Martian Insanity In ‘Moons Of Madness’

Norwegian game developer Rock Pocket Games is sending gamers to Mars where Lovecraftian horrors await in ‘Moons of Madness’. The game is a first-person psychological horror story where players take on the role of astronaut Shane Newhart who encounters supernatural events at the first research station on the red planet. The game takes a twist on the insanity element of the game where developers came up with a “Zone-Out” mechanic where players see through Shane’s eyes a mix of Shane’s past, events that have not happened yet or things Shane should not know but now does. These Zone-Out events are to add to the anxiety of the game for players making them question what information they are getting from these unique hallucinations are real or not. Keeping with true Lovecraft elements, when humanity thinks it understands the universe it throws a horrific curveball, exploring the unknown without really being prepared for it, ‘Moons of Madness’ is set to be released

Survival Horror & WWI In ‘Ad Infinitum’

‘Ad Infinitum’ means again and again in the same way; forever. Kind of along the lines of the saying, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” That seems to be hinting at what’s going to happen to players when they play StrixLab’s upcoming survival horror game, ‘Ad Infinitum’. According to the StrixLap website, the game takes place in a trench during the First World War but there are horrific creatures stalking around in them. While playing in first person, you have to solve puzzles, avoid traps and of course, avoiding the creatures whiles the lines of insanity and the horrors of war become blurred. The game is set to be released for PC and possibly for Console, the release date is unknown at this time but after seeing the trailer, I hope it’s soon and does make it to console!

‘The Last Of Us’ Is Being Adapted Into A Movie

I have great news for the fans of the video game ‘The Last Of Us’, the highly ranked video game that was released last June, is being adapted into a live action movie. Joel is a hardened smuggler, but when he is asked to get the fourteen year old daughter of a dying friend across the country to another quarantine zone, he agrees. The journey through the post pandemic America will change them both forever. Together they face groups of survivors, infected people and burden of fighting for survival. Sony’s Screen Gems production company will be distributing the movie. ‘The Last Of Us’ movie already has several impressive names attached to the project. Neil Drunkmann, the creative director of Naughty Dog Entertainment, will be writing the movie’s script. Sam Raimi and Naughty Dog Entertainment’s co-presidents Christophe Balestra and Evan Wells will also be involved in ‘The Last Of Us’, though there is no word exactly what title they will have.
