Description

About the Game

A mysterious signal has been recorded coming from the red planet.

The message confounded Orochi scientists. Their analysts broke it down and determined it was of intelligent origin. Orochi management immediately concluded that the discovery was too sensitive for public knowledge and moved to keep it hidden. In secret, the corporation began construction of Trailblazer Alpha, a state-of-the-art Mars research outpost designed to identify the true nature of the message.

You are Shane Newehart, an engineer stationed at Trailblazer Alpha and your security clearance means you are completely unaware of the existence of the mysterious signal. Your job is simply to keep the lights on until the transport ship Cyrano arrives bringing with it a new team to take over your duties.

Soon you discover strange and unusual setbacks. Crucial systems are malfunctioning, the greenhouse is filled with a strange mist and the rest of your team has yet to return from their EVA mission.

Things are starting to fall apart.

You begin seeing and hearing things that aren’t there. Visions, hallucinations – or is that even what it is? Is this real… or are you slowly descending into madness?

Experience true cosmic horror

With your only hope of rescue hundreds of thousands of miles away, you will be forced to explore the real-world fears of isolation and paranoia, enhanced with supernatural elements and cosmic horror. Terrifying visions and monstrous apparitions will make you question what is real and what is not as the very fabric of reality threatens to tear at the seams.

Explore the darker side of Mars

Navigate a functioning Mars base in a game that uses non-fiction elements to immerse players in a believable setting. Overcome obstacles using computers, electrical systems, rovers, solar panels and more, then go beyond the outpost and explore the darker side of Mars.

When it comes to walking horror simulators Moons of Madness lands right smack dead center in cosmic horror next to the likes of Conarium, only in difference being an outer space stealth, puzzler, interactive horror

Except for pretty ok voice acting and aesthetically decent locations, this game has nothing to offer and I cannot recommend it, as there's too many better games (indie games, games at the given price point, you name

Nice horror game. Finishable in under 8 hours. Takes about halfway till you realize what type of horror it atually is (well, if you don't read any walkthroughs or reviews). Worth the money.

Moons of Madness is a narrative-driven cosmic horror experience developed by Rock Pocket Games and published by Funcom, blending the bleak realism of a Mars exploration mission with the creeping dread of Lovecraftian

Another confusing dream-related scenario... I highly recommend playing this game without voices, as it completely ruins the horrific atmosphere with bad and vulgar dialogue. A lot of reuse of the same places... However
