what's so interesting to me about it is that the machine version of neil isn't just eva's perception of him like we've seen with characters before, like river being seen only through john's memories. this version of neil is also his own memories, he put himself in there as complete as possible, and eva only added to it with her own perception. it's a ship of theseus situation. how much is he still himself? is it unfair to the real neil if eva continues to just... live in the memories, or create new, simulated memories with this copy of him?

obviously it's not healthy to live in a fantasy but is it still a fantasy? how 'alive' are the people in this machine? if you believe you're real, are you? if you don't believe you're real, does that make it true? who or what decides what is or isn't real?

and because he's still neil, he can't ever accept it, he pushes her away even now, because he knows she should move on... but he still built the machine. could he ever just accept the fact he was close to someone and loved her and no matter how hard he tried to keep her from getting hurt she still misses him dearly when he's gone and he still longs for connection even when he feels he shouldn't reach out. the time they had together would never be enough, and could this ever truly make up for it? should it? it's such a fascinating conundrum.

"You've been coming in here too often." "Maybe I wouldn't need to if you would just be here! You were distant when you were alive, you're distant even when you're dead. If you'd only-" "Oh. So…Really dead, huh? Really really dead?" "Sorry." "No, I mean…Of course I'm dead. That's why, you know…all this. But it's just…strange hearing you say it out loud. I guess we just never really talked like this here since then."

To the Moon Beach Episode will launch on September 20, 2024, and the original To the Moon is coming to PS/Xbox

The Beach Episode is initially releasing in English & Chinese, with more languages coming by end of year ([the team] will try their best to get all the languages from the previous games in there)!

The playtime is approximately 2.5 - 3 hours.

It will initially be on PC (Steam + hopefully Humble & GOG) for sure, but [they] will also try to make Mac & Linux in-time. (Thanks to Ancu & Ali's work from before, it could be doable.)

Serenity Forge has stepped up to bring To the Moon to Playstation and XBox! Hopefully an exciting collaboration for more things in the future too. 😉

In fact, they've also created a memory snow globe of a scene from the Beach episode available when the game launches. d-(' ' d-) ([Kan] thinks there's a preorder open next week too.)

Onto the last mile! Thanks for the support everyone.
