Man of Medan is the first game in an anthology. It's by Supermassive, the developers behind Until Dawn, which I liked a lot, despite not liking teen horror movies at all. It's slated for 2019.
The team behind PlayStation 4 horror adventure game âUntil Dawnâ are working on a series of stand-alone, cinematic branching horror games called âThe Dark Pictures Anthology,â Supermassive Games CEO Pete Samuels announced Tuesday.
The first in the series, which is coming to PlayStation4, Windows PC, and Xbox One, is called Man of Medan and is set to launch next year.
âAt Supermassive, we have a passion to deliver powerful cinematic stories and weâre following on from titles like âUntil Dawnâ and âThe Inpatientâ by telling new horror stories that we expect the fans will want to play,â Samuels writes. âEach game in the series will feature a brand new story, setting, and characters. âThe Anthologyâ format gives us the opportunity to tap into a variety of horror sub-genres. Weâve identified 39 that weâd love to represent in the Anthology, but that would take some time!â
In Man of Medan, players will explore the store of a group of four young Americans and their skipper as they head out on a dive boat in the South Pacific in search of a rumored WWII wreck. The game, Samuels writes, is meant to be âhugely replayable.â
âIn fact, there is more branching in Man of Medan than any of our previous games,â he wrote. âThere 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.â

I really enjoyed watching others play Until Dawn (didn't have a PS4 then, but I have the game now... just haven't played it). I watched entire playthroughs of that game. Looks neat.
Arg, this thread just reminded me I have to play Until Dawn!
Good game. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It's not too long, maybe 12 hours or so.
I'm interested in this. The jerky movements of the heads when they talk is a bit distracting though.
