Funcom announced that it will publish a sci-fi horror game, Moons of Madness, from developer Rock Pocket Games. The title will debut on the PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 during the Halloween season this year.

Set in the not-so-distant-future on Mars, Moons of Madness mixes the scientific exploration of the red planet with the supernatural dread in the style of H.P. Lovecraft’s horror stories. From the look of the trailer, I can see influences from Dead Space, Mass Effect, and Prey.
