Supermassive Games (the creators of Until Dawn) have released more information about the first entry in the upcoming Dark Pictures Anthology of games!

Supermassive Games created Until Dawn, which was one of my favourite games on the PS4. It was a cinematic horror game with an awesome branching storyline. I highly recommend it. I am looking forward to seeing what this great studio has in store for gamers in 2019. They recently announced ‘The Dark Pictures Anthology’ (a series of stand-alone, cinematic branching horror games). The first in the series is called Man of Medan and is launching in 2019.

Here is the synopsis and new trailer:

Man of Medan is the first game in the Dark Pictures Anthology, bringing supernatural horror to the South Pacific. As the player you’ll get to shape the story through your actions and decisions. Who will live, who will die – It’s all down to you…

Each game in the Dark Pictures Anthology will have a brand new story, setting and characters. The studio will be exploring various horror sub-genres. Until Dawn let players make various decisions throughout the game and forced players to deal with the consequences. I really enjoyed this style of gameplay as it also added a lot of replay value. This is also going to be the case with Man of Medan!

Man of Medan sees a number of characters trapped on a Ghost Ship. They must find a way to escape before it’s too late. As with Until Dawn, characters in Man of Medan can actually die. The story may continue without certain characters as well. This adds a lot of realism to the game and forces you to actually think about which choices you make during the game, especially if you want to protect your favourite character. Here is what the developers have said about this:

Man of Medan, like all the games in the Dark Pictures Anthology, is hugely replayable. In fact there is more branching in Man of Medan than any of our previous games. There are multiple endings and multiple scenarios based on the decisions you make in the game. Be careful though as all the playable characters can live, and any and all of them can die, depending on the choices you make.
