7/10
Not quite 'Until Dawn', but it works.
23 February 2021
Five friends set sail on a holiday diving trip with a rumoured 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?

Man of Medan kicks off The Dark Pictures Anthology elegantly and subtly chilling with a solid, entertaining horror experience from Supermassive Games. Whilst the game isn't as emotionally impactful as Until Dawn, and the characters not nearly as interesting and fleshed-out the game makes up for with gripping, beautiful, and giddily silly horror. Technical issues, a rushed story, and a confusing approach to player choices halt the game from reaching the same levels as Until Dawn. Overall, Man of Medan is a fun, entertaining horror experience but I'm hoping Supermassive Games can scare up something a little more substantial for future The Dark Pictures titles.
