10 Emotionally Intense Video Games You Need To Experience

5. To The Moon

While RPG Maker is often frowned-upon as an engine, some creators have used it to create ingenious games. Freebird Games, for instance, not only created a point-and-click adventure game with the engine but also a one that will completely captivate you. To The Moon demonstrates the power of music during its introduction. The somber piano piece immediately strikes a chord (no pun intended), and even the car crash at the beginning doesn€™t detract from its effectiveness. Considering that the game is one parts tragic, funny, and nostalgic, the soundtrack needs to emphasize each emotion, and it fluidly switches when appropriate. The soundtrack perfectly complements the excellently written story, which delves into the strange life of scientists who attempt to take a dying man to the moon - at least in his dreams. The result is a tale of heartbreak and nostalgia that might require a few pieces of tissue paper upon completion.
