Our hypothesis: even if it means having to make concessions on machine power, Supermassive wanted to approach the cinematic experience as closely as possible. Indeed, in dark rooms, the reels run at 24 frames per second (although some films are now trying 48 FPS).
24 FPS chrono
Apart from this technical specificity, Man of Medan comes with all the content of the original version, plus the Flood expansion (which adds an additional chapter) and the Curator’s Cut game mode, which allows you to replay the entire story by following alternate characters. Enough to inflate the replayability of this narrative horror title in the vein of Until Dawn where every choice counts. It is possible to cross Man of Medan two online or five locally with a voting system to collectively direct progress.
Man of Medan revisits the concept of the ghost ship by following five friends who have gone diving to find a treasure from the Second World War. Already that their relations are not looking good, the atmosphere becomes even more stormy when a disturbing giant wreck appears in the mist and a squad of pirates falls on their saddle. The cast is led by Shawn Ashmore, who already held the lead role in Remedy’s Quantum Break. We also met him in the skin of Iceberg from X-Men.
Bandai Namco and Supermassive Games haven’t said if the other Dark Pictures Anthology installments will also be coming to Nintendo’s hybrid console.
Man of Medan is available now on Switch for $19.99.
