Pretty much everybody I knew in Paris has already gone back home, so I just played through this last night. I really enjoyed it. Has anybody else played it?

Where can I find it? And what is it? :)

I picked it up on Steam for something less than $3 I think. It's kind of hard to describe. The gameplay is extremely simple and you can't really die or fail or anything—it's mostly a sort of interactive storytelling device in the rpg/adventure vein. That being said, the story it tells is extremely compelling, and the game does an excellent job of getting you invested in the characters. The retro art style and lack of challenge will probably be a turn off to lots of people, but if you're looking to kill 3-4 hours on one of the best stories this side of Shawshank Redemption , I'd say pick it up.

To sum up, when I tweeted about it I said: Buy 'To The Moon'. You will laugh. You will cry. You will buy the soundtrack.

I haven't gotten around to playing it yet, but I'm subscribed to the soundtrack's creator on YouTube, and I love what I've heard of it.

The soundtrack really makes the story of the game. Just like with movies, good sound design and a good score isn't necessary to tell a good story, but it's a key ingredient in all of the great stories. I actually paid more for the soundtrack than the actual game so I could get it in FLAC.

Never heard of it, but I own ' To the Earth' on the NES. It's awful.

Sounds interesting.

Another game that I don't have time for will be added to the pile...
