Players explore locations from Johnny's past, examine important objects and solve the occasional puzzle. There's virtually no combat in To the Moon. Instead, the game is driven almost entirely by its story, which revolves around the mystery behind Johnny's wish. The atmosphere is dark and melancholic, although the two doctors occasionally lighten the mood with their playful humor.
Since its release around 15 years ago, To the Moon has accumulated more than 85,000 Steam reviews, with an impressive 96% positive rating. Players particularly appreciate the presentation, believable characters, emotional moments and unconventional storytelling. After all, the story unfolds in reverse chronological order. However, the gameplay itself offers relatively little variety.
