A game that will take you way over the moon.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/to_the_moon]To The Moon, a beautiful story filled with humor, love, sadness, and joy, is available right now on GOG.com for $8.99--that’s 10% off until Tuesday, July 17 at 6:59 EDT.

To The Moon is about two scientists, Dr. Eva Rosalene and Dr. Neil Watts, who can alter a person’s memories. An old dying man named Johnny hires them to change his life, but only in his memory, and allow him to experience a final moment of happiness and accomplishment before he dies. Johnny wants to go to the moon. Eva and Neil need to go through his memories, plant a dream early in John’s childhood, and help him become an astronaut. They will explore his life, the stories of his friends and family, all intertwined in a rich and thought-provoking narrative.

In theory, To The Moon is a game, but it’s more of an experience, a unique story presented through our favorite medium. The game is not technically impressive, it doesn’t offer any new and cool visual bells and whistles, it is, however, beautiful and touching regardless of your age, gender, favorite genre, gaming skills, or sensitivity. This is a game for everyone who can appreciate fantastic storytelling, for everyone who misses 2D jRPG-style graphics, for everyone who loves adventures or indie games, and, finally, for everyone who wishes for a quiet time off--sinking into a game and getting out of this world.

To The Moon is a special, emotionally-charged title, that proves there are some areas that gaming as art has yet to explore. Get it now 10% off on GOG.com for $8.99 and you’ll be glad you did.
I was so hoping this would come to GOG.... Wishlisted

themomentgood: I have been eyeing this one for awhile, but I have not yet heard anyone describe the actual gameplay. I am assuming you have the ability to move the character around, but thats about all I know. Can someone who has played it elaborate?
There should be a demo on the official site. http://freebirdgames.com/to_the_moon/
One of the best games I've played last year. Wonderful experience.

basically you walk around with your character(s), examine various items (all connected to the main story somehow), there's a "puzzle" at the end of each "section" (there are about 15?), but most of the time you talk to other people or you listen to them... but it's so well written you won't be skipping dialogues, I promise :)
Sounds like a game that I'll get one of these days... Then BANG, ZOOM!! Straight to the moon! Right in the kisser.
This is a great release. Even though I live outside the USA, Canada or the UK -areas with Onlive coverage- I was fully able to enjoy the 30 minute trial of this wonderful game. Thanks Onlive, IGF Nominees and now GOG for providing such a great experience. Too bad the game is not available for Onlive gamers to enjoy.
YES!!! (Buying)

It should run on almost any computer from the last five or so years, so I would imagine that running it native wouldn't be an issue? I agree with you about OnLive, though, I would definitely like to see more and more developers support that platform.
I've seen the game somewhere before and noticed the RPG maker graphics. The story is probably too emotional for me. I think if I feel like it, I'll watch a walkthrough of it.

cymrean: Fly me To the Moon and let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.

^ The title reminds me of the song.
And that song reminds me of Neon Genesis Evangelion .
Hmmm, I'd been eyeing this on Desura but it's cheaper and more DRM-free here.
Unexpected, a very nice release as I heard good things about this game. Wishlisted. :)
Nice! Already bought it a second ago.

We really like da moon!
Might pick this up at some point. Keep hearing nothing but praise for this, but I have such a huge backlog at present that buying anything new that's not ridiculously marked down is just ridiculous.

Thank you very much gog. I discovered this game not so very long ago and was thinking of buying it on the freebird games site. It's a nice addition to your catalog.
