The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan

Five friends head out on a diving holiday and end up aboard a derelict ship surrounded by unsettling mysteries. You guide the group through a cinematic horror story, making decisions that affect their relationships and whether each character survives.

Explore the ship, inspect objects and clues, choose dialogue and actions, and react to danger with quick-time events. Choices can alter later scenes and events, while missed prompts can put characters at risk.

Play alone or share the story in multiplayer, including online co-op. Different decisions can reveal alternate scenes and endings, and the Curator’s Cut—available after completing the main story—lets you experience new scenes from other characters’ perspectives.

Players who enjoy Man of Medan often praise the eerie ship setting, cinematic presentation, and the tension of making choices that can change events and character fates. Co-op is a recurring highlight, with players enjoying the shared decisions and disagreements over outcomes; some also value replaying to see alternate scenes and endings. Other reviews criticize the short runtime, awkward camera and controls, predictable or uneven writing, jump scares, and technical glitches, so reactions to the experience are mixed.
