Overall, it’s a pretty good entry into the Dark Pictures Anthology and follows after the Until Dawn formula of Interactive Drama. Unfortunately for everyone, the shipwreck is not as it seems and there’s something sinister in the wings. Unfortunately for them, other people want to do the same thing, and they’re accosted by pirates. In this case, a group of friends goes on a pretty standard adventure in their eyes to salvage a shipwreck. The first of the 3 released games in The Dark Pictures Anthology is the Man of Medan, with the game taking place in the South Pacific within spitting distance of French Polynesia. However, they’re all linked and are in the same universe with The Curator guiding the players in all the installments. All of the installments in the Anthology have their unique settings. Half a year before that will be teasers of the newest installments. One thing to note though, is that the Dark Pictures Anthology is usually released yearly, specifically during Autumn. The Devil in Me, the last game for the first “season” is slated to release this 2022. The ones released are Man of Medan, Little Hope, and House of Ashes. Of those 8, 3 have already been released, with a 4th one underway. However, it compensates for this because there are supposed to be 8 of them in total. Alone they’re not as huge as Until Dawn, with its over 150 endings. The Dark Pictures are a series of interactive horror games each with its own unique stories and sequence of events.

The first set of games like Until Dawn we need to talk about is the Dark Pictures saga.
