Evaluation
Moons of Madness launched on October 22, 2019 as a complete, story-driven single-player horror game. In the months following launch, the developer issued several bug-fix and polish patches through November 2019, which is standard post-launch maintenance for a finished product.
The only post-launch content of note was Cyrano Story (April 17, 2020), a free standalone companion experience released on its own Steam page — it was a separate app, not a DLC expansion to Moons of Madness itself.
Since mid-2020, there have been no further updates, patches, or announcements related to Moons of Madness. The two most recent news posts on the game's Steam page (January 2025) were promotional announcements for Somber Echoes, Rock Pocket Games' new title — they used the Moons of Madness page to cross-promote a bundle, not to announce any new content for Moons of Madness itself.
There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmap, and no developer statement indicating further content is planned. The store description presents the game as a complete narrative experience with no mention of ongoing updates or future content. Moons of Madness launched as a finished single-player game and has remained so.

About this game
A mysterious signal has been recorded coming from the red planet.
The message confounded Orochi scientists. Their analysts broke it down and determined it was of intelligent origin. Orochi management immediately concluded that the discovery was too sensitive for public knowledge and moved to keep it hidden. In secret, the corporation began construction of Trailblazer Alpha, a state-of-the-art Mars research outpost designed to identify the true nature of the message.
You are Shane Newehart, an engineer stationed at Trailblazer Alpha and your security clearance means you are completely unaware of the existence of the mysterious signal. Your job is simply to keep the lights on until the transport ship Cyrano arrives bringing with it a new team to take over your duties.
Soon you discover strange and unusual setbacks. Crucial systems are malfunctioning, the greenhouse is filled with a strange mist and the rest of your team has yet to return from their EVA mission.
Things are starting to fall apart.
You begin seeing and hearing things that aren’t there. Visions, hallucinations – or is that even what it is? Is this real… or are you slowly descending into madness?
