Finding paradise: great foreshadowing and suspense building.

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!

I have some questions about the game ending

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

Is impostor factory the last part of the story?

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.

Some fanart my friend in highschool made for me back in 2012

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.

Everything Everywhere All At Once Rosawatts

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

Just Finished this game - emotional damage x1000

This isn't just a game it's a masterpiece in storytelling.
I was in tears during the ending. It truly is one of the best love stories ever made.

Will there be a continuation to Impostor Factory?

I read that the final two games will be To The Moon Beach Episode and The Last Hour of an Epic RPG. Is that true?

Help! Am I high?

The first time I played Finding Paradise during the character customization scene, I gave Eva only the chopsticks bun and maybe the cucumber socks?? and I could've SWORN Neil said something like "huh. That's actually kind of cute."

But for the life of me, I've never seen this again or seen any evidence that this actually exists/existed. I've also not tried out all the different combinations of the hairstyle with different socks so maybe that's a factor? Like it only comes up with one combo?

Am I high? Did I totally just hallucinate this memory of the game? Does anyone else remember or encounter this?

[spoiler] story question

why does Neil leave the mansion briefly when Rosalene goes to fetch some of roadkill? Where did he go? Might have missed that part if it's already been revealed in the game.
