Who doesn’t like a good survival horror? That’s rhetorical. Inspired by the excellent TV series, Black Mirror, and games such as Outlast, Resident Evil and the ultimate Silent Hill, Dark Moonlight is one to pay attention to.

Dark Moonlight’s press material suggests imagining what it’s like to be controlled by fear, having daily rituals to combat that where each day can be unbearable. I think it’s fair to say that many of us don’t have to imagine it, having lived with these conditions or managing them now.

In the game from Silent Bear Studio and Black Rose Projects, your character, Dave Kellerman, is tired of unreliable medication and tries out an experimental treatment. It’s supposed to be 100% safe and thoroughly tested, but you know what that means. You don’t? It means none of that is likely to be true.

Key features in Dark Moonlight include:

  • A captivating story exploring human fears and phobias. Join Dave Kellerman on his journey through his twisted mind.
  • A horrifyingly beautiful world. Explore a unique universe built of diversified locations differing in looks, atmosphere, and hidden threats.
  • Nightmarish monsters lurking in the dark. Face hair-rising creatures you’d rather never stumble upon. Kill them before they kill you, and remember that in this world, the filth that inhabits it can rise from the grave.
  • Twisted riddles and clever puzzles to solve. The human mind can be our best friend or worst enemy. Stay at the top of your game and use all your wits to keep progressing through the game.
  • A test of your survival skills. Weapons, ammo, first aid kits – all are extremely rare and incredibly hard to find. Make sure you ration them well once they come into your possession.

Waking in a living nightmare, you’re in a strange place and have limited resources (ammo) to survives, solving puzzles to secure your freedom and ultimate sanity.

Here’s the trailer for Dark Moonlight:

Looking a bit like Lust From Beyond, which is great; this is a game you need to add to your wishlist.
