I’m a sucker for a story told well in video games but very few games have compelling or emotionally resonant narratives. Often, if there is a story it’s ripped apart by the cognitive dissonance of being all emotive one second then blasting a random person in the face in the next (any FPS to be honest), or killing lots of people while being a chirpy, quippy guy (Nathan Drake, Lara Croft etc) It’s an issue that games are trying to work through but whilst they are there are the occasional gems that come out that just nail the narrative and ‘To The Moon’ is one of them. I won’t spoil it but it had me near tears at its end. The game is beautiful to look at too so check out some of the screen captures I took from my play through.
