A story-driven experience about two doctors traversing backwards through a dying man's memories to artificially fulfill his last wish.
Developed by Freebird Games · Published by Freebird Games, Serenity Forge
You play as Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts, who enter the memories of Johnny, an elderly man on his deathbed. Their job is to help him fulfill his final wish: to go to the moon.
Explore scenes from Johnny's life, talk with people in his memories, and examine objects that help the doctors piece together what matters to him. The journey moves backward through time, revealing new fragments as you progress.
The experience is linear and focused on story rather than combat or character upgrades. Its 2D pixel-art presentation is paired with dialogue, occasional light puzzles, and a soundtrack that accompanies the changing memories.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its carefully revealed story about memory, love, and regret, along with a soundtrack that reinforces its emotional moments. Reviews also appreciate the doctors' humorous exchanges and the concise, story-focused format. Some players, however, find the limited interaction and movement less engaging.
Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts have peculiar jobs: They give people another chance to live, all the way from the very beginning... but only in their patients' heads.
Due to the severity of the operation, the new life becomes the last thing the patients remember before drawing their last breath. Thus, the operation is only done to people on their deathbeds, to fulfill what they wish they had done with their lives, but didn’t.
This particular story follows their attempt to fulfill the dream of an elderly man, Johnny.
With each step back in time, a new fragment of Johnny's past is revealed. As the two doctors piece together the puzzled events that spanned a life time, they seek to find out just why the frail old man chose his dying wish to be what it is.
And Johnny's last wish is, of course... to go to the moon.
