Things go from bizarre to downright nightmarish after that point with such pacing that there really isn’t much downtime in-between tense moments. As one who doesn’t like to give real spoilers in experiences like this you’ll start to experience odd events about halfway through the first of three chapters. Starting out you’ll find yourself separated from the rest of you crewmates, so you’ll set out doing fairly routine jobs, which introduces the main bulk of what you’ll be doing over the course of the game. Of course this means that Shane is going to have his work cut out for him right after he has his morning coffee and gathers his wrist datapad. The mood lightens a little bit as Shane sets about his tasks to fix malfunctions prior to the Cyrano’s arrival. This opening moment single handedly sets the tone for the rest of the game as you come to not long after this nightly stroll. Things start off strong with Shane waking in the middle of the night to a nightmarishly darkened base with black gooish tentacles covering corridor walls and floors as he seeks out a figure he spots mere seconds after leaving his quarters. Manticore is one of the eight subsidiary companies that make up the rather nefarious company The Orochi Group. Unlike its main source, Moons of Madness is a single player experience that follows low security clearance Manticore engineer Shane Newheart, as he attempts to keep things running until the transport shuttle Cyrano sends in their replacements to the Mars base Invictus. I will preface the rest of the review by saying that you don’t have to know anything about The Secret World to enjoy Moons of Madness, but it will definitely add to its immersion if you do like myself. So when a new title featuring my favorite world surfaces in the form of Moons of Madness for Xbox One, by developer Rock Pocket Games, I was ready to test my sanity. It also just so happens to play an integral part in one of my favorite gaming worlds of all time, The Secret World, now Secret World Legends.

Lovecraft for instance has been the inspiration for many a movie or videogame adaption. Aliens, is by far, one of my favorite spacefaring titles in any form of medium but there is something a bit more sinister if you step things to a cosmic scale.
“In space no one can hear you scream” Here exists one of the most perfect taglines in cinema that has defined my love for the space themed horror genre.
