The plot for Man of Medan starts light-hearted but soon shifts to a hellish sequence of events. It begins with a group of friends joining a boat party and later deciding to go on a deep-sea dive to explore the sunken wreckage of an antique ship. However, if they knew the events that would take place later, they probably would have thought twice before taking the plunge.
In terms of gameplay, players need to make quick decisions and actions over the course of this chilling interactive drama. As a way of helping them, the game has a unique feature known as "dark pictures." Once they find one of them, their character senses a premonition of events that can happen in the future. It's up to them on how to correctly interpret these visions and save the protagonists from their doom.
