To the Moon
Freebird Games | Released Oct 31, 2011
To the Moon is an RPG/adventure game about two doctors traversing backwards through a dying man's memories, in order to fulfill his last wish of going to the moon. *** Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts have rather peculiar jobs: They give people another chance to live, all in their head. But due to the severity of the operation, the new life becomes the last thing the patients remember before drawing their last breath. This story follows their attempt to fulfill the dream of an elderly man, Johnny. With each step back in time, a new fragment of Johnny's past is revealed. As the two doctors piece together the puzzled events that spanned a life time, they seek to find out just why the frail old man chose his dying wish to be what it is. And Johnny's last wish is, of course... to go to the moon. [The game is an unconventional RPG/adventure game hybrid with no battles/grinding. Game-play consists of acquiring mementos to travel through memories via various means.]

"Thanks" for starting the demo with a squirrel killed by a car and the lack of empathy of the people - didn't remind my of my own cat killed in that way... Not nice.
korean version please!!!!!!
i like the back story
When i finished the game, I walked outside, and said to myself,
"Wow, that was f*cking satisfying. May I have another?"
I only was able to play 5 min. from the demo :( I don't know what happen
I have the feeling Johny likes MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMbananas. More ontopic, great concept!
Just out of curiosity, will there be a chance for Linux support in the future? I mean, if your willing to attempt to port the code that is.
I love the game! The story was deep for anyone's understanding if played for only once. It took me another game to answer questions I had in my mind. Thank you very much Reives :) Merry Christmas!
I just checked wiki gaming's "25 most overlooked games of 2011" and this was on the list.
