#HAND OF FATE GHOST OF THE SEA SERIES#

The game can be played multiple times, as there are multiple endings and multiple scenarios based on the decisions that the players make. Choices also affect the characters' personality traits (which affects subsequent cutscenes and dialogue options), as well as their relationships with each other. The narrative changes and adapts to the choices that the players make, thus making it possible for players to keep all playable characters alive or to have some (or all) of them die. The selection of options are stylised as a compass, which is both representative of the characters' 'moral compass' and reflective of the game's nautical themes. Players are required to make decisions based on their character's 'head' or their 'heart', or can choose for them to do nothing, while selecting between different options when interacting with other characters. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan is a horror themed video game played from a third-person perspective in which single or multiple players assume control of five different characters that become trapped on board a ghost ship. Whether or not the vision comes true depends on player actions. Interacting with collectable pictures, such as a black-framed one that a character named Fliss finds in a boat, triggers a premonition of what may happen later in the game. A second game in the anthology, Little Hope, was released on 30 October 2020, and its successor House of Ashes was released on 22 October 2021.

Man of Medan was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 30 August 2019. Shawn Ashmore stars as the game's leading actor, playing one of the diving squad's members named Conrad. After a hostile encounter with a group of modern day pirates, the five protagonists are forced by said pirates to sail the seas and search for something called the 'Manchurian Gold', subsequently coming across what seems to be a ghost ship where they encounter visions of phantom creatures. Taking place in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean near French Polynesia, Man of Medan focuses on four college students and the captain of the boat Duke of Milan who embark on a diving trip in pursuit of the remains of a WWII-era plane.
