To the Moon 2011

Is it still worth playing?

Freebird Games' 2011 role playing adventure built in RPG Maker XP, in which two doctors offer to fulfill a dying man's last wish using artificial memories. You control the two doctors as they work through the man's memories in a 16 bit style 2D world. There is no battle system, apart from a joke battle near the beginning, and no inventory or party system. It is mostly story driven, with puzzle solving and interpreting information from the man's life: you explore memories to find significant objects and collect energy from them to strengthen each memory and connect to others. Connecting objects that appear in two memories lets you move freely between them, and once connected you can change characters, objects and events. With no combat and no inventory, the puzzles are about what you notice in the memories, so the story keeps your attention today.
