definitely the worst game in s1. only giving a thumbs up because it introduced a lot of the mechanics, the curator & some other key aspects of the series. it looks alright but is kinda buggy. your choices do matter just less than the other games in the series & the twist was stupid imo...

What to say about this one, it almost made me to think is the story of the game is tricking me All Characters are weird at starting even i was thinking what's going than i realize i am enjoying it fun fact story is a lil bit confusing but interest sci fic horror or you can say psychological horror give it a try it will make you happy if you choose correct actions good luck

I find it best in the entire Dark pictures anthology ... The optimization is amazing .. caz other games in this series they ran fine but there was a little bit of the lag and stuff .. but here there is no such thing .. smooth .. and the story is also pretty ok .. i would say ...... These guys enter a ghostship and they don't even wear any thing i mean no gear.. some even walk bare foot.. but the ship is many years old . .these guy rome and get brusises like there was no tatanus ever existed ..........

Man of Medan was a really fun time. This is the second game I've played in The Dark Pictures Anthology, and I have to say... I actually enjoyed this story more than House of Ashes. Don't get me wrong—both games are really good—but Man of Medan was just more my style. The story gave me major Ghost Ship vibes, and if you've ever seen that movie, you'll probably understand exactly why I was hooked. Creepy abandoned ship? Strange paranormal events? A mystery that slowly unravels as you explore? Sign me up. Like the other Supermassive Games titles, Man of Medan focuses heavily on player choice. Every decision you make has consequences, and the story changes depending on who lives, who dies, and the choices you make along the way. It's one of my favorite mechanics because it makes every decision feel important, even if you're completely panicking while trying to make it. I wouldn't put the story on the same level as Until Dawn. For me, Until Dawn is still the gold standard when it comes to these cinematic choice-based horror games. But that doesn't take anything away from Man of Medan. The story kept me invested the whole way through, and I genuinely enjoyed seeing all of the twists …

This is my second favourite game of The Dark Pictures Anthology. Its story is interesting and it's characters grew on me. If you like games about being on and exploring a ghost ship, then this game is for you!
