If you don't think a game can make you cry - like really grab tight ahold of your heart and squeeze it until you're a blubbering wreck - give To The Moon a shot. Conceptualised by one-man narrative powerhouse Ken Gao and coded through the publicly-available RPG Maker engine, it's clear Gao just wanted to tell his tale, with the interactive platform of video games being the perfect canvas. The is the nearest thing to Christopher Nolan's Inception in game-form, as you play two scientists attempting to grant a dying man one last wish. However, you do this by implanting memories in his subconscious, so he'll truly believe he achieved the impossible, before passing away. Already from that description you'll know if TTM is for you or not, but in terms of a truly beautiful little story with genuine heart from creator to code, it's unmatched.
