March 2025

the first game in the dark pictures anthology its banging and with friends its even better for the first they nailed it.

Jan. 2025

Man of Medan works alright as a horror B movie but it lacks the flair and finesse of Until Dawn. A large part of this is because the story isn't adequately fleshed out. Despite decent VA, the script is subpar and characters often lack proper emotional responses - not to mention odd facial animations and the occasional visual glitch. Spooky jump scares in MoM are aplenty. These are fun to experience with a friend and while making different choices is intriguing and can lead to a character's early demise, MoM's ultimate reveal is underwhelming. Supermassive punctuates each chapter with brief commentary from the curator, an observer NPC who judges your gameplay but doesn't hold a candle to the disturbing presence of Dr. Hill or the Quarry's fortune teller. Still, choices-matter games like these are, much like pure stealth, painfully infrequent so I am grateful for a short unspectacular journey rather than nothing at all. Buy on sale. Achievement hunters please note that one of the trophies requires playing co-op with a friend online.

Dec. 2024

Man of Medan was my first choice-based multiplayer game, and I had a great time playing it with a friend. The quick decision-making and jump scares kept the tension high, and the intense situations made it a thrilling experience. The gameplay was enjoyable, though there were a few bugs here and there. Given the game’s age, this was understandable. The graphics still hold up well and added to the eerie atmosphere, making the story even more immersive. Overall, it was a unique and fun experience. If you’re into multiplayer games with a focus on choice and suspense, Man of Medan is definitely worth a try!

June 2024

I love when a game is based on a "true story" and then adds its own spin on it. It's a fun and quality experience, but the main plot point is blatantly obvious in the first 15 minutes of the game. 8/10

Man of Medan is an interactive drama and paranormal horror game. It is part of the The Dark Pictures Anthology series. It’s a game where 5 characters can be played by you or with a small group of other players. The evolution of the story is influenced by the player's choice and those choices can alter relationships between each character. I found that this game had a slow start, meaning that it took me a while to get into the story. But when I got grabbed by it, I completed the game quite fast. I had quite a few jump scares! Graphics and sounds are nice! I think that it’s better to play this game with a controller instead of the keyboard. I found it was harder to control characters with a keyboard than the controller. The story is about 4 friends and a captain going on a boat on an expedition to find a WWII wreck. While on the expedition, they get caught in a storm and find the shipwreck. They say that this game is inspired by the urban legend of SS Ourang Medan, a ghost ship. Strange things happen on this boat and you’ll have to focus on keeping all characters alive. Unfortunately, in my first play through, I managed to save only 3 of them. Took me about 4-5 hours to complete the story once. To fully understand the story, I think the game needs to be played more than once. Happy gaming! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2938501105 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3247412981 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3247413018 ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☑ Beautiful ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☑ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☐ Teens ☑ Adults ☑ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☐ Potato ☑ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☐ Old Fashioned ☑ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☑ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☐ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☑ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☑ Short ☐ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☐ Worth the price ☑ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☑ 7 ☐ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10 ---{ Author }--- ☑ https://vojtastruhar.github.io/steam-review-template
