Cry Plays: To the Moon [P10]

[@TheEvilWithinFan]

So that explains why River made that blue and yellow rabbit! It was to remind Johnny of the night they first met and made the rabbit constellation! The blue part was supposed to be the sky and the yellow part was supposed to resemble the moon. But he couldn't remember that particular memory because of the beta blockers, so that whole time, River was trying to make him remember by constantly making those origami rabbits... Brb, gonna go cry in a corner. ;_;

[@Nyerguds]

There's one thing that makes it all better, though: in the end, Johnny wanted to go to the moon, and didn't know why, which implies that maybe, just maybe, River's paper rabbits managed to trigger some small part of that memory. And Eva and Neil did the rest. Which means that, in the end, River succeeded.

[@hayz691]

Nyerguds Oh my god that mAKES IT WORSE *SOBS* IT'S TOO BITTERSWEET

[@Nyerguds]

NipahMotherfuckers You have a strange definition of "worse" :p

[@muhammadhaikal8123]

There's another thing. River, died without knowing she did it. It wasn't what she did, it was Neil and Eva. She died, thinking she failed. Sorry if I made you cry. Now excuse me while I crawl up in the corner. ;-;

[@Nyerguds]

Grant Kendrall At least she died knowing Anya wouldn't be alone anymore. And by giving away the house, Johnny made sure it would stay that way.

[@godzillasaurbuttersworth3176]

ok so i see some people are confused, so here's what happened. when johnny was a kid, he met river, and they made a promise that if they ever got lost or couldn't find each other, they'd meat up on the moon, ergo johnny's dream of being an astronaut. however, when his twin brother, joey, died, his mother gave him a bunch of beta blockers, a type of heart medication that can affect memories, and essentially raised him to be like joy (liking the anamophs series, liking pickled olives, ect) because joey was her favorite son. as a result, johnny forgot all about his twin brother, and, to an extent, river. years latter he re-met river, and started dating her, but still didnt remember her from when they were young. but river did. as they got older and rivers condition got worse, she became more obsessed with getting john to remember what happened, but she didn't want to tell him directly, hence the hackey-sack, the blue and white paper rabbit, constantly asking him to describe the rabbit, ect. of course, he couldn't, but she didn't know that.

[@vVAstrAVv]

her condition didnt get worse she only started doing that after he told her why he asked her out ( she had assumed he remembered her) which turned out to be because he simply thought she was weird so she cut her hair short like when she was young and did all the other stuff too

[@Revion7]

So basically... Johnny's mom is a terrible mother?

[@vVAstrAVv]

TheBullet0777 oh yes among the very worst

[@HawaiianGirl808232]

TheBullet0777 To be fair, she did go a little coo coo after killing her own son.

[@Revion7]

Look, I know that accidents can happen and I know I can't understand the grief she went through when that happened but to knowingly give the son that IS alive some medicine to essentially erase who he is to try to make him like his brother, her favorite of the two, is just despicable in my book.

[@tdo0msday]

So I heard somewhere that "to the moon" was good. I remember seeing one video thumbnail of cry playing this game before but wasn't interested then. Then after seeing it mentioned somewhere recently, and I got bored last night with nothing to do, so I figured, let's see what it's about. After seeing the beginning of the game, I went, "oh geez it's a RPG maker style game. People say it's good but it can't be that good, can it. Well I'll just watch this to kill some time, could be interesting." I spent the whole night lying in bed watching videos after videos. And now at 5 am I reached this part. I wasn't prepared for any of this. I really wasn't. This probably sounds like some excuse, because it is. I have to make some, because. My pillow is wet now. I'm probably going to cry a lot more, so I'll go drink some water.

[@TheWeirdNorwegianGuy]

You didn't drown by the end, did you?

[@tdo0msday]

No, but I did keep sobbing like a bitch causing my mother to wake up and wonder what the heck was wrong with her son. Fortunately I drank a lot of water in preparation so I didn't suffer from dehydration. That's something.

[@TheWeirdNorwegianGuy]

Always look on the bright side of the life.

[@tdo0msday]

Monty Python, oh yeah.

[@TheWeirdNorwegianGuy]

The best.

[@ianli3027]

Johnny wants to go to the moon because River died. When they were back on the log River asked if they were got lost from each other and Johnny said they would regroup on the moon and now she gone Johnny wants to regroup with her on the moon, but the Beta-Blocker unlinked the memory of the time on the log. However, Johnny still felt the need to go to moon, but didn't know why, he just knew from his heart he had to go.

[@muhammadshawal4841]

Its all make sense now... She started the behaviour after john told him something at the cliff then she realize that he forgot about their first encounter and and going to the moon . So she started to make rabbit origami , cuts her hair short for the short hair during their first encounter , does the multicolored rabbit asking to decribe it hoping john will remember but cant actually say aloud to him directly for her worsening condition . DAMN BETA BLOCKER GIVE ME SOME OF THAT COZ I SURE LIKE TO FORGET ABOUT THIS SAD STORY .. Q.Q

[@lastaeon174]

SHE DID succeed a little. John remembered about the moon promise partly, so he did fulfil it in a way

[@08zarasl]

OMG! She's all this time been trying to reconstruct his memories?!?

[@HughLlewellyn]

Ohhhh. I got goosebumps when he opened the bag to show River what was in it. I knew what it would be. And that's why she kept asking him what else about the origami rabbit. She wanted him to remember. All those years later. Wow. This game is so... wow.

[@folxnumeroso]

"Let's go confuse the neighbors" you little shits. I love it.

[@fr0z3nskull]

Just realized after watching it again, that Animorphs wasn't john's favorite book, it's Joey's. That's why he didn't really cared when his mom gave it to him on his wedding and why he can't remember what happened in it.

[@droidable]

That explains why she was so sad about leaving Anya! Anya was the star she befriended!

[@hellfrozenphoenix13]

Anya was how she felt...and she used it as a hint for John to go to the moon....her condition stopped her from saying it directly so she tried it through their childhood memories that got blocked by Beta Blockers...in short, she chose Anya over herself so John could fulfill his childhood dream...

[@roxgirl44]

OMG... You know throughout this entire walkthrough, I felt awkward cause I wasn't crying like some people was saying... But.. As soon an Little John said "Then we can always regroup to the moon, silly." The tears literally just gushed. I couldn't get why but... I'm crying!! Q___Q

[@janeheartfillia8945]

I didn't cry during that part or any part. I feel so out of place

[@roxgirl44]

It's okay if you don't. Not everyone expresses the exact same way. Just like not every one sees everything alike. :)

[@narutosonicxfan]

Rewatching this to prepare for the sequel...I don't think I'm ready....*tears start flowing* Nope, not ready cause I know the sequel is going to mess with my emotions more....

[@fenmc339]

me too! re-noticing all of the little details is making me unstable oh god :c

[@catbees]

AND THEN SHE ASKED HIM NOT TO FORGET AND THERES SO MUCH FEELS RIGHT NOW

[@Madzelqrow]

"Then we can always regroup on the moon, silly. Right on the rabbit's tummy" I have never cried so much during a videogame in my life.

[@progamerteim]

Omg 😢 same here

[@Reaper1722]

Dude, if that was my wife and she died as well. And then i found out that she wasn't really being distant, but rather trying to make you remember a special moment in your life. I can't even begin to describe how i'll feel.

[@YodragonWasTaken]

Well... By Bioshock Infinite standards, those stars are lighthouses. An infinite number, so yeah... (River must like, know, or something)

[@RevRun14]

So, the mom ran over Joey, and then drugged up Johnny to raise him as Joey, and possible buried Joey under Johnny's name or completed ditched him because she convinced herself that he was Johnny? That's wrong on so many levels.

[@Nyerguds]

Well, killing her own kid kinda broke her, yeah. Betcha she never sought counselling.

[@RevRun14]

Broke her? This seems more like it shattered her mind into a fine dust! More than likely she didn't; that would mean she would have to remember the fact she ran over Joey.

[@Nyerguds]

RevRun14 It was never specified that she gave him the beta blockers, though. Might've been under doctor's advice.

[@RevRun14]

Nyerguds True. I guess I should have thought about that.

[@pyrojack8230]

If you notice the names of all the acts are the main sentences said in River and John's talk.

[@TheNumnutRandomness]

*sees the part where he finds the rabbit in the sky* *sobs uncontrollably*

[@aurora5092]

OMG!!! In the future when River kept asking John, "What else?" about the origami rabbits she made, she was expecting his answer to be, "It's the Moon"!!!!!!! But then, u know, the beta blockers, stuff like that happened..... but in the far future... he wanted to go to the moon. That means John remembers 3% of the memory!!! ... ... ... *cries*

[@Acestorya3698]

John: Then we can always regroup on the moon, silly. Me: Is this strange fluid the one you call tears?

[@ph3rtehHDawg]

You know, I really do not like Johnny's mother after watching this. I mean, yeah, I feel bad that she lost her son and in such a way, too. However, the fact that she had Johnny forget his early childhood and then fashioned him to become the son she lost rather than appreciating her only remaining child makes me really upset.

[@aaronpost8338]

Poor River, she spent a good amount of her life trying to make Johnny remember their first encounter by making rabbits. And in the end, she died failing to do so...

[@aibi-tb8ir]

so you mean to say all his life johnny has been living as his brother since then in other words he's living as "joey" instead of "johnny" , and because of that he left a part of himself and forgot who he and river is including that promise ,and she didn't tell him for she wanted him to realise it

[@notmyactualrealname1360]

Yes, beta blockers are the shit, not the good one though.

[@a7xguitar666]

no im pretty sure johnny knows he is johnny but he doesnt remember joey in any way, shape, or form. he did forget the promise he made to river tho :(

[@FioreFire]

I was fine the whole way through this playthrough but then when she asked him to describe the rabbit I was practically sobbing

[@Rock_Lee_The_Handsome_Devil]

Good bye mascara, eyeliner, you where good friends. *Sniff *

[@Salfordio]

This is so well written. And so emotional, too. I'm close to weeping.

[@korohacker]

Johnny living a live based on a fake (or made-up) identity, and River being tormented by the memories that he was forced to forget, and not being able to remind him of it, no matter how hard she tried.... Now, I understand. And now I cry so hard for the both of them...

[@anonymoushutch]

22:23 i knew what it was at that moment, omg a platypus, she knew all this time but he couldnt remember ....so sad

[@DegenerateHour]

Holy crap, I cried. Seeing their first meeting made me so happy until I realized River is already dead and John is on the verge of dieing.

[@BeatriceGatta]

please tell me there's a platypus plushie somewhere to buy as game merchandise...

[@MomoToo]

I started to cry the moment I realized that River probably cut her hair, made the rabbits, and made Johnny discribe the paper rabbit she gave to him because she wanted him to remember the night they first met at the carnival because he didn't. The beta blockers most likely blocked out the memory but Johnny somehow remembered that he needed go to the moon.

[@strongpie6890]

Is this where the coloration of the last paper bunny is from? The body was yellow, like the moon, and the rest was blue like the sky?

[@lilywang7027]

That makes sense! It's these tiny details that make this game perfect!

[@quantifyfriendo]

When they saw the rabbit as the moon, and I realised... I couldn't stop crying. The tears were silent, but with every little gesture that stayed with Johnny and River, without him ever even realising... The tears fell faster. Thank you Cry. The game is astounding. I haven't felt this way in a long time, and I think I've been needing to. Thank you so much.

[@catbees]

When she said she thought they were lighthouses, I had to pause and take a break from the feels

[@xoriotrox]

I cried. I didn't cry at the last video, but this one I did. Everything came together, and it was emotionally overwhelming. Cry, thank you for this. This game is so beautiful.

[@MsButterfly822]

I knew he was gonna give her the platypus. I am in tears!!!!!!!! This is so cute/sad but happy. Just perfect!!!!!

[@emile7794]

Didn't cry last episode at all but this one... after every realization of the stuff like the platypus and the lighthouse and the rabbit... the tears were flowing continuously

[@rummique]

I'm being punched in the feels so hard right now.

[@eienhime4338]

samee, samesamesamesamesame!!!!!

[@blue_rosa_art]

Good lord this is probably one of the most touching stories i've seen. I was certainly getting a little teary eyed at many of the parts. Such a lovely story. and goes to show that it doesn't matter the medium in which its conveyed in, you can still do an amazing and touching story even if its with pixel graphics.

[@xavierxxcombo24]

I actually saw the bunny in this.. o.o I love having imagination D: I never wanna lose it!

[@Menneken01]

Oh man, the feels! this entire series has me choked up, but this episode especially had me shedding manly tears :')

[@danceingcrayon]

This part always makes me cry.

[@ShadowKnightSociety]

I really love how everything connects at the end of this. I almost cried at when they were looking at the stars together and then the tears started coming when he gave him the platypus and hackee sack and told River they would meet again ;-; BEST PART EVER.

[@fenmc339]

the colours of the rabbit :o

[@JerseyGirlBrittany]

It took me a bit but I finally cried. That last bit with Johnny and River was beautiful. So that's why he wants to go to the moon. Amazing game and great job, Cry!

[@LPSArtemis88888]

No, no, no, no, no. This made me cry so fucking much.

[@SomeoneBadAtGames]

This game has one of the most beautiful stories I've ever seen in my life. I was sobbing throughout the entire second half of the video. SO MANY FEELS!

[@madelinevlam2669]

I ship Neil and Eva

[@janeheartfillia8945]

You are not the only one ;)

[@madelinevlam2669]

yes!

[@mirichys]

/raises hand ME TOO.

[@riantran1338]

WHOA WHOA WHOA HOLD THE PHONE. THEY AREN'T TOGETHER?!

[@janeheartfillia8945]

nope, they're in DENIAL clearly :P

[@LavenderScar]

OH SHIT!! the tears man, they won't stop, I need a hug...so emotional

[@Chaosrunepownage]

That lighthouse quote is what life is like on the autism spectrum.

[@sierramclellan3883]

I tried to explain to my dad why River loved lighthouses so much, but I couldn't without getting emotional, and we had guests.

[@L00N101]

I AM DONE - The feels are too strong! This part is both heart warming yet really kills. It kills because John forgot River, leaving River having to go on remembering him.. Yet it's heart warming that despite having forgotten her, he still managed to find her again. ARGH I HATE AND LOVE THIS GAME GODDAMNIT#@*&

[@yuckysmucky]

This is so sad. Yet that moment between River and Johnny really touched my heart, and finally the pieces started falling together...DAMMIT THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. T^T

[@a7xguitar666]

MY FEELS. PLEASE JUST TAKE THEM ALL AND DO WHAT YOU WILL WITH THEM

[@Ulve124]

And the last years of Rivers life before she died knowing that he did not remember because he had his memory altered? she kept on making rabbits to try to make him remember.. In the end, she decided that he had forgotten.. I feel so sad for River.

[@iamddu]

I have lived in India my entire life and I haven't met a single person named John. So I guess it isn't that common, just depends on perspective :p

[@projectvodka7931]

...Johnny started reading Animorphs because of Joey. But he said that he "grew out of it" and started not reading it anymore, it was because his memory about Joey was erased. *sigh*

[@AliceHiraeth]

Oh, It's fucking fine. I didn't need my heart or my emotions or anything. Let there be a massive hole while I become emotionally-drained from this story line. Goddammit! River didn't deserve this! Fucking....Johnny didn't deserve this! NONE OF THEM FUCKING DESERVED THIS! RIVER JUST WANTED HIM TO REMEMBER AND JOHNNY WANTED TO JUST STAY WITH RIVER! FUCK THAT MOTHER! FUCK THOSE BETA BLOCKERS! I'M DONE! LET ME JUST GO CONSOLE MYSELF WITH FUNNY LATE NIGHT SHENANIGANS TILL MY PLAYLISTS PLAYS ALL THE THEME SONGS AGAIN! JUST....~exits via boat on river of tears~

[@Loudwerewolf]

This is me every time I watch this.

[@AliceHiraeth]

Any time "Everything's all right" pops up in my playlist, instant flashback and tears. I DON'T NEED TO START CRYING IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS.

[@Loudwerewolf]

I know that I shouldn't add these songs to my ipod because of that

[@weedgrass233]

So it is all starting to come together, once I peaced everything together I almost started getting misty-eyed. This game is amazing. Thanks Cry, for the adventure.

[@bincabinca]

Oh the feels! x.x

[@USSHOOT]

I have not cried since i lost my dog back in 3rd grade......this made me ball my eyes out so hard and cry's voice made it sound so sweet and made things worse :') thanks for an awesome commentary as always cry

[@knockoutroundabout]

I didn't ask for this. I didn't ask for any of this...

[@boxOhobo]

This game induced heavy sobbing from me. Literally bawling like a baby.

[@cheekymonster353]

Oh my :'( thats so emotional

[@Gingernutroast]

His final wish was to see River, but he would have the same personality as when he was a little boy and not when he was changed to be his brother...that's just so sad

[@Lemonadismdrew]

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS THAT STUPID PLATYPUS THAT ME AND NEIL LAUGH AT become a trigger of my niagara falls like WTFUQ omg I cry like an idiot , you know what , maybe bcs the asperger River just look like "meh" weird kid from different dimension but actually she is deep as f*ck , it's just not everyone can express their emotion with the same frequency with other people

[@kmbertagnolli]

No matter how many times I watch this I just cannot get over how beautiful the music and the story is

[@rawritsapples89]

right in the honeynut feelios.

[@joyjoven1528]

aww River feels like she is one of those lighthouses bec she remained an outcast no matter how hard she tries to "fit in":( and Johnny wants to be unique bec his mom always favoured his twin omg this is just so sad

[@janeheartfillia8945]

Am I the only one not crying?! Please tell me I aint the only one

[@Sofiaode18]

You're not the only one, buddy. I was like *getting teary eyed* *tries too hard to cry* *laughs*

[@janeheartfillia8945]

XD yay! I'm not alone!

[@raeofsunshine8106]

This is the most adorable, sad, and interesting game I think I have ever seen! Throughout the all of part ten I had goosebumps, it is just so sad that that is the way to get him to the moon!

[@assassinaterofassass]

Some bioshock infinite up in this bitch!

[@Goatuccino]

I love all the game plays you do, but I must say, this is by far, one of my favourites. It is truly, a beautiful game. c:

[@XPStormXP]

18:06 I know how River feels, my name is Enola adn most people make jokes about my name

[@eienhime4338]

your name is pretty cool, actually

[@XPStormXP]

thanx

[@samanthanicholson3661]

I always think it is quite nice being different in some way, your name is really pretty and those who make fun of it have no imagination :) btw since we are on the topic of names I just want to point out I find it quite amusing that the other person who replied to you is also called Samantha! lol!

[@fenmc339]

you're name is so pretty! i love names that are uncommon, it's unique (:

[@Mylesdesu]

I got made fun of because of name, too, since it's pronounced the same as "miles." Everyone spelled it wrong, too. Though can't blame them really, but still, gets annoying, you know? This one stupid group of boys would ask me, "Hey Myles, how many miles is it to your house?" I mean, what even. A few years back, though, a couple different girls linked it to "smiles." c:

[@Bottlenotefly]

Oh ... wow. Hurts - just a little bit. It's strange how one thing leads us to another. I had never heard of this game, or story, and now I am in love with it. Thank you, Cry.

[@a7xguitar666]

goddamnit stephanie meyers i hope you are fucking taking notes :'(

[@NaomiHansen64]

Congratulations! This is the second time you've actually made me cry, and now my throat hurts like hell. 8D

[@annasmileyfacee]

congratulations, cry. i am now completely in love with your voice. literally all i want to do is listen to you say things for the rest of my life while i cry in the corner wrapped in a metaphorical blanket of joy and love. bye.

[@AngryTrekkie]

Oh man, I had to fight back tears near the end there. Never has a game evoked such feelings from me. "It's just a game!" I tell myself... I'm going to cry in a corner now.

[@Green_Zero]

Why is this one of the best games I've ever seen, it's so good. I can't stop loving it.

[@hannahmcfly25]

I was welling up so much but I was smiling at the pieces coming together. I love this

[@birdlace]

Cry, your voice makes everything so much more emotional. I cried like crazy. :')

[@tomoose_art]

I'm gonna watch this again in 10 years time to see if I have the same reaction. (balling my eyes out)

[@safabekr]

Thomas Cooley you’re 1/3 of the way there!

[@ChaoticMonki]

@AnxtofDetheroc I had the same thought when it happened - it's truly bloody beautiful.

[@MithrilRoshi]

I swear you went into a even soft whisper with each ep that I watch, even the comedy parts XD

[@TetraShiva]

Wow... that's. Way more touching than I though it'd be. Can't believe a video game can make me teary eyed.

[@sunuraxi647]

I just finished watching all the parts in this series and this one, this one got me.

[@Cocobutterpanda]

so that's why she kept asking him to explain the rabbit. She was trying to see if he would remember the first day they met. That's depressing ;~;

[@Fuckyouallwhore]

I've been watching this series for a few hours and I'm out of tears. Damn this game Cry

[@abccba123321z]

Didn't really cry for this series until the cutscene with the moon started. Then I definitely teared up, oh gosh.

[@brookemulder]

T_T "One day... I'm going to befriend one of them!" I lost it. My pillow is now soaked.

[@INGLEBOP]

I can't believe I didn't figure out what the Prize was, Yet I am Glad I didn't figure it out before, when he said "thing" and pulled it out, I almost cried

[@coasterguy1000]

I started crying and... I am speechless when she tells about the moon and the rabbit, all this time River was trying to help John remember... omg...this needs to be a movie

[@MrCulmsee]

the last 10 minutes is the most sad thing ever. This story is just so amazing

[@miyuwithcherriesc.6178]

Omigawd... Those re the most touching group of audio and pixels that I've ever seen.

[@gusiruli]

I finally cried with this game and it hurts so good!!!! Dammit when I realized what River was doing with those rabbits and thought John could never remember it because of what happened to him when he was little.... And the freaking platypus! And the moon! *cries* Thanks for sharing Cry, I see you enjoyed the story (and Doctor Watts is the best hahah). We did too if the comments are anything to go by Onto the last two parts!

[@dvdsarescary]

I can't believe I lost my composure on a Playthrough of a video game on KZbin. thank you do much, Cry. :]

[@Blunka796]

It's seldom a story gets to me, and I didn't think a "simple" game like this would-- but here I am just pressing my hands to my face in utter lack of words. Just.. woah.

[@AllHailThaKing]

Beautiful once again.. it wouldn't be the same without you cry, i wanna say thanks once again.
