first draft

"I wanted to build you a garden."

"...Just a while longer, okay?"

I don’t know what’s real If an ending is ever good enough Maybe it never is Maybe it never was —  World in a Memory

ttm beach episode spoilers below!

something about how the game lets you decide when to end it all and come back to reality. press esc to leave. how it would be up to eva how long she'd stay there on that beach, but knowing she could never remain there forever. just a little while longer. something about how it greets you with the same image if you decide to open it again. the truth is, i never actually felt that way. do you begin the cycle again or do you find comfort in that temporary ending? and i just can't get past that it's the one i didn't want.

something about how player's actions represent eva coming back to the machine searching for closure. did she find it? will she? will we?

while it was only my first (of many) playthroughs, i think the way the game portrays dealing with grief is really heartwrenching and beautiful in how real but fleeting it all is.

Rewatching Finding Paradise after the Beach Episode has been something alright....

really something....

[noneaazures]

I need to remind myself about these games from time to time

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

I know this is supposed to be a cool memento for the series but putting Neil and Eva in a “memory globe” is making me nervous. What does it mean. Does it mean anything. Kan Gao is this a hint or am I overthinking this.

[thisisworsethanitlookslike]

There is simply no way around crying while playing a To The Moon Series Game.

[technicalbites]

The reason as to why I can't and will never be happy, content or satisfied is because Eva Rosalene and Neil Watts exist

THINKING ABOUT THEM.........

[stoatallybored]

This is my entry for the To the Moon Memories Kickstarter draw! As usual I decided to draw scenes from Finding Paradise and A Bird Story, but I put some references to the other games in there too!

Freebird Games are making a cool "Bestest Memories" card game, as well as lots of nice merch, and every support tier gives you the opportunity to bury a message to be found in the next game!

beach episode spoilers below cut a collection of random thoughts :]

kudos to roxie and rob for being great friends to eva, reaching out to her and taking her on that vacation. we don't know who was calling eva in the starting screen but it was probably one of them or members of her family. it could have also been quincy! i've been thinking how they could help each other out while grieving :( i'm glad she has people she can count on in her life

also i really like that the beach episode gave us more roxie and rob moments, showing us more of their characters!! i love that they got more chances to be goofy <3 rob especially since in previous games, when he had lines of dialogue he was stoic and serious, and here we get to see that he matches roxie's freak kshfskfhskj

im wondering if eva left her job at sigmund after neil's death, since she'd had to get a new partner. plus this whole thing going down would definitely change how she feels about her job... i wonder if she ever briefly considered signing up with sigmund for a life where neil lived.

and last but not least: what the hell did angus mean by "... who's still alive, that is..." what is the fate of sigcorp

and i gotta say, while im a tinyyyyy bit disappointed over there not being a lot of new music tracks in the game, i really enjoyed hearing music from the previous games. and the title theme GOES HARD

thank you for reading this assortment of thoughts

[one-strugling-bean]

Sincerely hope that the beach episode is the bad ending, Mr Kan Gao and Freebird Team....
