[E3 2019] Sci-Fi Horror ‘Moons of Madness’ Gets a Halloween Release Date
Lovecraftian Space horror Moons of Madness will be released on Halloween this year.
The first-person title which blends Lovecraft monsters with Mars exploration has some interesting aspects.
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?
Moons of Madness will be heading to PC, PS4, and Xbox One this Spooky Season.

Dark Fantasy Dungeon Crawler ‘Verho: Curse of Faces’ Launches on Consoles on July 30 [Trailer]
PC gamers have been enjoying CobraTekku Games and developer Kasur Games’ Verho: Curse of Faces for almost a year. And now, console gamers will be able to get their hands on the King’s Field-inspired dark action RPG later this month when the game launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch on July 30. The release will coincide with the game’s “Chaos” content update.
First launching for PC via Steam and GOG last November, Verho: Curse of Faces takes place after the catastrophic Era of Solitude, where masks have become the only protection against the Curse of Faces, where revealing one’s face means instant death. Humanity was brought close to the brink. After 264 years of “the Era of Solitude,” a symbol of safety appeared in the form of Masks.
While the origins of the curse are still shrouded in mystery, many travelers still venture to the source of this curse in an attempt to reveal its secrets. You must travel to the land of Yariv, find the source of this scourge, and face its dangers. Will you strive to lift the curse from the world, or will you harness its power for your own ends?
