The gateway to the mind, the self, who you are, what you believe in — the most complex structure in the universe, allegedly — is resting on your shoulders. I speak, of course, of the brain, that strange, wondrous organ that has given rise to many of our crown jewels as a species — science, philosophy, dreams.
Video games have a language all their own. It’s a language that most people understand implicitly — concepts like extra lives, levelling up, experience points and boss battles have gone mainstream. That language has begun to seep into other media as well — movies like The Matrix, Source Code, and books like Scott Pilgrim vs. The World all use the language of games to tell stories in fresh, interesting ways.

After seeing the original trailer back in August, I claimed that To The Moon would most likely break your heart. Now the game has actually been released, we’ll be able to test that theory.
It’s been a while since I’ve felt so affected by a video game trailer. It could be the concept – travelling through the memories of a dying man to fulfil his last wish – or it could be the execution, with an art style that plays with the nostalgic memories we’ve already created with numerous other 16-bit RPGs. Regardless, To the Moonlooks utterly heartbreaking, and I can’t wait to experience it.
