Description

The Dark Pictures Anthology brings together the first two installments of Supermassive Games' horror series. Man of Medan Until Dawn attracted its fair share of praise. Even among those who found fault with it, there was a general acceptance that Supermassive Games had created something deeply compelling in the realm of cinematic, very narrative-focused games (it is, it has to be said, an underpopulated realm). It was a happy day, then, when the studio finally releases the first title of its follow-up anthology series - The Dark Pictures: Man Of Medan. It's not a sequel, but it very much builds on the successes of Until Dawn - a winding tale that has you pick your own narrative line through a very deadly horror story. The game follows four teens and the captain of the boat they've hired on a trip to the rumoured site of a sunk WWII ship. When a boat full of pirates shows up with a storm hot on its tail, you need to guide one of the characters through a series of events that promises life-changing decisions and supernatural horror. If one of the characters dies as a result of your decisions, they're dead. But each character is playable and has their own storyline, so you could always try again from another point of view. Things get particularly interesting with multiplayer modes. Play online with a friend, or offline in 'movie night' mode, which has you each taking a character and passing the pad. Will you co-operate, or will you try to maximise your own chances of survival, potentially at the expense of your friends? Your choices might well haunt you... Little Hope Just in time for Halloween comes Dark Pictures: Little Hope, creeping towards you from the shadows and whispering that you're going to die, promising more mystery, darkness and extremely tough decisions. The game follows another Hollywood-voiced cast of 20-somethings just trying to make it through the night. Trapped in the town of Little Hope - a spot renowned for its witch trials (of which you'll be seeing a lot) - you'll alternate between your five characters and try to make the choices that will get them through the dark alive. There's a pretty good chance you'll fail. Get one of your guys killed? Doesn't mean the game's over. It's all about the story. Little Hope is a very cinematic take on the interactive movie, Telltale style of adventure game. Every decision you make on behalf of one of your characters will weight the scales, tipping events towards one of many endings. It's tense stuff, and there's a constant feeling that someone's looking over your shoulder saying 'oh, you're doing THAT?' If you're looking for a sound night's sleep, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a game that will linger in the back of your mind as you turn out the lights, look no further...
