I Wish I Were The Moon

Final One

If you have been watching intently on these past three posts to see what type of games I was willing to share here, and you have been waiting to see the game that I hold in the highest regard (out of the three of course), then here it is. The last of the three games is indeed I wish I were the Moon.

While it definitely does sound like a really long and deep type of game, the former assumption is wrong. The game itself is short, but it manages to pack enough emotion in a little game. Wildly thrown into the game you have no idea what to do for the first few seconds. Upon a bit of messing around you find that you are able to click to take a "picture" of whatever is in the frame. However you are allowed to move the snapshot and place it accordingly so you can change the story.

Yes, I know, it kind of does resemble the last game, Today I Die in ways. However for some reason I am definitely more partial to I wish I were the Moon. It speaks to me in a way that Today I Die cannot, presumably because I have never been really all that depressed. There are seven endings that you can achieve through changing the overall picture, some tragic and others happy. Getting all endings took me a while, but I got them. Like the other games, I wish I were the Moon takes patience.

The game is available to play on Kongregate. If you're still focused on why I wish I were the Moon and Today I Die are both somewhat similar, you'll be glad to hear that they are indeed by the same author: Daniel Benmergui, who has also developed other games (that I'll be sure to try out later on).

ESO Beta

Funny story. It turns out I was invited to an Elder Scrolls Online beta testing for this weekend, but I just saw the email yesterday, so I ended up quickly trying to patch ESO (ended up taking four hours) and finally got some playing time. I'm under obligation to not disclose any information about what happens in the beta, but I will say that I am having a great time trying out the game. Anyhow, just wanted to share that if you've been wondering what I have been doing.

Besides that I've also been investing more time into another small game called Realm of the Mad God. Interesting how I use my time eh? I'd much rather be doing other stuff, but volleyball season isn't starting until a month later at the least. So ESO, Realm of the Mad God, and Osu! are just the things that I do to kill time off.

Goodnight

Time again to write off another post. Thanks to everybody who's been following along with the whole game thing. Hopefully I'll remember to find another game to review soon (I've had fun writing these), but for the next while there probably won't be any.

Today I'm a 7. Chem test coming up soon and I figure that I can't keep on being an 8 (well, I can, but I won't). Until next time it is then.
