To The Moon by Freebird Games is our topic this week. When it came out in 2011 this game was hailed as a triumph of video game storytelling. Using the visual language of 90s RPGs, To The Moon tells the story of a pair of scientists investigating and altering the memories of a dying man to retroactively fulfill his life’s wish: to go to the moon.

To The Moon is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux through Steam and The Humble Store for $9.99. Expect it to take about 4 hours to complete.
