About The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan in brief
Man of Medan is the first of eight planned instalments in The Dark Pictures Anthology series. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 30 August 2019. A successor, Little Hope, was released on 30 October 2020. The game is played from a third-person perspective in which single players or multiplayers assume control of five different characters that become trapped on board a ghost ship. Decisions made by the player alter the outcome of the story and the fates of its characters. Players can also uncover the mystery surrounding the tragedy that occurred on the ship in the past, which can help save their character’s lives in the present. The story was inspired by the urban legend of the SS Ourang Medan, which is about a shipwreck in Dutch East Indies in the late 1940s.
The ship is revealed to carry a powerful hallucinogen known as Manchurian Gold, which was being transported to the United States in 1947. The effects of which caused the American soldiers and crewmen onboard to kill each other. The gas is still potent enough today that characters can still hallucinate, and is a major factor in decision-making. The narrative changes and adapts to the choices that the players make, thus making it possible for players to keep all playable characters alive or to have some of them die. There are multiple endings and multiple scenarios based on the decisions that the player makes.
