Norwegian developer Rock Pocket Games has announced their next project, and it’s going to be quite the departure from the colorful, family-friendly mobile titles you probably didn’t know they’ve been churning out since 2008.
With the help of a 500k kr (about $60k) government grant, the studio is looking to combine two of my favorite things — the timeless works of H.P. Lovecraft and the impossibly huge and mostly empty void that surrounds this rock we call home — in a first-person psychological horror game based in hard science fiction called Moons of Madness.
The game’s reveal trailer brings up the appropriate number of questions, as does the curious way in which its developer describes it. According to Rock Pocket, it “has not much in common with SOMA, even less with Alien and even less with Doom.”
So, yeah.
