I’m so excited for the Beach Episode! But it’s been a number of years since I’ve played any of the other To The Moon games or minisodes, so some of the details elude me and unfortunately I don’t have time to replay everything. Does anyone know of a good written or video recap of the series so far to catch up before the Beach episode?

Given that Just a To the Moon Series Beach Episode is one of the conclusions to the series (with the other being The Last Hour of an Epic To the Moon RPG), is anyone else planning to go through the entire series again? If so, what parts are you most excited for?

Personally, I'm excited for (Finding Paradise and Impostor Factory spoilers) >!everything involving Faye!<. Knowing what we learned in Impostor Factory, I am very intrigued to see how >!she ties in with Neil's story!<. Considering this is also supposed to be a conclusion of sorts, I'm particularly nervous about what might happen to some main characters, especially >!Neil and Eva!<. Kan Gao and team, I swear that if you do anything to them I'll never recover emotionally. Please be kind! :'('''''''''''''''

jk i know we're never safe from heartbreak with these games lol

As a side note, does anyone know the recommended way to integrate the comics into the play order? I know that the community's generally accepted order is TtM, the minisodes, A Bird Story, FP, IF, and then JaTtMSBE ^((what an acronym!)) but for this playthrough I would also like to read the comics, since I haven't really touched those before. Does anyone know what to read and when?

Finally!

Kan Gao on X

Hello, i bought the soundtrack of To The Moon, steam say "in library" but the audio files are missing, i got also his other games soundtrack and other games work fine, in fact for other games i can find soundtrack files in the game directory.

is there some official way to report this?

i tried to write to the kan assistence email given by steam but i got ignored...

Hi! No one probably knows to answer to this lol, but I'm giving it a shot!

This is gonna sound like a very weird question, but I'm looking for a female streamer who played this game years ago now. They start crying when River said the 'yes, what else?' line during the moon scene before Johnny forgot everything. She cries for like 5 minutes before continuing, and the lighthouse reveal happen, and she bawls for a good minute again. Same thing happens during the platypus and hackysack reveal and the 'let's regorup on the moon' line. I remember watching it a few years ago, but I can't seem to it now.

I vaguely remember her Twitch name. Empress something? Lich? Queen? I should've probably bookmarked her gameplay somewhere lol. I think I remember her saying the game just keeps on stabbing you during that scene and it doesn't stop. I loved watching her playthrough. It suddenly popped up in my mind again, but now I can't find it.

Edit: By 'years ago now' I mean like almost a decade ago. She played on Twitch and I don't even think they had gifted subs yet during the time. It probably is hidden or archived now, so I don't expect anyone to answer this, but in case someone knows, let me know!

Why did neil go "feed his virtual pet"? Is this explained in another game?

Yeah its in the title, game freezes when speaking to someone but I can still hear the audio and the game is flicking between options too in the audio and I can click them and all, and then the game stops freezing, but id love to know what my options are lol. Can anyone help out here?

Yesterday I played the 3rd game of the To The Moon series, Impostor Factory. It moved me in ways I did not imagine, and I feel like I need to share my feelings with someone, and I figured this sub is a good place even if the sub is not very active.

I did not shed a tear during To The Moon and Finding Paradise, which I played a couple of months ago.

Mind you, these were very touching stories and experiences, but I did not cry. Perhaps the themes touched me less. Perhaps my mental state prevented me from connecting with these stories. I have been taking antidepressants since March 2022, and have been feeling emotionally flat since then. I have(had?) difficulties feeling strong emotions - that were not panic attacks and depressed feelings - this past year, and it's been difficult, it's been weighting me down a lot. I just didn't care enough about anything, and couldn't feel anything. Because of this, I started tapering off my meds (not even two weeks ago) with the goal of stopping next month (psychologist is okay with this, I do feel better in general, I'm not recklessly stopping medication), so I'm on a very low dose right now compared to what I've been taking.

I cried during Impostor Factory. I cried and I cried and I cried. I did not stop crying during the entirety of Act II. I cried during the reveal of the real timeline in Act III. I cried during the "perfect timeline". I just cried so hard.

Everything touched me. Lynri's illness that shaped her early life. The special relationship with Quincy. The moment where she allowed herself to be happy with him. The joy of the pregnancy and preparing the future of the child. The choice between Lynri's life and her child. The short life and funeral of Tobias in the simulation. When Lynri shut herself off after the death of her son. The fact that she choose her son's life in the real timeline. The happy childhood of Neil before the death of his mother. The perfect timeline where Quincy and Lynri both raise a healthy Neil, who finds the love of his life in Eva. (I have been a heavy "RosaWatts" shipper since the very first line of dialogue in To The Moon)

The fact that the real Neil had been watching this since the beginning.

I just... Cried... So much...

Thank you Impostor Factory for making me feel emotions so strongly. It had been a while since I was that emotional, and it means a lot to me. I missed it. Crying reminds me I'm still human, in some ways.

I also instantly read "the bestest dancers" comic afterwards, and loved it as well.

Tl;dr: I liked the game 👍 11/10 would cry again

If anyone could give some knowledge from their attempts, that would be appreciated.

The actual finding paradise sub is dead, so I'll just post here.

Spoilers...

So far, the two games all have some horror element at the climax. For to the moon it's the weird zombies and messed up memory.

For finding paradise, I think the suspense building was a lot better.

The communication cutouts with eva, winter reporting the feya isn't real (a big shocker for me), and all the other clues going on like the book and Neil's problem, were well executed.

Throughout the entire memory traversal, we wonder the connection between Sofia and feya, the odd moments, and the one time where we question how Sofia knows the exact accompaniment that feya played. All these mysteries get solved at once.

The aftermath of the horror is a bit silly, but I'm easily spooked, and I appreciate the laughs. I think ken just wanted the player to relax.

I haven't played imposter factory, but I know it's about Neil, and I'm sure it'll address some clues in finding paradise like Neil's problem.

Great stories so far!

so yesterday I finished the game and I really liked but... in the last portion of the game there were a lot of things I didn't understand and that fumbled some emotional impact of scenes that should have affected me more, and is basically all around river's "erasure"

-how does not meeting river later make is brother live? or viceversa

-how does not meeting river later make him want to become an astronaut?

basically... what was the point in taking her out of the picture? was so that after a lot of time he would meet her again to fulfill his promise when they were kids?

and also neils got scared about this idea because he thought that river was actually going to be fullly erased, and since we see the part of the game from his perspective that makes the scene of river coming back a lot more impactful but, what is his interpretation of that? he thought that by doing this while john might be able to reach the moon is not worth it since he doesn't meet the love of live

I don't think I made myself really clear especially in the last question but i really appreciate the explanations

Hi. I just finished to the moon. Is there a recommended order of playing the other games? Or should i just play them according to their release dates..? Thanks.

Will impostor factory be the last part of the to the moon series? I can't find any info online so I hope someone here might be able to answer this for me. Thanks in advance.

Also, please no spoilers in the comments I only just started impostor factory.

I adored To The Moon as a kid. My friend even drew some fan art of River and Johnny.

I just found out two “sequals” released. I’m so excited. Really hoping for some more Laura Shigihara. Love her song in the To the Moon ost.

Here’s the fanart he made btw. Sorry for the rough quality. I’ve had this since my freshman year of high school.

I recently watched Everything Everywhere All At Once and Waymond gave me Neil vibes, so I did a screencap redraw Rosawatts style
