There doesn’t seem to be a particular uniting theme with these nasties (unlike say, the wendigos in Until Dawn) other than that they scream a lot, but they’re effectively unnerving. The bulk of Man of Medan takes place on an abandoned World War 2 Freighter where a plethora of spooks – and a handful of aggressive humans – await to send the cast to Hell with a bullet, a knife, or a jaw full of jagged teeth. But that’s never really mattered in a game where half the fun is watching all of them get murdered, because even characters who are dull on the outside are full of blood and guts on the inside!And die they will, repeatedly.
Supermassive has moved away from Until Dawn’s campy cast of horror stereotypes to a gang that’s more firmly based in reality, and with a couple of exceptions - Shawn Ashmore’s fun-loving Conrad and Chris Sandiford’s jittery Brad - they’re mostly unremarkable. Man of Medan’s po-faced sincerity translates to a weaker cast of characters.
