Moon horror games

In these games the moon is either where you are or what hangs over you. Some put you on a lunar base or a distant moon, alone in a station or a prison with something loose in the corridors. Others play out by moonlight, where a blood moon brings a horde to your walls, a strange moon watches over a cursed town, or its light is all that keeps the dead back.
