Sharing May Not Always Be Caring In Man Of Medan

Man Of Medan

It has been announced that Man Of Medan, and all of The Dark Pictures Anthology titles, will have co-op and multiplayer to survive the horrors coming with Man Of Medan

In an interesting plot twist for Man Of Medan, it looks like the horror title will no longer be a single-player game in general. In fact, it looks like all of the titles in The Dark Pictures Anthology will house multiple ways to play the game besides solo mode. This includes being able to play online and couch co-op for those wondering. All with two new modes that Supermassive Games has to show us for Man Of Medan. Those being the Shared Story Mode and Movie Night Mode that will be hitting the PS4, Xbox One, and PC versions of the game. Some seem easier to work in, but it will be a thing all around.

The long and short of it all will be that you can still play Man Of Medan all by your lonesome if you choose. If the horror is too much or you want the extra challenge, you can go with Shared Story that will take you online with a co-op mode where each player will affect the other's with their own choices and actions. It also looks like they will also have the option to play some of the QTE portions in Man Of Medan that could lead to your death or theirs depending on how it all plays out. More or less, you need to make sure you are playing with someone who does not go AFK/C too often while going about it.

If you want more of a challenge, or safety net for the scare factor, you can go with the Movie Night mode for Man Of Medan that will have up to five players taking control of the game. It will all be a pass and play style of mode where each player can control a different character and make all of the choices for them. Those choices also coming back to haunt all of the other players, but making it a shared story for the group to enjoy instead of just one person. None the less, it looks like there will be multiple ways for us all to experience Man Of Medan and the whole of The Dark Pictures, which is always a good thing.
