To The Moon is an Adventure Game/Visual Novel designed by Canadian Kan Gao (of Quintessence Game) and developed by Freebird Games. The OST, also by Gao, features Laura Shigihara.20 Minutes into the Future, Dr. Eva Rosalene and Dr. Neil Watts work for Sigmund Corporation, a company that is able to use technology to rewrite the memories of dying people to allow them to die happy, as a kind of for-profit Make a Wish foundation. The game unfolds as they attempt to fulfill the request of their latest client, Johnny Wyles. Johnny's in a coma, and his last wish is to go to the moon... Except he doesn't know why. As Neil and Eva work backwards through his memories, the game reaches its emotionally affective core as true intentions are revealed.The ending of the game confirmed that it was to be the first in a series, although the name of said series has yet to be revealed.A holiday-themed story named "SigCorp", the first of a series of "minisodes", was released in 2013, and details Neil and Eva's work life. The second commercial instalment in the series, named A Bird Story, was released on the 7th November 2014 for $4.99. Taking place before Neil and Eva's time, the game is an hour-long interactive narrative without any dialogue whatsoever, that focuses on a boy who will grow up to be their patient in the second episode of the series. The boy, who remains nameless in the story, comes from a Friendless Background, and lives mostly on his own, with his parents only leaving him notes on the door and fridge. One day, when walking home from school, he rescues a bird being chased by a badger, and begins to bond with it.A second minisode was released on the 18th February 2015. The minisodes are accessible in-game as free DLC.Episode 2, Finding Paradise, was released on December 14th, 2017. In this episode, Eva and Neil are tasked with helping a new patient named Colin Reeds. They are faced with the problem that Colin's final wish is not only vague in its wording, but also seems quite paradoxical in nature: he wants them to give him a life without regrets, yet change nothing at all.Episode X, Impostor Factory, was released on September 30th, 2021. The trailer can be viewed here. The story is somewhat unusual, starting out following a young man, Quincy Reynard, who finds himself invited to dinner party in a strange mansion deep in the forest, hosted by two enigmatic scientists, Dr. Warden Haynes and Dr Alise Yu. Quincy finds that the hosts, the house staff, and the other guests for that matter, are behaving rather weird and often speaking in riddles, and things soon escalate when Haynes and Yu are suddenly murdered by an unknown culprit. But what starts as a rather archetypical murder mystery, soon turns into something stranger, and is revealed to be connected to the previous games in the series in unexpected ways...An animated feature film adaptation is in the works, produced by Chinese company Ultron Event Horizon. The film will be a Chinese-Japanese International Coproduction, and Gao will have input in the film as a script editor/advisor. As of March 2024, no release date or trailer has been announced.While the film is in production, full-scale games will be put on the back-burner, but smaller projects will come out, including "Just a To The Moon Series Beach Episode", announced in August 2023, which likely follows on from the events of Impostor Factory.It should be mentioned that as a narrative-heavy series, the games are best experienced without spoilers. Read the spoilers below at your own risk.

Moon Rabbit: While signaled by the large number of origami rabbits, the rabbit itself makes a non-traditional appearance. Namely, Johnny and River see the clusters of stars above and below the moon as the rabbit's head and feet, and the moon itself as its body.

Darker and Edgier: First of all, gloomy music plays more often than in To the Moon. Considering this video game series is known for its awesome and heartwarming music, that's saying something. Whereas To the Moon had the patient whose family/caretaker's family were supportive of Eva and Neil's work, the patient's family in Finding Paradise are a bit... cold to them, at least at first, showing that Sigmund Corp employees may face disagreement from their patient's family sometimes, unlike what the first game might've wanted you to think. In To the Moon, Eva and Neil traveled backward through Johnny's memory quite well and the only problem was the repressed memory that prevented them from accessing Johnny's earlier childhood. In Finding Paradise, on the other hand, after viewing a handful of happy memories with Colin's family, Eva and Neil somehow leap to the earliest possible one of Colin's childhood, much to their shock as they thought they'd skipped his entire life. The gloomy music makes the situation sound even scarier. In some parts of Colin's memory, there's a suspicious-looking shadow person, seemingly watching Colin and his family ominously. It was Faye, who desperately wanted Colin to see her again for the last time before he died. Unlike To the Moon, only Neil temporarily leaves the patient's mind to do something else, meaning that Eva is left behind in Colin's mind. Sure enough, just like most Let's Split Up, Gang! scenarios, she later disappears and Neil has to desperately find her. Made even worse that this happened because the doctor just found out about Faye's true nature and she's really not happy about what the doctors intended to do to her. Finally, there is Faye's true nature. She's the patient's imaginary friend, but not only that. To someone who enters the patient's mind with Sigmund Corp's hi-tech machine, she's basically a Guardian Entity Humanoid Abomination because due to the nature of the Journey to the Center of the Mind, this makes her a Not-So-Imaginary Friend in the patient's Mental World.

Dream Melody: "For River" becomes one. Originally encountered as a tune on Johnny's piano in the real world, we later hear Johnny play it for River in a memory, and then, when his memories are changed, he still remembers it enough to play it for an audience of NASA workers.

The subsequent comic, "The Bestest Dancers", shows what happened after the in-game Epilogue: as much as Neil takes after his father's personality, he also inherited his mother's tendency to keep others at arms' length, with Eva finally convincing Neil to take a chance on a relationship with her.

Genre Shift: Colin is a noted fan of horror films, and this starts gradually influencing the overall tone of his memories, to the point where once Faye's true nature is revealed it overtly turns into a horror story with Faye as an Implacable Man. Neil even lampshades this:

No-Dialogue Episode: You won't see a word after you click "begin". Even the note the kid finds is obscured, and when characters speak the content is implied or represented by an icon in a speech bubble. And yet, somehow, the facial expressions and animations manage to perfectly convey emotions, and the story still manages to be as engaging as the last.

Childhood Friend Romance
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_1c8e096e
comment
Faye is revealed to have been the true driving force behind Colin's life passions (and in one particularly eyebrow-raising moment, is even revealed to be the true source behind Colin and Sofia's scale duet, which arouses Neil's suspicions). Despite this, Colin appears to have harbored zero romantic feelings for her, and they seem to drift apart in adulthood after Colin meets Sofia (Colin even having the audacity to ask Faye for dating advice to her face). Neil (and the player) are led to the initial conclusion that Colin's true regret is not choosing Faye over Sofia, which he couldn't articulate to his family for obvious reasons.

Ambiguous Situation
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: Whether or not the owner of the private airport where Colin trained to be a pilot is a mafia boss. Eva and Neil believed it's just an exaggeration of the memory. Keep in mind that it was Faye who first suggested that he might be a mafia, and Faye never even existed to begin with. When Neil goes to the car at night to find his painkiller pills, he meets... someone, who looks at him suspiciously while riding on a bike and their face is hidden under their helmet. Not too long after he noticed them, without even saying a word, they immediately leave on the bike, confusing him. While Neil makes a Bait-and-Switch Comment that he only paid attention to the mysterious person's Cool Bike, it raises a question of who the person was: Faye? The apartment manager? The bully girl? Or just a Red Herring? Adding to the confusion, someone wearing a motorcycle helmet (more correctly, their silhouette) appears in A Bird Story, riding in the elevator with the boy.

Chekhov's Gag
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_22cf50f9
comment
Chekhov's Gag: After witnessing the memory where Sofia comes to terms with Colin wanting to sign up with Sigmund Corp for their services, Neil jokes how she should also sign up with them to wish for a life where Colin never signed up with Sigmund Corp. At the end of the game, he is the one who proposes that in order to fulfill Colin's wish, Faye needs to remove him, Eva and the existence of Sigmund Corp from Colin's memory. This makes it appear to Colin like he never considered signing up in the first place.

Chekhov's Gun
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: At the very beginning of the game, Eva and Neil run over a squirrel as they arrive at Johnny's house. Later in the game, Eva and Neil find that they can't travel any farther into Johnny's memories because they were suppressed by beta blockers shortly after a traumatic event that took place in that scene. Incidentally, the smell of roadkill was present in the brief glimpse of said memory, so they were able to use the scent of the dead squirrel to get Johnny to remember the full scene. One that's referred to immediately before a Wham Line - Johnny had a bunk bed in his room, with the top bunk belonging to Joey. The bottle of pills that Eva tosses out of the car when she's looking for something to carry the roadkill with, along with Neil's urgent running off in that scene, turns out to be part of a Sequel Hook of sorts at the very end. Neil is ill, possibly dying, apparently needs to take those pills regularly, and he doesn't want Eva to know... When altering the memory, Eva once again disables Neil's controls, just as she had to force him to eat pickled olives.

Adaptation Expansion: The creator posted a "novelisation" of the first scene of the game on the Freebird blog which adds a few details, such as Neil preferring to go by Dr. Watts because it makes him sound like a Mad Scientist or super-villain, and recounts how he went as far as buying one-way mirror glasses to avoid meeting the gazes of nosy strangers.

The Un-Reveal: Quincy can notice A Glitch in the Matrix, namely that the angel statue on the mansion's garden fountain is present in Lynri's memory, but it seems to be missing in the most recent reconstruct. Quincy makes a note that he should ask Lynri about it. When the player actually gets the chance to ask her, choosing the option to ask the angel statue causes the simulation to glitch out for a moment, so Quincy never actually gets to ask.

Cruel to Be Kind: Eva appears to callously delete River from Johnny's memories to ensure that he remains motivated on becoming an astronaut. Instead, she simply sent her away so Johnny would continue to strive toward his goal, and trusted that Johnny's love for River would ensure he would subconsciously bring her back later. He did, they still got together in the end, and with the bonus of Joey still being alive as well.

Parental Abandonment: The kid comes home to an empty house every evening, finding only a note on the fridge, implying his parent or caretaker is never able to see him. There seems to be some affection there though as he gets an umbrella left out for him on rainy days and he keeps every note he finds. The closest interaction they have is when he falls asleep reading and finds someone has put a blanket over him while he sleeps.

Deadly Euphemism
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_2eb94abd
comment
The second mystery is what happened to Faye in Colin's later life. Eva posits the theory that Faye was killed in a plane crash sometime during Colin's adulthood, a theory that is given alarming weight by Colin cryptically telling Sofia he learnt to fly in order to find a friend who "went somewhere far away".

Recursive Reality: Act III reveals that The Lynri who created the player character's version of Quincy is herself a creation of a memory-based simulation, which itself is a simulated reality, and so on. To complicate things further, the various recursive realities are branched from the prime reality rather than a linear stack of realities. Incidentally, the prime reality's computer still has to simulate each of the nested recursive realities...

Malaproper: Quincy eventually asks Ricebot if the deaths of Dr. Yu and Dr. Haynes in the simluation have something to do with "Shroom Digger's Cat". Ricebot asks if he means "Schrödinger's Cat", and then adds that no, it doesn't have anything to do with it. Ironically enough, it can be said that the experiment is similar to the Schrödinger's Cat hypothesis, since the simulation requires Quincy to observe the two doctors in order to run the next iteration of the simulation.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Neil starts as a rather sarcastic guy who doesn't seem to take things seriously... until the end, when he is confronted with deleting River from Johnny's memories. He then shows how much he cares for Johnny and River's happiness, and is actually not so cynical. Eva appears to be an aloof killjoy who abuses her coworker (insulting him and forcing/tricking him into eating a foodstuff he hates), enjoys being cryptic to the point where she'd rather attack a man with computer-generated zombies than let him in on the full details of her plan, and takes a huge risk with her client's happiness in order to avoid a lawsuit... but when it looks like her secret plan failed and she really has erased River from Johnny's memories, she seems genuinely upset and apologises to Neil, and it's her idea to let Johnny's caretakers into his memories (implicitly against protocol) so they can see him happy before he dies.

Hidden Purpose Test: In their later life, after a cliffside talk where Johnny admits the truth behind their "first meeting", seemingly tainting its memory, River suddenly shows Johnny a hackysack, asking if he can throw it as far as he can off the cliff. Confused, Johnny throws the hackysack almost without thought, and a suddenly distressed River very nearly jumps off the cliff to chase it. River wasn't testing if Johnny could throw it, but if he would - the hackysack was Johnny's, which he had given to River at their actual first meeting in childhood along with her platypus plush, both of which she had kept as precious items for all her life. Johnny failing to recognise the hackysack and throwing it away like it was nothing told River that Johnny had truly forgotten their real first meeting, sparking her obsessions in old age.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_4a3e547f
comment
Leaning on the Fourth Wall In a similar scene to To the Moon, when the characters are in a plane, Neil reports that the view from there is amazing, and that he pities anyone who can't see it. Of course, with the angle for the player, the view is nonexistent. When Colin recounts the events of A Bird Story to Faye, he says that everyone he's told the story to found it either too long and boring or too saccharine. Faye responds by saying it can't be helped that the story didn't resonate with everyone and that different people will have interpretations of it, referencing the mixed reviews and opinions of A Bird Story when Finding Paradise was still in development.

On multiple occasions in Colin's later memories, the scientists spot a shadowed static figure (in the shape of a woman in a dress) watching him from afar, which are surprisingly unnerving moments for what seems to be the life of a simple family man. The theory is unspoken, but as more memories are revealed, the implication that Faye is stalking Colin in his later life, having not gotten over her childhood crush, cannot be easily overlooked - at least until the reveal clears things up.

The Un-Reveal
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_5a3b8032
comment
The Unreveal: The boss of Sigmund Corp finally makes an appearance. Unfortunately, it's only in Colin's memory, and Colin can't even remember his face. All we know is that the boss is male. This episode sadly doesn't explain the Nothing Is Scarier nature from the second minisode. (see above) The player never learns what Colin wrote with invisible ink in his seemingly-blank journal, despite the question being threaded throughout the game. The context implies it was intended for Sofia anyway.

Freeze-Frame Bonus
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_62f9d08e
comment
Freeze-Frame Bonus: Just as the screen fades completely to white after activating the first memento (Colin's contact with Sigmund), a mysterious figure quickly pops in just behind Colin. From later events in the story this is implied to be Faye, trying to stop Eva and Neil's mission before it even starts but showed up just one second too late. In the memory of the airport's closure, there are a few details that can be easily missed: When Neil and Eva draw the fake smile on Colin's face and discuss what to do with Faye, Faye herself drops some subtle hints in her body language to show that she is eavesdropping on their conversation, foreshadowing that she could see Neil and Eva all this time. When Neil re-enters Colin's mind after Roxie revealed that there was never any record about Faye's birth, death, or existence at all, look again at Faye's sprite. Not only does she keep caressing her hair despite the memory supposedly being frozen at the time, but she also occasionally watches Neil with hostility and is fixated on him no matter which direction he goes, further cementing the fact that she could see him and Eva all this time and thus she's overheard that they intended to remove her from Colin's memory. She also glares at Eva immediately after Eva told him that she's not real.

Always Save the Girl
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_64edb99c
comment
Always Save the Girl: Once you review Johnny's life chronologically, you'll find that nearly all his life seen from his memories revolves around River, starts from his teenage years to her death. And then it's revealed that they actually met for the first time when they're really small children, long before they even become teenagers. This is even more evident in the new memory where River was moved from Johnny's teenhood and he's still able to subconsciously call her back to his new memory. It's a wonder that Eva and Neil at first dismissed her as "not their client" until they realize how important she is to Johnny's life.

 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_653c5c73
comment
Cannot Spit It Out: When River realizes that John has forgotten about their first meeting, she tries reminding him. However, because of her condition, she is incapable of properly explaining the entire situation. This is the reason why she starts making the many paper rabbits. Eva seems to have a thing for being cryptic for its own sake (although, granted, so does Neil to a lesser extent, leading them to at one point have a conversation about Asperger's Syndrome where neither of them ever actually say "Asperger's"). It comes back to bite her at the climax when her failure to explain her full plan to Neil causes him to turn on her.

Let's Split Up, Gang!

Unlike To the Moon, only Neil temporarily leaves the patient's mind to do something else, meaning that Eva is left behind in Colin's mind. Sure enough, just like most Let's Split Up, Gang! scenarios, she later disappears and Neil has to desperately find her. Made even worse that this happened because the doctor just found out about Faye's true nature and she's really not happy about what the doctors intended to do to her.

Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_703b2f20

Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: From a symbolic perspective, Johnny and River. Johnny, the common guy who wants to stand out, has brown hair and brown eyes (the most common colours for those traits), while River, who hates standing out and wants to blend in, has red hair and green eyes (arguably the least common (natural) colours for those traits). This also applies to their clothes: Johnny tends to wear drab colours - typically browns, greys, and dark greens - while River prefers wearing brighter, more vibrant colours (blues, whites, and the occasional patch of yellow).

Delicate and Sickly: Deconstructed. Lynri has an incurable genetic disease that causes her to frequently pass out as a child. As she grows up, she pours everything into her research, which eventually plays a pivotal part in the development of the memory-transfer machines used throughout the game series. Instead of being "cute," Lynri grows colder and distances herself from the world in order to avoid getting attached to anything that could distract her from her illness-driven goal.

What Happened to the Mouse?: If you choose Neil to confront the bully at the start of the episode, you'll later run into Potato, who will thank you for getting rid of her. She'll then rather pointedly mention that "a woman in a brown dress" retrieved her teddy bear from the duck pond, all without even touching the water. This woman and this event are never explicitly brought up again. There's a decent chance this woman is supposed to be Faye, as she is always seen wearing a brown dress, but she doesn't exist outside of Colin's head and Neil's backup... which raises all sorts of other questions and seems to suggest this detail is a subtle Sequel Hook.

Up the Real Rabbit Hole: Inverted.

Rule of Symbolism
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism: All over the place... Much of it tied to River. She is heavily symbolically tied to lighthouses, spelled out by herself when she explains that she thinks that stars really are lighthouses that are trying to communicate with each other over vast distances, mirroring how she is trying to communicate with other people over the "distance" her condition imposes. Her favorite plushie that she carries with her her entire life is a platypus, an odd Mix-and-Match-ish Critter that doesn't seem to fit in anywhere with its duck bill, otter body and beaver tail, much like how she, herself, is the odd girl out with unusual hair and eye colours, a very unusual name and a condition that sets her apart from most people... The moments when she cannot be seen with her platypus close at hand is generally when she and John are connecting with each other. One of her favorite childhood stories is The Emperor's New Clothes, a tale about how only someone who does not understand social grace and guises can see that what everyone else for social reasons pretends is real is not so, which is especially poignant in light of how John and Isabelle are both faking who they are. John by having been Joey for the most part of his life and Isabelle by having acted like she's "normal", both of them having been at it for so long that they've forgotten who they really are.

You Keep Using That Word: In Act II, Potato says that Colin once "literally" beat up Amber for her. She then asks her mother if that's the right word, but she corrects her, saying that she meant "figuratively".

Lighthouse Point
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_94d0eb61
comment
Lighthouse Point: Johnny bought a house near a lighthouse, which makes River very happy, though Johnny doesn't know why. It's because when Johnny and River first met they discussed stars, and River believed they were lighthouses. River names their lighthouse Anya.

Finally, there is Faye's true nature. She's the patient's imaginary friend, but not only that. To someone who enters the patient's mind with Sigmund Corp's hi-tech machine, she's basically a Guardian Entity Humanoid Abomination because due to the nature of the Journey to the Center of the Mind, this makes her a Not-So-Imaginary Friend in the patient's Mental World.

Let Them Die Happy
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_9c73b5b2
comment
Let Them Die Happy: The point of Eva and Neil's mission is to rewrite Johnny's memories so he dies thinking he achieved his dream. Neil even explicitly says as much near the end. Zigzagged with River. Johnny attempts to lie to her so she can live, but she forces him to tell the truth and promised to use the money to build the house so he could see Anya so she can die happy. It initially appears this was doubly-subverted as it appears he broke the promise since he is not seen with any character named Anya in his later memories, but it's later revealed that Anya is the lighthouse.

Continuity Nod: The flow of time in the simulation works differently for Faye, so she tells Quincy and Lynri that for her, "time is a place". "Time is a Place" is the name of one of the theme songs from Finding Paradise. One of the scenes in a montage near the end shows Eva helping Neil cheat through his entrance exams for Sigmund Corp, which is also mentioned by Eva in To the Moon.

Forgotten First Meeting
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_a0774be0
comment
Additionally, River's obsession, is later implied to be the result of Johnny admitting that he had initially approached River out of a desire to appear special because on her "strange" personality, rather than out of genuine love, causing River to snap now that their first meeting was "tainted". While it is technically part of it, the real reason was because River realised Johnny had forgotten their actual first meeting, and spent the rest of her life trying to indirectly remind him of it.

Coming of Age Story
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_b1e8a3b3
comment
Coming of Age Story: Unlike Johnny whose life revolves around River, Colin's life is more like a coming-of-age story. His life starts with friendless childhood until he befriended Faye the girl across his balcony who was seemingly his childhood love interest. Faye apparently teaches him to play cello (which he hated at first) and encourages him to pursue his dream to become a pilot. They're drifted apart as they grew older and Colin met Sofia, the woman he married in the present day. Around the same time, the airport where Colin trained to be a pilot closes down and Colin mentioned that he has applied a job as airline pilot. Colin took his last flight to a cliff where he and Faye played music in their childhood.... where it's finally shown that Colin admitted that Faye is all in his head and he had to let her go. His adulthood only truly starts after he let her go and never sees her again until nearing his death after he lived his life with his wife and son.

Grass is Greener: The moral of this episode, as the ending shows that part of why Colin was dissatisfied with his life was simply because he thought he could change it. Colin's case was resolved by removing the existence of Sigmund Corp. from his memory, so that he wouldn't second-guess everything he'd done. The ending song all-but namedrops the trope.

Shout-Out
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The track "Double O Six Point Five", that plays as the secret underground laboratory under the mansion is revealed, is a Musical Pastiche of the James Bond theme, and refers to the superspy's codename 007 (Double-O-Seven). When Quincy goes to investigate the underground lab, Ricebot will tell him, "IT IS DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE. TAKE THIS!" and then pushes the Cat(?) over towards him. When Quincy investigates the underground lab, the Cat(?) suddenly starts flashing as a Musical Pastiche of the Evolution jingle from Pokémon, culimating in the Cat(?) turning into a stronger and scarier looking version of itself, with boxing gloves. Tobi's full name, Tobias Reynard, is a reference to Toby Fox. As explained in-universe by Quincy, the word "reynard" means "fox" (in French).

Self-Deprecation: Every time the name "To The Moon" or the song "For River" comes up in game they are given a gentle ribbing. The dreadful film Eva makes up is titled To The Moon and dismissed as pretentious by one viewer (saying it lacks a certain je ne sais quoi), and "For River" is described as an odd song using the same notes over and over.

Artistic License – Pharmacology
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_ca68d759
comment
Artistic License – Pharmacology: Some beta-blockers, especially propanolol, are indeed used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (although the treatment is still considered experimental), but they usually do not induce amnesia (what they do is more in the line of allowing someone to relive a traumatic memory without experiencing the trauma). That said, memory-loss is a rare but possible side-effect of beta-blockers; however, it's still a stretch that they were used in a deliberate and controlled way to cause the effect as the game implies.

Lame Pun Reaction: When Eva starts eating an apple, she mentions that her young nephew have a rather peculiar tradition with decorating the family Christmas tree with apples. When Niel is amused by this, Eva immediately realizes what is going to happen, and annoyed tells him not to say what she knows he is planning on. Neil still can't help himself, and asks her if that wouldn't make them "pineapples". Eva's reaction is stuff her apple in his mouth and grumble that she has lost her appetite.

I Just Want to Be Special
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_cb83d23b
comment
I Just Want to Be Special: Johnny. This is largely why Johnny becomes interested in River in the first place. At least, that is how he rationalizes his interest. This takes on new meaning after it's revealed that Johnny is actually a twin (read: a copy), and his twin brother, Joey, was always the favoured one by their mother. After Joey's death, his mother treated Johnny as though he was Joey, expecting him to act the same way, have the same tastes, and even calling him by Joey's name. Johnny wants to be special because he has never had the chance to be his own person.

After this, the final image before the credits roll is child!Johnny approaching child!River at the spot where they'd first met, albeit with a white background, and giving her the stuffed platypus. And given that this is long after Johnny had flatlined, it can be safely assumed to be this trope.

Red Herring
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_dbca2c99
comment
Red Herring: As with To The Moon, the player is initially led to reach certain not-so-savory conclusions about Colin and his cryptic wish from his initial memories, particularly regarding the existence of Colin's Childhood Friend Faye, who is completely absent in his later life with his wife Sofia. All of these are completely upended by The Reveal that Faye is actually Colin's Imaginary Friend, who willingly disappeared after Colin started getting his life together. Faye is revealed to have been the true driving force behind Colin's life passions (and in one particularly eyebrow-raising moment, is even revealed to be the true source behind Colin and Sofia's scale duet, which arouses Neil's suspicions). Despite this, Colin appears to have harbored zero romantic feelings for her, and they seem to drift apart in adulthood after Colin meets Sofia (Colin even having the audacity to ask Faye for dating advice to her face). Neil (and the player) are led to the initial conclusion that Colin's true regret is not choosing Faye over Sofia, which he couldn't articulate to his family for obvious reasons. The second mystery is what happened to Faye in Colin's later life. Eva posits the theory that Faye was killed in a plane crash sometime during Colin's adulthood, a theory that is given alarming weight by Colin cryptically telling Sofia he learnt to fly in order to find a friend who "went somewhere far away". On multiple occasions in Colin's later memories, the scientists spot a shadowed static figure (in the shape of a woman in a dress) watching him from afar, which are surprisingly unnerving moments for what seems to be the life of a simple family man. The theory is unspoken, but as more memories are revealed, the implication that Faye is stalking Colin in his later life, having not gotten over her childhood crush, cannot be easily overlooked - at least until the reveal clears things up.

Ship Tease: Played to the extreme here with the perfect reality created by Faye for Quincy and Lynri. In this reality, Neil ends up marrying Eva and even having a child with her. The subsequent comic, "The Bestest Dancers", shows what happened after the in-game Epilogue: as much as Neil takes after his father's personality, he also inherited his mother's tendency to keep others at arms' length, with Eva finally convincing Neil to take a chance on a relationship with her.

Animal Motifs: Colin has birds, as in A Bird Story.

It's implied Faye is the bird from A Bird Story, at least in Colin's mind, as indicated by her saying that he'd already said goodbye to her "a long, long time ago."

Exact Words: Johnny asked River to go watch a movie with him on their first date, and River interpreted it as watching the same movie, at the same time, in the same movie theater regardless of if they do it together.

Mix-and-Match Critters
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_f5eda11
comment
Her favorite plushie that she carries with her her entire life is a platypus, an odd Mix-and-Match-ish Critter that doesn't seem to fit in anywhere with its duck bill, otter body and beaver tail, much like how she, herself, is the odd girl out with unusual hair and eye colours, a very unusual name and a condition that sets her apart from most people... The moments when she cannot be seen with her platypus close at hand is generally when she and John are connecting with each other.

Together in Death
 To the Moon (Video Game) / int_f6624c30
comment
Together in Death: In a sense; the very last memory Johnny has is of himself and River heading for the Moon. They turn to each other and hold hands, and then Johnny flatlines. After this, the final image before the credits roll is child!Johnny approaching child!River at the spot where they'd first met, albeit with a white background, and giving her the stuffed platypus. And given that this is long after Johnny had flatlined, it can be safely assumed to be this trope.

High-School Sweethearts: Johnny and River, in the game's reality. Eva forcibly removes River from Johnny's high school memories, only for her to return in his young adulthood.

Cool Big Sis: Eva's big sis, Traci. It's her idea to host a dinner together with Eva, Lily and her children, Dr. Winters (one of Sigmund Corp scientists) so Neil won't be left staying alone in the building.

Dark Secret: Neil appears to be hiding something for himself. He calls someone with his cellphone, but he doesn't talk at all despite whoever he called keeps calling on him. It appears to be his family. Neil has another one, after Eva and other scientists of Sigmund left the building, he's trying to use the memory machine, which he secretly hides in his office, for an unknown reason. Eva is definitely doing something suspicious too, given at the very end, it is implied that the whole episode is a memory that she has altered.

You Shouldn't Know This Already

comment
You Shouldn't Know This Already: At one point, you are asked what David's main morph was in Animorphs, and you can speak to a character nearby to get the right answer. This is simple enough, but it becomes a problem if the player is familiar with the books and knows the answer because the game gets it wrong. The expected answer is a cobra, but David's actual main battle morph is a lion. Marco is the only one who ever morphed into a cobra (although incidentally he acquired the morph from David's pet cobra). This was likely changed to keep people from solving the puzzle too early. This is lampshaded by River, who tells Johnny that he could have just Googled the answer instead of asking her. Later, it turns out that Johnny was never a huge fan of the books to begin with, and it was actually originally Joey who was the fan, meaning the discrepancy likely comes from the fact Johnny never knew the series well enough to have the correct information in his memories.
