Before the Green Moon is a beautiful game. Relationships unfold slowly and gently, but the pace of the game around the busywork of farming and gathering provides structure. For a large chunk of the game's time (which, for me, lasted about 9 or 10 hours), it seemed like there was at least one new encounter or discovery each day. The ending also provided me with a feeling of nervous excitement that I get before a big trip. Few games are this emotionally engaging.
