They had no trouble when they started building the house so I guess they planned it for the perfection. But later on when River got sick they've already had the basic layouts built or even more so I believe you couldn't really change it back to smaller size? If that makes sense.
*Spoilers* When I watched this, I had no idea what autism was. I didn't understand why River acted the way she did. But now my nephew has autism, and I understand it a lot more now. Rewatching this, I'm getting all the connections now. I love this game so much ♡
John wrote a song for river, wait, river... Song... Riversong, and John smith, the name the doctor uses. MY GOD ITS THE DOCTOR AND RIVERSONG!!! Or I've been watching to much doctor who.
I haven't seen this game since this playthrough first came out, I didn't think I could watch it again. That fucking "Everything's Alright" music box. Fuck, I was right thinking I couldn't watch this again. And I thought my tears ran out watching Clannad.
Maybe it's just me, but I kind of feel like no one has been giving any quarter to Johnny's feelings. Wrong or not, everyone is coming off as a bit cold.
***** well u must be new...oohh yes I see ur very very new to the fandom please do go and watch all of cry's vids AND the live streams because he himself has said that he sounded like tobuscus back in day his current "narrating voice" sounds nothing like it is here in this vid u just need to sit down stop watching minecraft videos and watch ALLLLLL of Cryaotic ^_^
I find it nice how Cry chose to use calm music at the ending of these videos, it's really considerate of the story and just wow - this is why i love cry so much; he actually cares for the game.
Wow....just simply wow. This game already at such an early point in the playthrough has already brought me to tears. It is not often that video games are truly able to make me cry. God bless Freebird games for showing that this medium is an artform in its own right that is capable of making a grown man feel such emotion over pixels on a screen. :')
How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold. Maybe I'm just too demanding. Maybe I'm just like my father too bold. Maybe I'm just like my mother. She's never satisfied. Why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like when doves cry.
travels Euh...social healthcare is a thing in most of the Western world. I happen to be from Belgium but I could've been from most western(lifestyle, including Australia with this] nations.
travels Sounds fun. Injuries or diseases is just something I don't really have to worry about. I mean say I get crippled on the job(without making a mistake on my part of course) I'll simply keep my pay. I've had people who had that happen place swimming pools.(my part-time job atm) In the US they would sue in that case I guess.
Londronable crap. being american kinda sucks sometimes. don't get me wrong the quote on quote "freedom" is nice. but i mean it's not really free. it's got one hell of a price tag involved. and you know donald trump? fuck that guy.
I wanted to say thank you so much for becoming a youtuber. You and others are the only reason I can laugh as much as I can. Whenever I felt down, I watched you play games and laughed. Thank you for being you. Thanks Cry. :)
the notes, beats, and pattern triggers chemicals in your brain their are ones that make you feel brave others my cause euphoria, fear, and just plain depressing also anger its just so magnificent.
what's so Amazing about this Play Through, is that I always know Cry as this Goofy, Witty, Sarcastic, and Comical voice. But his Voice is so beautiful for this game, and the pacing is eloquent, and the soothing tone is almost Hypnotic, I find he does this game Real justice and Respect, right down to the choice of music for the Speed Through
Maybe I'll get hate but I can't sympathize with River. She asks Johnny "Do you know what makes me happy?" But gives no thought to what makes Johnny happy. Anya can be rebuilt. River can't be revived. Johnny does all he can to make River happy because he loves her. Can the same be said about her? She does nothing for him. In fact, almost all the characters don't seem to think about Johnny's feelings. :(
With River's condition thinking about the emotions of others is a very complicated task. She has some form of aspergers, and for people with that expressing and perceiving emotions and thoughts is basically impossible if it's never 'treated'.
NipahMotherfuckers While I would agree it's harder to "feel it". Having aspergers does not mean one can not "understand" it, speaking as one. We tend to be very logical. Keeping my current girlfriend happy is kind of my biggest priority. Maybe I can not always emotionally relate why something is for example important to her. She can count on me remembering that it is. Basically, I have aspergers and I'm calling her selfish as fuck.
I was trying not to cry when Johnny and River were talking but when he sat down at the piano and started to play, I lost it. Why does this game make me so emotional?!
Throughout the whole video I was just rocking back and forth in my chair, trying not to cry yet at the same time appreciating the beauty of the whole game.
I don't know if it's just me, but when i listened to the first scene in this video with earphones, i could hear a heartbeat in the background. I never noticed it before. And it made my heart ache all over again.
Cry, you are an amazing narrator. Too many of these "Play through" videos on youtube for whatever game you can think of, but you do fit Dr. Watts and your soft voice makes the game all that more sad. Good... job for making me cry?
When I saw johnny write a song on the piano just for river. I was tearing up.... My sister played the piano, she`s so talented. It`s too bad that she`s so far away now. I`m happy for her since she got into such a good school, but I miss her so much and I wish she could visit more often.... This game is so pretty ;A;
@JordanCW1 Every bit of music I will use in the To the Moon playthrough is from the game itself. If you like it you can get the music if you purchase the game and go into its Audio files.
I actually really liked watching Pewdie play this. I love his voices, and I think he still realizes when something's serious. I still cried like a baby throughout watching the game (especially at the end). He didn't have such a strong reaction to the story though, so I thought I's watch Cry's playthrough. His voice greatly fits the mood, and I like seeing the different reactions to the game. :3
@XchaosftwX This is purely a story-based experience. There is some faint eerie bits, but it's a tragicomedy tale that doesn't rely on the spooks to get emotions out of someone.
Damn...Just....damn. The amount of sadness I feel in each episode of this playthrough is equal to the sadness of the ending of the ib playthrough. So emotional...
@ Jennifer Rodgers it refers (in this context) to those who aren't on the autism spectrum . River and her friend have some form of Autism most likely Aspergers . I can relate I'm an Aspie too
I noticed a lot of people asking about the music in this part, and unless I'm mistaken, Johnny even says the song he is playing is called "for River". Another thing is, if you go to the website for freebird games I believe you can buy each song in the game, or the entire album.
Wow, in my opinion, you make this game so much more emotional that Pewdie does. Your voice just suits the melancholy storyline and is just perfect for commentating over it.
The part between Isabelle and John ALWAYS makes me cry, i mean before that, when Johnnys in the rain and when Hes with River I tear up (cuz im a baby) but the part between him and Izzy just makes me cry :'(
Why...why can't there be many more games with stories that are beautiful like this? You get to play it...but at the same time...your just a bystander. Very beautiful :')
They have lived their lives and she wants to pass on, forcing her to go through a treatment she doesnt want to and crushing the one dream she had is wrong in a way. It makes more sense after watching all of the videos.
When River said "What else?" She wanted him to say "It's different from all the rest." I think that the rabbit was supposed to symbolize her. Because she was viewed as different. Actually, I feel it also symbolizes me. Because people at school treat me the same way as her, so I can relate. :3
When I saw "More to come" I was like "NOOOO I want to see the rest!" So now, I will buy the game and play it in one playthrough. :D Thank you Cry for making us discover such great games like that.
This is the saddest thing I've ever seen, if someone tells me that video games aren't art I will show them these videos. And we will shed manly tears together.
If you haven't watched the rest of the videos, stop reading now. But the Rabbit is representing the constellation of the stars that they made up when Johnny and River first met, And the moon was the rabbits tummy. River was acting strange because she wanted Johnny to remember their first meeting, but he just treated it as a sign of her illness. Removing River at the end motivated Johnny to go to the moon because that's where they agreed to meet if they ever got lost, with her, he had no reason.
Pewdiepie is more in the comedic, horror, range. We all can't blame Pewdiepie he's Swedish and some times our feels aren't the same as his. Remember Can Your Pet? He cried at that, while he didn't really cry at To The Moon, everybody has different preferences which makes people so unique. I do agree he lacked the 'emotions' we needed and Cry I know understands the sorrow in this game better, keep it up Cry.
I watched To the Moon with Pewdie, and now im watching it again, but with Cry. I really like Cry doing it. Pewdie comments a lot, which is fine, but with Cry there's like more time to just enjoy the story. Plus I love that he dosent make funny voices to the characters, but just read it up nice and chilled. His voice let the beauty in this game come to its right :)
Watching this the first time, I was totally fine and had no idea how it was sad, I have memory issues and can't remember much, but, from what I do, I'm already crying hahaThere was someone who loved pickled olives as much as Johnny, Cry :'(
As soon as I read neurotypical all the bells went off. I've only ever heard that from families that deal with ASD... This game just became 100 times more interesting to me.

Maybe it would be alright if you built a smaller bloody house Johnny. She cares about the location not about having a huge mansion.
They had no trouble when they started building the house so I guess they planned it for the perfection. But later on when River got sick they've already had the basic layouts built or even more so I believe you couldn't really change it back to smaller size? If that makes sense.
I fell in love with the song right from the moment walked trhough the door and hear the kids play it. It is so beautiful ;_;
The creator of this game Kan Gao also created this song as well. He is a very talented man indeed
*Spoilers*
When I watched this, I had no idea what autism was. I didn't understand why River acted the way she did. But now my nephew has autism, and I understand it a lot more now. Rewatching this, I'm getting all the connections now. I love this game so much ♡
Finally getting around to watching this playthrough.
The feels.
John wrote a song for river, wait, river... Song... Riversong, and John smith, the name the doctor uses. MY GOD ITS THE DOCTOR AND RIVERSONG!!! Or I've been watching to much doctor who.
This comment is just amazing XD ^
I haven't seen this game since this playthrough first came out, I didn't think I could watch it again.
That fucking "Everything's Alright" music box. Fuck, I was right thinking I couldn't watch this again. And I thought my tears ran out watching Clannad.
I think I might be a heartless bastard.
I haven't even started to feel like I'm gonna tear up, and I'm moving on to episode 4. ;-;
Maybe it's just me, but I kind of feel like no one has been giving any quarter to Johnny's feelings. Wrong or not, everyone is coming off as a bit cold.
boxOhobo They're probably jaded, these guys wander through people's sad lives as a living. They're bound to get cynical.
wow... This is a deep game. Who would have thought. teared up a little.
I notice during the sad parts Cry that u lose ur "tobuscus" voice and use ur own
***** well u must be new...oohh yes I see ur very very new to the fandom please do go and watch all of cry's vids AND the live streams because he himself has said that he sounded like tobuscus back in day his current "narrating voice" sounds nothing like it is here in this vid u just need to sit down stop watching minecraft videos and watch ALLLLLL of Cryaotic ^_^
***** Indeed, that was quite childish for Jessica randomly spouting out an insult
***** No one cares if you watch him or not you don't just spout insults at people for no reason
this games soundtrack is fucking amazing
No wonder his name is "Cry"aotic
It's late but.. "Cry-a-lot-tic"
8:24 current: 32 ideal: 4....good job cry...
I find it nice how Cry chose to use calm music at the ending of these videos, it's really considerate of the story and just wow - this is why i love cry so much; he actually cares for the game.
Wow....just simply wow. This game already at such an early point in the playthrough has already brought me to tears. It is not often that video games are truly able to make me cry.

"I don't think anyone else ever loved pickled olives as much as you, bro"
...if only you knew, Cry, if only you knew...
@Minerecraftspawn I shed a manly tear last night and I've only recorded halfway through the game - you are if I am.
How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold.
Maybe I'm just too demanding. Maybe I'm just like my father too bold.
Maybe I'm just like my mother. She's never satisfied.
Why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like when doves cry.
i have a feeling that i'm gonna be full on crying when this is over
Same, I was bawling my eyes out with pewds so I wonder how it is going 2 end up this time!!
@SidneySuffocation Ever since I played Silent Hive I keep hearing about it - I don't read it or anything but I know of it.
Kind of funny how medical bills are an issue here.
Seems like this game happens in the US :p.
+Londronable ...are you canadian?
travels
Euh...social healthcare is a thing in most of the Western world.
I happen to be from Belgium but I could've been from most western(lifestyle, including Australia with this] nations.
Londronable hm. ok. well if i lose a leg i'll be crippled and in debt for the rest of my life.
travels Sounds fun.
Injuries or diseases is just something I don't really have to worry about.
I mean say I get crippled on the job(without making a mistake on my part of course) I'll simply keep my pay.
I've had people who had that happen place swimming pools.(my part-time job atm)
In the US they would sue in that case I guess.
Londronable crap. being american kinda sucks sometimes. don't get me wrong the quote on quote "freedom" is nice. but i mean it's not really free. it's got one hell of a price tag involved. and you know donald trump? fuck that guy.
This is very well played cry
does anyone hear 'forever' when he says 'for river' at 3:38?
I did
OH MY GOD
Johnny Cage? No, Johnny Watts? That is not right, Johnny Test? Yeah, Johnny Test
I wanted to say thank you so much for becoming a youtuber. You and others are the only reason I can laugh as much as I can. Whenever I felt down, I watched you play games and laughed. Thank you for being you. Thanks Cry. :)
I'd love to see a To the moon anime...
the notes, beats, and pattern triggers chemicals in your brain their are ones that make you feel brave others my cause euphoria, fear, and just plain depressing also anger its just so magnificent.
what's so Amazing about this Play Through, is that I always know Cry as this Goofy, Witty, Sarcastic, and Comical voice. But his Voice is so beautiful for this game, and the pacing is eloquent, and the soothing tone is almost Hypnotic,

watts dos
I was trying not to cry when Johnny and River were talking but when he sat down at the piano and started to play, I lost it. Why does this game make me so emotional?!
You can say this video made me CRY
Throughout the whole video I was just rocking back and forth in my chair, trying not to cry yet at the same time appreciating the beauty of the whole game.
when you watch this series a second time, you get all the stuff you didnt get before, and it makes you cry ten times more
I finished the game last year. The moment river gave the multi colored paper rabbit to johnny was, it flooded me with feels. so much feels.
I don't know if it's just me, but when i listened to the first scene in this video with earphones, i could hear a heartbeat in the background. I never noticed it before. And it made my heart ache all over again.
Cry, you are an amazing narrator. Too many of these "Play through" videos on youtube for whatever game you can think of, but you do fit Dr. Watts and your soft voice makes the game all that more sad. Good... job for making me cry?
It's so adorable how he gets so attached to the characters especially Johnny ^_^!
Thank you for not spoiling it. It's a really good story and if someone in the comments ruined this I'd be so sad.
I really, really love the way you narrate, Cry, like you're truly emotionally investigated in the story. Also, your voice is incredibly attractive.
"I just made a car into a bubble... That's fine... that's fine..."
Dude! Your deadpan delivery on that line made it the greatest I've ever heard.
When I saw johnny write a song on the piano just for river. I was tearing up....
My sister played the piano, she`s so talented. It`s too bad that she`s so far away now.
I`m happy for her since she got into such a good school, but I miss her so much and I wish she could visit more often....
This game is so pretty ;A;
This is one of the very few games that make me cry....
It's so emotional.....
i have seen this game walk through couple times. But this time with cry's voice, I just can's stop crying.
I've finally learned "For River/To The Moon" on piano^^ It's such a beautiful song
Its the first time ever I had to just pause for a little because of all the emotions this game has while cry tells the story
cry u always find a way to make me cry and im beyond tough and hard as a rock wen it comes to stuff like this
As i am rewatching this is just realised why it was so important that the rabbit has two colors :'(
cry you should be a narrator you brought tears to my eyes man
@JordanCW1 Every bit of music I will use in the To the Moon playthrough is from the game itself.
If you like it you can get the music if you purchase the game and go into its Audio files.
Cry's voice + the music + the story = beyond epic!
God Dammit Cry! You're going to make me cry... IT'S SO EMOTIONAL! And your voice adds on to it.
Just finished playing this game, and I just about bawled when River asked Johnny to describe the paper rabbit he gave her.
I actually really liked watching Pewdie play this. I love his voices, and I think he still realizes when something's serious. I still cried like a baby throughout watching the game (especially at the end). He didn't have such a strong reaction to the story though, so I thought I's watch Cry's playthrough. His voice greatly fits the mood, and I like seeing the different reactions to the game. :3
That song is just stunningly beautiful. I can't handle it.
The music is just so peacefull, it takes your mind off of things.
@XchaosftwX This is purely a story-based experience. There is some faint eerie bits, but it's a tragicomedy tale that doesn't rely on the spooks to get emotions out of someone.
I can't explain how much I love that song!!!! :)
Damn...Just....damn. The amount of sadness I feel in each episode of this playthrough is equal to the sadness of the ending of the ib playthrough. So emotional...
@ Jennifer Rodgers it refers (in this context) to those who aren't on the autism spectrum . River and her friend have some form of Autism most likely Aspergers . I can relate I'm an Aspie too
"Wow" indeed.
I never knew I'd get so emotional over a narrated game....with mini pixel people.
Good job Cry.
Such a compelling and well told story, very good choice to show off to the viewers cry
12:10 Started crying 1st time so far, lets see how many times i cry threw this series.
I just love how Cry used an OST of the game for when he takes long to solve the puzzle~
I noticed a lot of people asking about the music in this part, and unless I'm mistaken, Johnny even says the song he is playing is called "for River". Another thing is, if you go to the website for freebird games I believe you can buy each song in the game, or the entire album.
Dammit cry I was just supposed to watch one episode of this before I went to bed!!
Same lolz!!!
I can't help but cry when River asks Johnny to describe the paper rabbit, in origami the Rabbit is the symbol of the moon
Wow, in my opinion, you make this game so much more emotional that Pewdie does. Your voice just suits the melancholy storyline and is just perfect for commentating over it.
@EuphoriumDesign Sure! Make sure to have some syrup and butter at the ready too.
Getting goosebumps from this game..
@ThisIsYourComputer All songs in this playthrough will be from the game's files. So part of the game.
The best part about Cry is that he doesn't make terrible jokes at terrible times.
December 2017. I love this play through !
The part between Isabelle and John ALWAYS makes me cry, i mean before that, when Johnnys in the rain and when Hes with River I tear up (cuz im a baby) but the part between him and Izzy just makes me cry :'(
I teared up when Johnny started playing the piano.
Gosh, this game reminds me of the song "The Lighthouse Tale" I still can't listen to this song without crying.
I really wish I had all the music played in this game.
Just something soothing to listen to.
Why...why can't there be many more games with stories that are beautiful like this? You get to play it...but at the same time...your just a bystander.
Very beautiful :')
@ViktorBulle This statement has never had so much depth before: In his dreams.
Because It's MADE to make you emotional! Any attempt to not cry is doomed to failure
@OreoC00kie259 Very much so. Kan did amazing work on the music in this game.
I absolutely love the deep story, lots of heart and some good laughs!
They have lived their lives and she wants to pass on, forcing her to go through a treatment she doesnt want to and crushing the one dream she had is wrong in a way. It makes more sense after watching all of the videos.
When River said "What else?" She wanted him to say "It's different from all the rest."
I think that the rabbit was supposed to symbolize her. Because she was viewed as different. Actually, I feel it also symbolizes me. Because people at school treat me the same way as her, so I can relate. :3
The soundtrack of this game is amazing! it sounds so moving and sad.
When I saw "More to come" I was like "NOOOO I want to see the rest!"
So now, I will buy the game and play it in one playthrough. :D
Thank you Cry for making us discover such great games like that.
This is the saddest thing I've ever seen, if someone tells me that video games aren't art I will show them these videos. And we will shed manly tears together.

Why am I watching this before work.. I'm gonna be crying all day.
After playing this game watching Johnny's real life memories is absolutely heart-breaking... :'(
Pewdiepie is more in the comedic, horror, range. We all can't blame Pewdiepie he's Swedish and some times our feels aren't the same as his. Remember Can Your Pet? He cried at that, while he didn't really cry at To The Moon, everybody has different preferences which makes people so unique.

Plus I love that he dosent make funny voices to the characters, but just read it up nice and chilled. His voice let the beauty in this game come to its right :)
my heart.. isn't big enough.. for all these feels...
I don't completely understand how a rabbit resembles the moon, but that explains a lot. Thank you.
Watching this the first time, I was totally fine and had no idea how it was sad, I have memory issues and can't remember much, but, from what I do, I'm already crying hahaThere was someone who loved pickled olives as much as Johnny, Cry :'(
I guess watching for the second time makes it even more emotional
As soon as I read neurotypical all the bells went off. I've only ever heard that from families that deal with ASD... This game just became 100 times more interesting to me.
watts is the only character that makes this story lively and less depressing
your voice is very relaxing ^-^
I know Cry joked about it, but I really COULD listen to "For River" for 2 nights straight.
@TheMiniclip007 Go put a bobblehead on the washing machine and start a big load of laundry. It'll make everything better.
