Supermassive Games impressed me a few years ago with its narrative driven horror tropes game, Until Dawn. So when I heard that they’d started work on an anthology series and the first part, Man of Medan, was out I was interested.
You play as a group of friends who are kidnapped by pirates but escape onto a seemingly haunted World War II ship. Over the course of 3 to 4 hours you investigate the spooky goings on. It’s alright overall but falls short of its previous work as the characters aren’t very likable or relatable but that’s alright.
I played the game solo as I couldn’t find a pal to play on networked play but I don’t think it hindered the appeal of the game as an awkward game is an awkward game, but I do like the idea and hope they iterate on it for their next work, Little Hope. In the meantime, here’s screenshots from my playthrough.
