Man of Medan came out earlier this year, and one of its most interesting ideas is its social aspects. Linear horror games like this are normally built for just one player, but Supermassive Games embraced the notion of getting a whole room involved in the adventure.

It’s a fun, creepy story with a lot of walking around, investigating, and trying to steer clear of the baddies while keeping your friends alive. Decisions matter, and the psychiatrist storyteller guy likes to remind you of that. Sometimes the graphics look great, and sometimes they don’t. It’d give it a 7 out of 10. Worth the time, but keep the expectations in check.
Interested to see how the multiplayer happens. Also speaking about horror games, I could REALLY go for a Parasite Eve remake. Or at least a horror game with that level of action.
