Indie developer Freebird Games has announced a November 1 release date for To the Moon, the heart-tugging adventure-RPG about a couple of scientists manipulating a dying man's memories to help him fulfill an unrealized wish. A couple of months ago, I interviewed Freebird's founder and one-man powerhouse Kan Gao about the project, which conveys its creatively original narrative using some familiar conventions from Japanese role-playing games.

Vocalist Laura Shigihara ('Zombies on my Lawn' - Plants vs. Zombies), lends her vocal talents to the game's soundtrack, which was also composed by Gao. The soundtrack--some of which can currently be sampled on the official website--is also currently available for pre-order. The To the Moon website also indicates that fifty percent of the profit from OST purchases will go to charities combating autism.

A new preview trailer of sorts has also been released, featuring in-game footage and some words from Gao, himself. Given the rather heady themes the game is tackling, you might be pleasantly surprised to find that it contains a good deal of quirky humor, which adds a nice flavor to the game's charm and intrigue.

The developer isn't accepting pre-orders yet, but you can sign up to be notified via email on the official website.

      Kan, next time do the script at 4am and the actual audio when you don't have to whisper. It's a little creepy.

      Game looks neat, though.
