Moons of Madness is a horror game that has just got its released date confirmed for both PC and the console versions of the game. PC players will get their hands on the game early as it releases this month on October 22.
The release dates for the console version, which will be on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, will be next year on January 21. A trailer was also released alongside the announcement. Check it out below:
If you are not aware of the plot, the game sets you in control of the protagonist called Shane Newhart who finds himself on the planet Mars, where he is operating as a technician at a base/research facility. 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.
Unlike what we know about Mars, the game reveals a lot of horrors that Shane will have to face. There are many monsters that inhabit the planet that nobody was aware of. Now that Shane finds himself stuck in a planet filled with dangers, he has to find a way out and discover the secrets that the planet is hiding. 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.
The gameplay reminds us a lot like SOMA, which is also another horror game that takes place in the deep ocean. The protagonist of the game was also set out to figure out what went wrong and how he can escape the facility and reach the surface. All the while another character on the radio guides them. Moons of Madness also seems to be running on the same track as SOMA.
A gameplay video was released back in July where we got to see some of the action and how Shane has to figure out where to go, to solve puzzles and find more clues. Watch the gameplay video below:
