Games like 'To The Moon'?

[Minnie]

I cannot say anything about this game that hsn't been said already, it's just a little bit of wonderful. :) Excited to see there will be more episodes!

In the meantime though, it made me wonder if there are any other games like this, and I wonder if any of you might have any suggestions? Something that is story driven, not all about the graphics or gameplay. Visual novels would be okay too!

So, if someone loves 'To the Moon', what else might they like?

Call me a heretic but I would actually recommend Dear Esther. Also fantastic soundtrack along with a monologue.

A game I found interesting but different than this title is The Path.

If you want modern games:
Dear Esther (IGF 2012 Nominee for multiple category)

Analogue: A Hate Story (visual novel by Christine Love, also 2013 IGF honorable mention)

The Walking Dead (probably the best Telltale game)

The Blackwell Series (http://store.steampowered.com/app/80330)

Primodia (by the same creators as Blackwell)

Gemini Rue (by the same creators as Blackwell)

A New Beginning

If you want the older games I have a few that I seriously recommend:
The Longest Journey + Dreamfall (considered one of the apex of early P&Cs)

Syberia + Syberia 2 (Same)

Really To the Moon is a point and click adventure through and through and it's interesting that people claim TTM was this great new experience when really TTM was just a really well written and really well scored P&C adventure games. If you really loved and enjoy To the Moon then probably you should play more P&C adventures.

Oh... I also suggest Botanicula and Machinarium but those P&Cs are less story and more about the lore and world.

[Minnie]

Lizardfolk, yes I do enjoy P&C adventures!

Several of those I had not played and they look interesting. Definitely going to pick up The Walking Dead and a few others when/if they go on sale. I have The Longest Journey, still need to finish the journey though. And Machinarium was cute!

Helmstif, you heretic! Hehe, I might get Dear Esther some day. :)

I can't believe this thread is still getting responses, thank you!!

Minnie, you can trust Pika, I agree on everything he said! :D
