Fixer singing her song to Watcher is so sweet and heartbreaking, I'm going to listen to it again right now.

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same scene, but the very end of Chapter 9 was this for me!

As far as most impactful moment though, that’s gotta be the… how to say this without spoiling anything? The part where you turn lights on and off. That part absolutely BROKE me. I had to set the game down and have a cry and wonder what kind of person this made me before moving forward

The surprise in the cake. All the way up to that point I was expecting it to not work.

Crying non stop for 30 minutes after the game ended because it legitimately made me happy to be alive.

Honestly everything from the "undercity" area (forgive me for forgetting the name; I'm good with feels, bad with names) onward is some of the best storytelling I've experienced in a game in years. You just knew you were playing something special.

That's the part where a character play-acts their deepest wish, right? Phenomenal moment

My favorite memory is going into the game completely blind, not knowing genre or story or themes; then the complete awe as it just kept going deeper, the thrill at each new turn of the narrative. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience.

I can't pick one specific moment. The entire game is an unforgettable experience. Can't wait for Prove You're Human.

Also, Not!Mauve dancing along in the background whenever the memory bled into the prison chamber.

Sincere thanks to the entire team for making such a profound work of art. Beautiful, painful, moving, and enduring.

When I reached the end of the story, perfectly content with what I'd just played, and then realized it wasn't over and there was so much more to come. And then later, when that exact same thing happened again.

Can you do this for me Blue? When the time comes? It would be awful to not know where you are.

that one moment when Secretary is [spoiler] I noticed the visual echo before it actually happened and started pointing at my screen and hollerin! the visual language of the game is so so well crafted

So many I've even lost count, but I love the quiet moment Mother and Father shared dancing on top of the kitchen table 😭

It was a sad moment but it was so impactful I can't help but love it (mild spoilers) : When Iris is in her room and her mother is banging on the door. Then it stops. Silence... then a gentle knock. A change? Someone new? Her dad. Gentle. Pleading. I'm tearing up just typing it. So beautiful...

In general it's hard to pick just one moment. One of the strongest qualities of the game is its pacing, the consistent unraveling of mysteries and ramping up of stakes. So many memorable scenes

Jiao running away from Iris, moving from streetlight to streetlight while the music and voices ramp up.

It's so hard to choose, but I think my favorite moment was in Chapter 6 with the objective text changing.

My favorite memory of the game, among many, is the music. Specifically Watcher’s theme and how the Orchard at Moonlight theme breaks down at the end. But really, the whole experience.

My memories are pretty fresh. I just finished it for the first time a week ago. It's either talking to Knower about the Horse statue or it's running through the Orchard when ... to avoid spoilers, let's just say it's smokey and your experience starts to overlap with the past.

oh, and that time i sent an audio rant to my friends (who havent played it) while pacing around the house bc certain revelation was so brilliant and so magistrally done i just needed to

Any chance of a physical version? Holding out hope

Damn, it's hard. The game really snowballs over time so the last parts hit very hard but they're carried so well by everything that came before. I'd say the ending of ch6 into the entirety of ch7 is when I realized just... *how much* this game was

Resonance

Going to bed right after finishing Chapter 6 And just lying awake

My favorite “fun” moment of the game, without spoiling, is “5 minutes”. The part that really touched my heart was everything from the Ch6 talk between Bartender and Blue, to the chat with Jackie

Mother and Father's conversation in Chapter 7, and Father's ending. Whoever wrote those parts you were VERY MEAN but also thank you 😭

Finally finding video game characters worse at dancing than Commander Shepard.

Two words: Bang. Bang. Fire.
