feeling the way he does. Izzy's experiences and attitude doesn't reflect everyone with Asperger's, and I want everyone reading this to know that. I'm sick and tired of being a victim and living by my own labels. I'm more than an Aspie, I'm a person who just happens to have it. Am I disabled? Am I special? Am I differently-abled? I don't care. I have good qualities, and I have flaws like everyone else. I'm no better or worse than anyone else. And...sorry for that long rant. I just had to get that off my chest.

[@witra9564]

Spencer Gage alright mr. Gage M.D.

[@astermattern6507]

Don't know if you'll see this, or anyone else. I never got to really watching this series until now, and I knew it'd be a tear-jerker. But the alluding to asperger's really hit close to home and made me cry. It really does suck to have to put on a fake front all the time. It's not the real you, and when you slip up people notice and you get avoided. I've been bullied and treated awfully since first grade, and I had no idea what I'd done wrong. Now I'm twenty-one years old, my self-esteem is shit, but I'm still trying to stay strong. Thank you, Cry. KZbinrs like you help me get through things and help me escape for a while.

[@Londronable]

As somebody with aspergers. Glad I quit the acting thing. It was tiring as hell. You're more lonely that way but...well, the same thing that makes you bad socially also makes you not really give a damn. Also the way she answered questions was spot on. Simply answer them. If you ask a yes/no question, expect a yes/no answer with us.

[@Londronable]

***** Well, the thing is that it's truly a case of "do I want to bother". Currently that is no. As long as it isn't a case of wanting to but not being able to I can't say it bothers me too much. Some day I might say "let's get a girlfriend" for example and then I'll put in the effort. Currently even close friends seems more of a bother than they are worth. A single conversation a day with a friend over the internet at this point is plenty of social interaction(+ my job as a bookkeeper). We have roughly 80 years on this planet, I'm going to enjoy the hell out of them and I'm not going to apologize for not enjoying them the same way others do :p.

[@Londronable]

***** No it doesn't. As I said, it's a matter of if it's worth it. If I fall heads over heels in love with a girl then I will obviously consider it "worth it" so to speak. It's just that I'm currently not actively looking. I take life as it comes.

[@Simon-ys2ij]

Neil: Ugh. Talking about grandparents Rosa: You talk about your grandfather all the time Neil: No I don't Rosa: ... Neil: Did I ever tell you about how my granddad and I used to go stargazing?

Yep.

[@AGCLizRo]

This is the second time I've watched this LP but... is it just me or is River's wedding dress the same colors as the multi-colored origami bunny we see at the beginning of the game?

[@StargazinGummybears]

This is my first time watching it and I thought the exact same thing! You beat me to the comment :)

[@Brimmy21]

i saw another comment from a diff part saying that it was also supposed to represent the moon from when they first first met....and that STILL didn't jog John's memory

[@levaChier]

AnimeFreakAsahi16 You should have put a "spoiler" alert before your post ^^ (for those who haven't played/watched it already)

[@commanderauk2412]

The muit colored bunny is for the moon

[@Animewolfluver-kv4ey]

It is the same colors and because of it I been screaming at the screen notice the damn colors!!! Pleaseeeeee

[@anyawilliams3375]

Didn't ever think my name would be used in a game. Like I didn't think it was very common but okay so I share a name with a lighthouse that's cool.

[@RONANAWAY]

Lol

[@johnandsoon6081]

I know it's a little late, but I know an manga character with the name Anya. She's in Negima. I think there was an anime with her, too.

[@ChaoticMonki]

@ienmi Absolutely no problem. I am glad you enjoyed it. :]

[@ChaoticMonki]

@mrPalistov All songs used in every video pertaining to this game will be from the game itself - as for which one I used there I don't quite remember. But yes I agree, it is beautiful as are all of the other tracks. :]

[@MikeDaner2630]

normally I find love stories like this a bit too cheezy but I rather like this one. It's quite nice

[@AceKimiChan]

I just realised, John and River got buried on the spots they got married.

[@ChaoticMonki]

@12walkietalkie13 Since the description says it has spoilers, I'll be sure to watch it as soon as I finish playing the game. Thank you. :]

[@chiiyaseeds]

"You better not be making out without me........... I wanna watch." Oh cry, you little doof :'D

[@xNightngale]

Watched this a few times, just noticed. The wedding dress was blue and yellow. The rabbit from earlier on in the series...Mind Blown...

[@bellamartin9898]

Kaboom!!!!!

[@ChaoticMonki]

@marcopolo735 I'd rather keep the viewers who can enjoy such a beautiful story than the ones who enjoy mindless spooks, though.

[@ChaoticMonki]

@Gonxp12 Getting a partnership didn't change the amount of videos I do. I do the same I have always done. As for the amount of time each video is, for To the Moon I like them done in 20~ish minute segments because it almost make each video episodic. Skyrim as well, making them nice and long like the game is, nice and long. Just a coincidence I think - if you're thinking I'm aiming to make more bang for my buck I'd do 5-10 minute videos all the time and enable ads on each one.

[@ChaoticMonki]

@SirMisterMr Definitely going to try every episode he does, yes. :] Also, I've not tried Cinematic Mod but I've seen a lot of videos - looks damn pretty!

[@manyppI2]

anyone else notice the wedding dress is yellow and blue like the rabbit?

[@bellamartin9898]

Plot twist!??!!?

[@rossbloom6490]

And the bunny constellation when they were young... Which John doesn't remember because memory blocking drugs.

[@katiemartinez6352]

Don't say that at lest put a spoliera

[@grantzolldan]

No, I didn't, because I've had enough of motifs in English class.

[@rainbowalejandro]

It's funny how Cry is named... Well, Cry, and I can't really imagine him crying. He's a sweetheart but the "mien" about his voice suggests immunity to crying. But I can totally relate to tearing up on scenes like those.

[@juniusballeria3283]

Dun mind me watching fetus Cry play in 2017.

[@kuparihiuksi]

This is one of the rare games that made me very emotionally. Never knew whether I'd laugh or cry the next moment. I'm glad I found Cry's playthrough. Love re-living this one :)

[@lauracardenas8718]

SO ADORABLE I AM NOW CHOCKING OF THE FEELS

[@andreakagstrom8658]

Played this such a long time ago, and now decided to go back and just watch the story again. Your voice just makes this even more emotional, and everything's just so sad. Even River's dress have the same colors as that folded rabbit. That just shows how much that memory means to her..

[@SmolSarahsYT]

Why am I crying over a lighthouse? ;~;

[@LezzyBugO3O]

I love how you used the game's music when you were speeding up your attempts at the puzzles. Very creative.

[@FourthStar]

Watching your videos before going to sleep is so relaxing, Cry... Specially these ones. Even if I cry my heart out, your soothing voice and your comments just make it sweeter and perfect. No alarms; no surprises. You also seem like a sensitive person; good for you on that, buddy. It's something that also gets transmitted to all of us :)

[@MaxGrenede]

Are you aware of how adorable you are when you go awwww and get all sensitive? You're fucking cute. Anyways, I just wanted to tell you that I think you're an amazing person and that you are blessed. Yup. So, that's it.

[@madelinevlam2669]

I know a girl who had Asperger's syndrome and she was very unsocial and struggled a bit..River reminds me of her

[@KaitoGillscale]

Dude...this is a soft side of you I rarely see outside of your Cry reads...I'm glad you did this...your such a sweetheart sometimes, and it's good to see.

[@maxaroni39]

This game means a lot to me, as someone on the autism spectrum. River's story is handled with such care. I wish more games covered these topics and gave them the respect Freebird Games does.

[@crunchy_kitkat]

seeing that cry is as teary as i am makes me feel so much better about crying i love how as soon as things get serious cry drops the accent

[@LadyLatinSG]

Excuse me while I go to the bathroom. I have to dry the excessive fluids escaping from my eyes.

[@L4nc3Murdock]

when he said "aww" at the dancing in the lighthouse, I couldn't help but laugh... god damn this is an awsome 'let's play'

[@hskatkat]

Cry, you are probably one of the sweetest guys ever. Just admitting you felt something emotionally for something that isn't "real" proves that. i'm proud of you, stranger (:

[@IcedMochaFrappe]

I am so close to tears in these videos. I've never cried during anything before, not movies, books, or tv shows. great game, and player of course

[@cascadinglights7957]

"Can I... Can I poke you?" I laughed way too hard a this

[@KolusBonus]

Oh god.. My eyes are hurting from trying not to cry.. This is so emotional.. Your reading in this is really good, Cry..

[@AnOddBird]

Yeah, the problem isn't the condition...it's that society seems so scared of people who are different. I hope one day we can get rid of prejudice and bullying forever :)

[@MiharuKayu]

I just can't wait everyday to watch this before going to sleep. It's so beautiful, sad and funny at the same time. I just love it. Thanks a lot Cry! You're making my evenings so emotional. I'm really enjoying this.

[@ChaoticMonki]

@Gonxp12 Nah - just wanted to clear that up before someone took the wrong idea from it. :]

[@ChaoticMonki]

@ArcticUnderground Just a simple Logitech clearchat headset and Fraps. :]

[@StochasticStatistics]

I like how cry sits in on his memories and makes comments that only others watching can see, unbeknownst to his relative past self. Very meta cry. Well done

[@number1funnygirl2]

When cry says "Awwwwe!" Oh my goodness you adorable weirdo

[@BubblyBlackbird]

Your laugh makes me so happy, Cry! The joy is contagious!

[@medicyukisuna]

When i played through the game, i got a huge shock when she said that. I immediately identified myself within her words, as i have asperger myself. I understood immediately that this was the case for her, and that added a whole new depth to the story for me. Suddenly i could identify more than usual with the characters in the story, and that was pretty heavy. I love that the developers try to explain what it can be like to have asperger's diagnose.

[@lakenhigbee6969]

I relate to Izzy so much. I'm crying.

[@eyewai]

This hit a home run hard for some of us with mental illnesses especially ones who can strongly relate to Isabelle or River.

[@sarahgum4962]

Now im wondering does river regret marrying john?

[@CartographerPenelope]

its like getting a new car in the sound of a voice. i cant even drive and i can understand and appreciate how awesome that is

[@TheAkatem]

Oh my gosh... Cry is so perfect! His voice is amazing, he's sentamental, AND he has a sense of humor! Absolutely amazing.

[@SpArK4GrL]

Was any one else thrilled when Cry got teary eyed? Because man it gets soooo much sadder then this and I think I'm gonna melt if he cries!!

[@XxIndividualxX]

hahaha the tone of your voice for the narrations is absolutely perfect

[@zoedarrah3176]

I was 12 when I watched this for the first time 8 years ago. Rewatching it now, and Im bawling my eyes out just as hard.

[@ikeikeikea]

whoa a comment from less than a year ago!! I was 11 when this came out, and honestly it was too boring for me so I quit watching pretty close to the beginning. I came back to watch it now, and I see that I really missed out on this amazing experience back then.

[@Nick46289]

Those two guys gonna become my favorite characters) Awesome game. And you, Cry, awesome as always.

[@Angelina1541]

I'm touched and halfway through Cry's laughter just pops out 😹😹 his laughter 👌👌❤️💜💛💚

[@AllHailThaKing]

the game devs should thank you for being the best voice of their creation, and i thank them for making such a great game which leads me to thank you for playing it.

[@sksummoner]

By far the best series you played Cry.

[@Saya2133]

I wish I could watch him stream again or at least a current video watching old videos males me miss his content more

[@Bexmar13]

I actually started crying when they were dancing in the lighthouse. It makes me sad too because this story is actually kind of reminding me of my own grandparents' story. I won't go into it, but this game is amazing and I love every bit of it :') I expect to be half breaking down by the end of it, to be honest.

[@apocalypsehunter106]

I love how you got all excited over the wedding scene! It was so cute. >w

[@guest2340]

This game is the perfect blend of facepalm-worthy, genuinely witty humour and heart-shattering sadness. Cry, with that voice, you are the perfect person to have narrated it. To think that I cried like a little bitch at the end of Pewdie's playthrough, I'm probably going to run out of emotions far before this one ends. :'|

[@DarthKato]

I read the Animorphs series when I was younger. I think I I still have one of the books buried somewhere in my closet. Been a while since I read one of them. I think I will try to find it later and read it for old times sake.

[@ChemicalxPony]

I love Animorphs :D such a good book. Your voice is so calming, Cry.

[@Firestar1992]

It's watching you play games with moments like this that makes me go, "Cry...MARRY ME!!!" Why can't all guys be a sweet during sentimental moments as you?

[@Elvenpath91]

Sup cry im loving this ur epic voice makes the story even more beautiful

[@dylanmusij1773]

when they were talking near the lighthouse, i loved the music the music was very touching

[@nolimitkev8263]

I'm gonna cry my soul out... I have now watched your lp of the game, played it myself and watched Pewds. Every time... I cry my soul out. I love ya Cry.

[@zmcr1234]

Damnit, I'm trying to stay awake to finish watching this series, but Cry's voice is waaaay to comforting! XD so conflicted right now

[@newyoikmabsta]

This should be a very popular series. I guess a lot of Cry's other fans can't appreciate an awesome story when they see it.

[@VeanSunny]

cry's "awww" was the cutest thing ever.

[@gaaraisthebest170]

it was adorable to watch Cry getting so into the wedding scene~

[@TinyWorldDomination]

I can relate to how Cry likes to see love bloom. 'w' it was a cute scene.

[@Iyrsiiea]

I'm pretty sure it's Aspergers that Isabelle and River have. I'm sure because I have it too. I can empathize with Izzy, the effort it takes to act 'normal' can take a toll, but I think I've found a happy medium between faking it all the time and being myself. It's like learning to speak a foreign language, but finding ways to use your own names or terms for things while being understood.

Another hint is of the book the doctor gives to Johnny and River later in the game. The author of the book specifically focuses on Asperger's syndrome.

[@TheNewYearOne]

they should turn this game into an anime

[@katiemartinez6352]

OMG I WOULD PAY TO WATCH THAT HAPPEN OR A.MOVIE

[@courtneyjolley01]

I'd love to read it as a book just to see the emotional wording

[@cookiecrunch02]

it got confirmed for an animated film!!!!!

[@Gnureplank1]

River's weddingdress is blue and yellow... That one paper rabbit was also blue and yellow.. She's autistic, and as Izzy said, she creates connections through gestures or objects to show that she cares. The fact that she make Johnny describe the rabbits is because she wants him to understand how much teh wedding meant to her, but she doesn't manage do tell him directly... THIS STORY IS SO COMPLEX AND BEAUTIFUL

[@AnOddBird]

The fact that Isabelle says she learned 'how to act' is a pretty big clue, I think. People with Aspergers are taught the kind of social behaviour that others normally do, so when they communicate it's like performing something you've rehearsed.

Cry's commentary is really good on this. Hes really sensetive, but still Cry. Good on you sir!

[@lugnassadh9465]

Cobra ?? I thought it was lion... I remember David (lion) fought with Jake (tiger) in the mall. And he was curious who would win. By the way, I really like Animorphs saries. Thats the one of my favourities books from childhood, and yeah I re-read it. Not so time ago.

[@renation89]

it's supposed to be like that. (spoilers): remember that john never reads Animorphs. it also explains the lack of disease name in his memory because he doesn't want to know about it. people tend to forget that this is memory travelling, not time travelling

[@TNikole11]

I could totally fall asleep to the ending music... So peaceful...

[@FrootzKat]

Cry, don't let them get you down, the only viewers you need are the ones that enjoy you for you, not the game you play! This game is beautiful, and the only one who could properly credit it is you!

[@dylanmusij1773]

At 9:39, there is a really weird glitch. Could just be my computer

[@mistressbedlam8150]

AllieKat It's not. I got it too.

[@watermelongal6040]

I came to the comment section to make sure my phone wasn't broken 😂

[@CatMomie]

I started to cry a little at River and John dancing in the light house. x3

[@Keiler0102]

Yeah, the story got a lot of manly tears out of my eyes.. x) It's so sad because it never really happened but so beautiful and touching at the same time.. never seen such a beautiful story besides Clannad.. I really look forward to the sequels, I'm hoping we will get a glance at the memories of Dr. Watts and Dr. Rosalene :)

[@DrJinIchi]

"I am so proud of Joey" as a person who already watched this once, I cried.

[@43gamelock]

whenever i watch this i have to be ready to tear up :( keep up the amazing work cry D': *happy tears* lol

[@GoblinSoks]

I am crying right now. When Rosalene said she doesn't like watching people make mistakes I was all like " COMMIE!" and then I cried

[@oreokitty333]

Cry, this is such a beautiful story. I don't get all the negative feedback about this game. It's so pretty and thank you for exposing me to it.

[@Flea817]

This game has made me both laugh and cry. It's a masterpiece.

[@gembones]

I'm watching this at four in the morning. I meant to go to sleep four hours ago. This game is just too tear jerking.

[@mediocrio]

I loved that series. Never got around to finishing it, though.

[@KillerBunnie101]

Goddamn it, Cry. I almost cried during this part, and I haven't cried yet through this whole playthrough.
