Steam review snapshots
Take this for what it is, a walking simulator with minimal gameplay features and a slow-burn start…that has no right to be…Now, almost 15 years after it came out, To The Moon made me cry.The art matches the story; it always surprises me how pixel art can show a character's emotions so well.The colours remind me of autumn, and everything feels very atmospheric.Why it fits

Who might skip it
