What an unexpected and strange release. Though To the Moon is still an incredible experience. It's what any RPG Maker tinkerer dreams of releasing one of these days. I should really replay the game. Haven't played it since its original release in 2011.

This was a wonderful little experience.
WOOO!!!
To the Moon is an awesome little narrative. One of the games that reminded me that there's room to feel feelings in games. And the main theme song (I think performed by Laura Shigihara?) is one of my favorite pieces of music to come from a game.
I still get hit hard from just the trailer.
This game gave me my first real experience of melancholy. A sort of bittersweet sadness, born of what was and what could have been.
