Coming to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One Halloween 2019!

Moons of Madness is a first-person, story-driven cosmic horror game where the scientific exploration of Mars meets the supernatural dread of Lovecraft.
Developed by Rock Pocket Games and published by Funcom.


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 Invictus, a state-of-the-art Mars research outpost designed to identify the true nature of the message.​
You are Shane Newehart, a technician stationed at the Invictus 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. The security system is on lockdown, the greenhouse is flooded, and there is Martian dust leaking into the infirmary. 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.​

Moons of Madness draws upon the rich lore and mythology of Funcom’s Secret World Legends. Both games exist in the same thematic universe, but playing one is not a prerequisite to enjoy the other.

it probably won't come to steam anyway
Don't be so negative, lashy my man. :grimacing-face:

There will surely be plenty of games to buy, and developers to support.
Epic has been going for some "bigger" games, but most of the actual struggling indie developers will surely keep releasing on Steam.

Don't let this get you down. :cat-heart-blob:

i know, i know, i know ... it's just hard to get excited for any games right now ... since i don't even know if i'll get to play them any time soon ... and i can't really get excited for games i'll maybe be able to play 1 year+ from now

Sounds cool.
I should get back to Secret World Legends eventually. I paused shortly after I reached the Egypt area.
(Game probably has the best quests in the entire MMO business by far).

Maybe Epic is training us to stop buying into the Hype Cycle and instead get excited about the games we already own, or are on our wishlists :thinking-face:

I've been following this on facebook for a while. The Lovecraftian cosmic horror without the racism is strong with this one. I don't see this going EGS. It's too low profile even with this profile bump from E3
