The Dark Pictures – Man of Medan
Supermassive Games is doing the exact thing I hoped the studio would do after wrappingUntil Dawn:it’s making a horror anthology series. The concept isn’t explored enough in gaming, and these are the folks to pull it off. The first title on the docket isMan of Medan, a story about friends who become stranded on what turns out to be a ghost ship. Can you keep them all alive? Do you evenwantto?
Today’s trailer introduces The Curator, an illusive figure played by Pip Torrens. Supermassive describes him as an “omniscient observer of the protagonists’ progress and choices,” which should soundmighty familiar. Starting withMan of Medan, The Curator will appear in every title in theDark Picturesseries.
I haven’t seen much buzz forThe Dark Picturesanthology yet, but seeing as howMan of Medanisn’t out until 2019 (for PC, PS4, and Xbox One), there’s plenty of time left for the marketing machine to do its thing and reach all of the people who fell in love withUntil Dawnin the years after it launched.
There’s a market for spooky adventure games, and I’m stoked someone’s making them.
