I heard a lot of talk a while ago about this little game. I had an idea it was almost an interactive movie, but no, it really is a little game. Pretty simple. Easy to navigate. A few puzzles that are pretty self-explanatory.
It seems that two scientists are helping a patient achieve his lifelong wish: to go to the moon. To do so we are accessing his memories. We travel with him through time by finding objects and activating them through a simple game:
Puzzle Partly Solved
Another Puzzle Solved
So, there's more gameplay than I expected, but it's pretty easy.
Also, there is a hauntingly lovely melody that seems to have a prominent place in the patient's memories. I'm not going to recount the story, but it does seems to be quite sentimental. One doctor, our main character, has plenty of empathy, the other doesn't. Also, there are a couple of children involved. No doubt we'll learn how that came about as we go through the game.
To the Lighthouse?
So I'll continue! However, there seems to be a similar problem to the one I had with Fran Bow, although this time I can take screenshots. The artwork is extremely simple, even more so than in Fran Bow. I tried opening the game from my desktop shortcut icon, but it crashed fairly quickly. When I opened it directly from the Steam page it worked just fine.
I'm almost afraid to continue it today because I think I'm going to get caught up in the story and right now I have stuff to do. But I'll be back with it soon!
