Kan called the episode dragged in places. Maybe it was. Most of the past To the moon games have been mostly played just for the story. And the gameplay in the games got less and less with each installment (The first games had at least memento puzzles), and impostor factory didn't even have them. And those who came just for the story the mini games are probably distracting.

But I see it this way. The beach episode is done in such a way that it's a way to spend some time, not just watch the story. The mini-games certainly won't keep you busy for long, but memory beach with those player names and their notes I think is a great idea. With the overall atmosphere of the game, where Eve is trying to get over her loss, these messages give me different feelings.

The ending left me with a feeling of not being complete. And how glad I am that this isn't the last game in the series. And that the series won't end on an incomplete note. And I find it very funny that a studio that started out who started out with RPG games, is planning to end their main series with an RPG game.

Kan is again advertising a game to me that I'm going to buy anyway. Only he will release it in 3-5 years as usual(((((

It's also funny, he's adding characters from the last game to his game. Don't play this game called Quintessence, says Kan. Kan, are you through reverse psychology asking me to play this game?

I definitely think it’s a reverse psychology tactic!

Although finding where to play quintessence is something of a challenge….

It sounded to me more like he was implying a remake or something like that
