To play "To the Moon" for the story is thinking in the right direction; it is indeed very engaging, humorous, tear-jerking, and just enough nods to classic 16-bit era games. The lack of more game mechanics beyond simple movement, interaction and one type of puzzle may be off-putting to more hardcore gamers, though. Bought it on Steam while it was on sale, no regrets. Would have been irked if I had payed full price…
This game took me back to the old days of RPG games, with an interesting twist of being the Item Shop owner instead of the main dungeon-delving hero. Still, with bargaining prices with customers, trying to get heroes to go dungeoneering with you to get more items to sell, and hoping you placed an item just right to attract new heroes (and possibly sell them something as permanent equipment), all meshed well together…
