None of them are very challenging, and the puzzles only really serve to pad out the time between story dumps. Once hacked into a device, you can solve a variety of puzzles like connecting pipelines and basic math problems. The central mechanic in Moons of Madness is an ability that can be used to scan the environment and hack into machines. Where the story runs all over the place and has some highs to balance out the lows, the gameplay is rote to a fault. A lot of the storytelling is presented by computer logs you can find littered around the world, but even after reading all of them nothing really becomes any more interesting or complex. Plotlines are introduced and dropped at a rapid pace and there’s no real conclusion for any of them: there’s an evil corporation, family drama, clones, and of course the omnipresent Lovecraftiness of it all.

It’s a tense and short sequence that does a good job of setting the tone for Moons of Madness while introducing its primary motifs: tentacles, strange chanting, and a mysterious woman who seems to have a personal grudge against Shane.

Protagonist Shane Newehart, an engineer for the space exploration company Orochi, awakens into a literal nightmare version of the space station he calls home.
