Don't Play Alone
From the developers of Until Dawn...

Enter the world of The Dark Pictures - A series of standalone cinematic horror games. Players will be challenged to explore and uncover each story with the knowledge that all their choices have consequences and all playable characters can live, any and all can die...

Man of Medan is the first game in The Dark Pictures anthology, bringing supernatural horror to the South Pacific. Five friends set sail on a holiday diving trip with a rumored WWII wreck to find. As the day unfolds and a storm rolls in, their trip soon changes into something much more sinister. Who will live? Who will die? It’s down to you. Can you save them all?

A Terrifying Experience​

Supermassive Games delivers a new, horrific narrative journey where you will have to confront your deepest fears.​

​

Can You Save Them All?​

All playable characters can live and all can die. The choices you make will decide their fate. Death could be just around the corner…​

​

What Will You Do To Survive?​

Each choice you make has a consequence which can mean life or death for your character. Will you keep your head whilst struggling to survive? What decisions will you make?​

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on August 30, publisher Bandai Namco and developer Supermassive Games announced.

Pre-orders will include day one access to the “Curator’s Cut” of the game. Here is an overview of the Curator’s Cut, via Bandai Namco:

The Curator’s Cut opens up a myriad of different options and an alternative path through the game, experienced from an entirely new perspective. The Curator’s Cut will reveal its secrets once the game has been completed once, from there, a new world of possibilities open up to players, including:

• A new perspective from different characters are unlocked.
• New options and choices are offered within each scene that requires player choice; new decisions means new outcomes to discover.
• New scenes and secrets not featured in the original playthrough are also unlocked.

Really looking forward to it!
The idea of a series of interactive "b-movies" really appeals to me.

[prudis]

[prudis]

`The first three [games] are well underway and the fourth and fifth are fairly well advanced from a narrative perspective.” He added that the team is already planning at least three more to follow.

Samuels also outlined a rough release schedule, saying that two entries should launch within any twelve-month window, suggesting that The Dark Pictures Anthology is a long-term venture for the team.

Wow, cool!
Just hope they'll put up pre-orders on Steam soon!

 

[TheGreenArrow]

I’m so excited for this. Until Dawn is one of my favorites.

I’m so excited for this. Until Dawn is one of my favorites.

I've never played it personally but I've watched some playthroughs and it looks like a fun game. Even though I already know the ending, I'd be there day1 if they'd release it on Steam somehow (I actually tried playing it through PS Now but the quality was too bad and I couldn't be arsed to connect a DS4 controller to play with).

 

[Sir Guts]

Looking forward to play this! Sadly we don’t have much variety in games recently. It’s either open-world or a shooter

 

[Milena]

Loved Until Dawn, I'm really glad this is coming to PC as well.

Wait, it's coming to Steam, right?

 

[lashman]

Wait, it's coming to Steam, right?

Bamco, so ... yes

[Deleted member 113]

Got my pre-order already in the European Bandai Namco store.

I had enough points to trade for a €20 discount voucher, so the game ended up costing me €9,99.

 

[Tizoc]

Gotta remember yo add this to the list.

 

[prudis]

We said… Don’t Play Alone… and now you don’t have to. Introducing Man of Medan multiplayer modes! 2 player online co-op and 2-5 player couch co-op.

 

[beep boop]

Waiting for reviews but if it's anything close to that first one they did, I'm all aboard.

 

[Milena]

Love the idea of couch co-op up to 5 people. I'll probably pre-order this is the next few weeks.

 

[prudis]

See things from a different perspective! Pre-order now and get early access to The Curator's Cut.

I'm still unable to play the first game, because me (and plenty of other users) are experiencing issues with the cutscenes, and the developer/publisher never patched it.

THE DARK PICTURES: HOUSE OF ASHES

At the close of the Iraq War, Special Forces hunting for weapons of mass destruction unearth something far deadlier – a buried Sumerian temple containing a nest of unearthly creatures. To survive the night below, they must forge a brotherhood with their enemies from the world above.

The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of standalone, cinematic branching horror games where the decisions you make in the game determine the story and the outcome you receive.

House of Ashes is the third game in the series.

Iraq, 2003. As the conflict draws to a close a Military Unit, accompanied by CIA field operative Rachel King, is ordered to investigate a suspected underground chemical weapons facility in shadow of the Zagros Mountains.

Arriving at the coordinates, the search party is ambushed by a local patrol led by Sergeant Salim Othman.

During the battle, an earth tremor opens sinkholes in the ground, pitching both sides into the ruins of a buried Sumerian temple and, in the darkness beneath the Arabian Desert, something evil is awakened. Savage and unstoppable, a nest of ancient and unearthly creatures have a new prey to hunt.

Horrific discoveries and impossible decisions face the Unit as they strive to navigate a subterranean labyrinth and escape the terrifying threat.

Will they each prioritise their own survival, or put aside their fears and their personal rivalries to fight together as one?

Buried deep underground, something unearthly awaits…

---

Trapped in a buried temple, unaware that something ancient and evil has awakened in the shadows…

Deep underground, something evil has awakened.

Descend into the underworld in The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes, coming to PS4/PS5, Xbox One & Series X|S and PC on 22 October 2021.
