To the Moon tells a story of a technology that allows to alter a person’s memories. Imagine a world where doctors can rework your memory in order to grant your greatest wish… but there's just one catch: It will be the last thing you'll ever remember.

Dr. Eva Rosalene and Dr. Neil Watts have rather peculiar jobs: In the year 2060, they control this technology that allows doctors to weave artificial memories, such that a patient can request attempts to alter their mind, and wake up with memories of things that didn’t actually happen.

However, since these new memories are permanent, the conflict between them and the existing authentic memories clash in such a way that it ceases the person’s ability to properly function.

Thus, the operation is only done to people on their deathbeds, to fulfil what they wish they had done with their lives… but didn’t.

The technology requires the doctors to step into the memories of the patient, which are reconstructed as interactive scenes. The doctors then gradually traverse backwards through memories of the patient’s life until they reach childhood — at which point, the wish of the patient in present time would be transferred over.

Along with the doctors’ influence, the patient (as a child) could then lead an entire different life inside their head, working toward and fulfilling their dying wish themselves.

And if all goes well, they would wake up, having lived the dream life they never had, and embrace a brief moment of blissful fulfilment. Shortly after, they’d draw their last breath.

John, the protagonist of To the Moon, is a patient of Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts, and both doctors are about to fulfil his last wish: To weave the memory of having become an astronaut and visited the Moon.

As Director Kan Gao eloquently put it "To the Moon is about seeking fantasy from reality." And when it comes to the decision on having the game fully remade and ported, “Even under such a freemium-lead market, it's never too late to bring this heart-gripping story to a whole new group of players.” says Shen Sheng, CTO and the Development producer of the Switch version from X.D. Network.

The Nintendo Switch version is a fully remade creation by X.D. Network, taking the original RPG Maker blueprint and precisely recreating it via Unity. The first in a two-part series, To the Moon is an award winning story-driven experience about love and loss, with enough heart-wrenching moments to keep the player invested from its concise start to emotional finish.

For those who haven't experienced To the Moon, the Switch release in Summer 2019 will be a great opportunity to finally dive into the poignant story created by Freebird Games as this marks the first time players can experience the game on consoles.

Key features:

• A unique & non-combat, story-driven experience
• Innovative mix of adventure game elements and classic RPG aesthetics
• Acclaimed original soundtrack that closely ties to the story
• The gaming equivalent of a fine espresso - a tight execution with zero filler

Currently available on PC, To the Moon is coming to Nintendo Switch later this summer 2019.
