Blood Moon Horror: Built for fearless squads
Released into Steam Early Access on October 27, 2025, Blood Moon Horror is the solo-built survival horror project from Blood Moon Games.
Blood Moon Horror is a multiplayer co-op survival horror title from Blood Moon Games, built in Unreal Engine 5 for Windows PC on Steam. Up to eight players enter Lunar Base Alpha after the Red Horizon incident as the Ashlight Recovery team. The current public hook is simple and sharp: no weapons, no backup, restore failing systems, recover evidence, and escape threats that react to sound, light, movement, and power.
