Most everything is accompanied by a high quality character animation from opening and closing doors on the rover that gets you around the surface of Mars to filling your O2 with oxygen tanks that are conveniently scattered around the various locations.ĭespite its great animations for your character, presentation lacks in general, with the voice acting being the worst offender. These satisfying mechanics are often accompanied by equally satisfying character animations. I’m always a sucker for mechanics that are tactilely satisfying, and this hits the mark. Most of them involve reorganizing equipment, flipping switches and pulling levers to produce the desired effects. The puzzles are satisfactory, even if they are not the most clever. Throughout the game you’ll have several objectives to complete-usually to compensate for the systems that are failing around the Mars bases. And while it technically meets the criteria of “walking simulator” you can think of it as more of a long-rom escape room. Moons of Madness is essentially a puzzle game with horror elements, driven forward by its story.
I was okay with being thrust right into it, but after the beginning sequence is revealed to be a dream, I felt like the beginning reveal was a disservice to the slow build-up that follows.
Moons of Madness throws you right into it-straight away the Mars habitat you occupy is converted into a writhing, tentacled mess with visions of ghostly crew members. Shane, and a few other crew members, are suffering from nightmares and ghastly visions. You play as Shane Newehart, an engineer for the Orochi Group, which seems like your typical evil corporation. Moons of Madness takes place on a Mars base that has been suffering complications for the previous few weeks.
