Moons of Madness: This first person horror game credits it's creepy and horrific atmosphere to H. With some better thought out puzzles this has the makings of a very good game. This game needs a few more hints or a plain old instruction on some of its less logical areas. In other cases you just suddenly die and have to go figure out why. Some semblance of instructions would have been helpful here. Failure to figure this out and you will keep failing the QTE and dying. This is never explained and is only done in 1 or 2 cases. There are a few QTEs in the game and while you are normally used to button mashing for them sometimes you actually have to focus on the QTE indicator first. These puzzles should have been rethought. So you end up moving the first dial a little at a time and then the second dial through its range until you find the magic range they both need. Yet any # of other locations on that same dial will give strength as well, just not enough. Unless the first dial is in the spot it needs to be in you will never get enough strength.

Moving 2 different dials controls that but as you move one dial the numbers go up and down.

The satellite dish in particular followed this path as you have to get to a certain signal strength. Even online most people just give you the answer without an explanation because, again, there is no logic to the answer. Unless you want to fiddle with fake dials for an hour the best option is to get the solution online. This is pretty much a guessing game as there is no logical rationale around how it works. But in at least 2 cases you have to properly arrange a series of dials and levers to get something to the correct numbers. The puzzles, for the most part, are reasonable. The 2 biggest complaints I have about this game are the puzzles and the instant deaths.

Overall it is just the right length and I didn't notice any bugs. This game has none and yet still you will die frequently, for other reasons. Many games try to shoe horn combat in because 'it's required'. Many games try to shoe horn combat Overall an easy sci-fi horror with an interesting story and no combat.
