You are being pursued by a tentacle monster. Moons of Madness is unique as Lovecraftian media because it almost immediately confirms that this is all real. In fact, the most compelling part of Moons of Madness was its story and pacing. Other than a few goofy “bro what if dreams are real and we aren’t” moments, I found it compelling. I won’t get into the story, but I think it’s good. The madness encroaches, a monster appears, and before long the black tendrils begin to all-consume. And as you already guessed, the dream was a premonition.

During the first few tasks, while Shane is fixing the plumbing and adjusting the TV antennae, we find that others at the base are having nightmares as well. But Shane is having horrible nightmares, ones of all-consuming black tendrils and a ghostly woman wandering nude outside.
Anyways Shane is employed at this mars base whose goal is to either find (eldritch) life on mars, or create some, maybe both. In practice he’s got more of a Groundskeeper Willie type role. Actually, engineer kind of implies he’s constructing or designing something. In Moons of Madness you play as Shane Newehart, an engineer on a mars base. And in my opinion, other than some gameplay issues, they do it very well. Rather than explicitly show you visions of the R’lyeh, Moons explores the idea of scientists using eldritch stuff in their experiments and why that is actually a really bad idea. Lovecraft benefits from the exact opposite of “show, don’t tell.” For a game that had massive tentacles on its advertisement, to my surprise Moons of Madness does this fairly well. A big man with a squid head and bat wings is silly, to say the least. I mean, every picture I’ve ever seen of Cthulhu is ridiculous. So to depict it is to show how it’s actually not insane. The point of eldritch horror is that it is so mind bendingly insane that your brain literally cannot comprehend it. I’m of the opinion that Lovecraftian video games are inherently contradictory.
