[@Jayzamine]

For me, when there is a story, that's all I will see it as, a story. It doesn't matter whether it's conveyed through a projector, screen or paper. There is a lot to be learned from other people, to dismiss it as trivial would be ignorant.

[@frandovian]

[@spaghetticode1622]

Stop using the word masterpiece, it's fucking overused and this game is overrated.

[@Zachfoss]

honestly this is better than Hollywood romantic movies. Like beyond it.

[@renation89]

***** it takes much time due to the gameplay. to adapt this game into a movie, the production team must play and enjoy the game first to get the essence

[@macfly6237]

Actually if you cut out some of the less important scenes and increase the running time of the movie you could end up with an academy winning master piece.

[@boru1982]

***** That's not much to shout about in fairness. I've had dumps that were more romantic than the mindless unemotional detached tosh that comes out of Hollywood.

[@Ventus_S]

Hollywood is for action movie only. All the love-movie on Hollywood suck bulls.

[@boru1982]

Ventus S To be honest, they can't do action either. They can't understand the concept of theme or character building or the notion of subtlety.

To the Moon is what you would get if you played the beginning of _Up_ backwards and had it directed with all the heart of Studio Ghibli. I don't think I've ever been so emotionally affected by a story in my life. I don't know why I came back here to watch this, but I'm fucking crying again :')

[@cosmiclemon77]

I have not ever played To the Moon but if you want another emotional story you should try Undertale. It has a very good story that the player can change. In the True Pacifist ending I cried at the end.

[@imaloony8]

I've always considered myself a connoisseur of story in video games. Don't get me wrong, I like gameplay too, see Fallout 3, Borderlands 1, Rogue Legacy, ect. I've always felt that a game with a compelling story will end up being one of my favorites and can help me overlook shortcomings elsewhere, see Dragon Age: Origins, with mediocre combat and one of the best stories in a game I've played. However, this little 2-3 hour game? Blows every other story in a game I've seen out of the water. It is literally the only piece of media that had ever made me cry. Not to say others haven't touched me, but I'm not easy to make cry, and you did it. This is an utter masterpiece of a game and if you have any doubts about playing it, push them aside. This is a story of a generation and everyone should play it. Ken Gao, my hat's off to you. You are a masterful writer and designer, and you've made a masterpiece. I can't wait to see A Bird Story and what's next for this series beyond that.

[@xXJeReMiAhXx99]

considering playing it, it looks depressing tho?

[@imaloony8]

xXJeReMiAhXx99 I wouldn't call it depressing (Like say watching Gantz or Deadman Wonderland is depressing), but it's a sad story, and it's touching too. Trust me, it's worth playing.

[@rogeriopenna9014]

THE ONLY piece of media that you ever cried to? Gee, I cry everytime the ape throws the bone into the air and it becomes an orbiting satellite, showing 5 million years of evolution in a single cut, in the movie 2001.

[@thunderbosz]

Play spec ops the line it will blow your mind away with its amazing story btw 18+ lots and lots of violent

[@imaloony8]

thunderbosz I can handle a bit of violence. After all, I'm one of those guys who immediately grabs the Bloody Mess perk in Fallout. Yes, I heard Spec Ops: The Line had a very good story (getting a very surprising glowing review from Zero Punctuation), I just never got around to playing it. One of these days I'll crowbar it into my library.

I am playing video games since the mid-80s. I played them all. All the genres, all the exciting games, all the high polished expensive masterpieces. Hundreds and hundreds of games… This one stood out. By far. It’s the pinnacle of them all. I am so thankful to be allowed to experience it. The game helped me to put my life in perspective. How lucky I am. How precious life is. How fast it can all go by. How I should enjoy every minute of it. Since that day I finished this game the song ‘For River’ is my alarm clock ring tone. And it will be played on my funeral…

[@satsunami42]

I just want to mirror what so many others are saying and say thank you for making such an incredible game. Years ago I got this in a Humble Bundle and told myself I would play it. Then a few weeks ago while I was ill I told myself I would play it and my God, I was absolutely taken aback by how amazing an experience this was. So much so that I immediately bought Finding Paradise and yes, I sobbed heavily at that too. My only regret is that I never played it sooner but it will forever be one of my favourite games of all time. Fantastic work!

[@Loreweaver]

I just want to chime in that as an autistic man I related to River incredibly much and in wonderful ways, to get to see myself reflected in the game was amazing. The game moved me to tears several times (including the entire final third of the game, I was sobbing live on stream). Thank you so much for this game.

With "To the Moon" not only have you given all those who experience it an auspiciously beautiful tale, but you have also given the Video Game medium its undeniable champion in its desire to be considered as art. "To the Moon" is the medium's River, pulling it towards the stars and beyond. Thank you Kan Gao.

As someone who is on the spectrum the first f few years of my life were hard. Just like River I was shunned for being different and weird. All I wanted was to be normal and have friends. But then in third grade my life changed. My teacher, Ms. Dodds, accepted me for who I was. Ever since then my life has just been getting better and better. I’ll be graduating high school next year and playing this game has helped me that I owe all my successes to the people around me. My parents, my teachers, my friends. To all the Johnnys out there. To everyone who helped spread awareness about my differences, like the development team of To The Moon. Thank you kan
