Man of Medan interview — How 2 players can share 1 story in new multiplayer mode

The developers of Until Dawn — my favorite game of 2015 — have come up with an innovative multiplayer mode with their latest horror game, Man of Medan, the first installment in a five-story anthology dubbed The Dark Pictures.

I attended a preview session aboard the USS Hornet, a spooky old ship that matches the ambiance of the derelict ship in Man of Medan. These games are created in a cinematic art style, with amazingly realistic, motion-captured human faces and bodies. It’s almost like being inside a supernatural horror movie, where you can play the characters in the film. But in contrast to a film, you get to make choices that determine the sequence of events and the ultimate fate of the characters.
