The Dark Pictures
Anthology: Man of Medan brings supernatural horror to the South
Pacific. A group of 4 young Americans and their skipper Fliss set
sail on a holiday diving trip with a rumoured WWII wreck to find.
With a WWII wreck to find and lots of on-deck partying to be had it
should be the trip of a lifetime....but will it be a trip they can
survive with their life still intact?
As the day unfolds and a
storm rolls in, their trip soon changes into something much more
sinister as they find themselves trapped on board a ghost ship.
Subjected to unimaginable stress and terror, they must try to find a
way to escape the ship and its sinister history.
Who will live? Who will
die? It’s down to you. Can you save them all?
So that gamers can share
the enjoyment of play this creatively immersive horror game with
their friends the game can be played in multi-player. There are 2
multi-player modes -
* Shared Story – online

a friend, making choices that effect you both.
* Movie Night - up to 5
players play together offline on the couch where each player controls
a different character.

This sounds great. I love horrors and supernatural horrors are an added bonus. Never played a horror game before though!!!! Must be fun :-)
ReplyDeleteHorror games terrify me! I enjoy watching other people play them (so I can hide behind a pillow at the extra scary bits) but I can never play them myself. Although I like that there are multiplayer options on this game so you can rope in friends to play with you. I'd be too scared to play alone!
ReplyDeleteMy oldest son loves horror movies. These games sound like they'd be right up his alley, and a nice holiday gift.
ReplyDeleteNot so sure I could play this as a solo player! I think I'd be far too scared!!! Looks great for a party of players though x
ReplyDeleteThis looks like something my son would potentially enjoy, he loves a good scare whether its film or game!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really interesting game, I have to admit I used to love playing a good horror game. Perhaps I need to get back into them!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you could get horror games, think this would give me nightmares
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a very cool game, something I will be checking out, for sure. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really into computer games but my husband would love this!
