Moons of Madness will blast off to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2018. It’s the small details that help create a believable world, and its so important for a horror title such as this. That where the Madness in the game’s title comes into play, as the studio is hoping to explore mental illness “without antagonizing the medical condition itself.”Īnd finally, I just have to say how much I like the fact you can see reflections and the character’s breath of the helmet visor. The player will have to try and decipher these visions to understand what’s really going on, without succumbing to mental illness. These “Zone Outs” are only in his mind, but represent certain events from the character’s past, while also foreshadowing a dark future. As you can see in the trailer above, Shane suffers from hallucinations and visions, aiming to simulate Lovecraftian madness. Both the environment and your own mind can turn against you at any moment, which creates the kind of tension you want in a horror game.Īnother interesting future the game introduces are “Zone Outs”. Personally, I think the sci-fi setting is perfect for that kind of narrative. According to the studio, the purpose of this combination is to blur the lines between reality and fiction. Moons of Madness appears to combine real-life science and technology with cosmic horror. The game follows astronaut Shane Newehart and the supernatural events that occur on research station Trailblazer Alpha, the first scientific outpost on the planet Mars. And you know me, I’m all over anything with “psychological horror” in its description. Rock Pocket Games, an indie studio located in Norway, has announced a new sci-fi psychological horror title – Moons of Madness.
