It's gotten a lot of critical praise from media and seems to be a favourite with Gaf, however it had some difficulty getting on Steam.
^ Or just play the demo and see if you like it.

Ah neat, didn't know there was a demo since I didn't see one on the steam page. Will look into it.
Sent two mails (one last Tuesday or Wednesday, one today) and haven't received a reply as of yet. Wondering when I'll receive the key.

Considering the game was just released, I would suggest you wait a bit before sending a third email.

How did you get burned by Home, I'm curious.

$2.50 worth of burn isn't something a man likes to talk about.
AAHHHHHH To The Moon is out. Buy it. And buy the soundtrack version, too, because the soundtrack is fantastic.
And yes, it has a demo - it's a time-limited demo, I think, that lets you play through the first hour of the game. If you aren't convinced by then, then I can't see you enjoying the rest of the game.

Oh, as a reminder to anyone who bought it directly from Freebird Games, you can e-mail them and get a free Steam key. Pretty sure it counts if you bought it off of Wadjet Eye Games' site alsol.

I just didn't get all the hype for it. I thought it was just not very well constructed, the twists were super obvious from 5 minutes in, and player choice was poorly implemented. Literally giving me
yes or no questions at the end to decide plot points or if my character believed things?
The art was neat, everything else was hamfisted. I replayed it 3 times doing different things and while things made more sense in the end than my original, horribly jumbled and confused ending where it literally forgot half of my choices, it still just wasn't that great.

I'll throw in a hair of skepticism. To the Moon is only 4 hours long. That seems short for $10, and the demo shows some unique mechanics but I dunno.
Unless it's in IMAX 3D. Can I play it in IMAX 3D?

It's a completely linear, barely interactive four hours, but I think most people who played the game will say they got more than $10 of enjoyment out of it. And the $10 comes with the soundtrack, which is one of the best classical game soundtracks in ages. And honestly, if you ask me, with the massive Steam backlog that I've built up, 4 hours for a story-based game with zero filler is a blessing, not a shortcoming.
Yes! I've been thinking about picking it up but never have. I'd love a copy. My steam ID is ashground.

You can now pre-purchase Secret Files 3 with 10% off and a copy of Lost Horizon, not bad.

It's an adventure, nothing at all like LTTP other than its graphics. It has a few small puzzles but it's mostly just going along with the story and a little exploration.
No, it's pretty much a visual novel built with RPG Maker. You walk around, talk to some people, and the story moves forward. It's utterly linear and there's no real "gameplay" to speak of. It's kind of like Dear Esther, I suppose, in that some people will abhor it due to its lack of traditional gameplay, while others will look past that and appreciate it for its great storyline.
Visual novel / non-game. I like it!
I emailed a few days ago and was told that a specific email address will be created to deal with these requests. I don't think it has been announced yet but I could be wrong. And it's good for anyone who can prove they purchased the game in the past, regardless of store.

I believe even if you bought it from Wadjet Eye it re-directed you to the freebird site.

There's almost 900 games in the "action" category to browse through. FPS is Valve's specialty and it's a huge genre on PC. I can't believe they don't have a category for it.
