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.

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

Before I go, I wanted to leave you guys with an update on my backlog. We'll be picking up one of these games when I get back!

-sitting up in a cold sweat-

THE ACHIEVEMENT DESCRIPTION IS "Go to the beach with Neil (alone)" BECAUSE NEIL ISN'T ACTUALLY THERE AND EVA IS ALONE

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

[misstiramisssu]

When you’ve known someone for most of your life you know their usuals and little routines, be they good, bad, or ugly. Over the years, you adapt to these standards, compensating, covering, cooperating. Maybe you’re just perpetuating it? They might go away over time, just wait and see.

BEACH EPISODE LET'S GOOOO!!

Get hugged, you stupid owl

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....
