What makes it fun

  1. Work backward through a life

    Each step back through the old man's memories changes what his wish to reach the moon might mean. You start piecing his life together from events you've already seen.

  2. A toy and paper rabbits connect

    As you move back through the memories, the platypus toy, paper rabbits, and lighthouse begin to connect. Things that seemed unrelated become clues to the old man's wish.

  3. The doctors keep talking

    The doctors trade jokes as they move through the memories. Their banter changes the pace between difficult scenes and makes the next exchange worth hearing.
