The Dark Pictures Anthology

The Dark Pictures Anthology is an anthology series of interactive drama and survival horror video games developed and published by Supermassive Games (first season published by Bandai Namco Entertainment). The anthology is planned to consist of eight games, with each game inspired by a different horror genre. Each game features five main characters whose survival depends on the choices made by the player. While each character only appears in one game, face models are often reused in other games, except those of the leading actors. The games use a third-person perspective and the ability to choose from various dialogue options and courses of action.

Man of Medan was revealed on 21 August 2018^[5] and released worldwide for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on 30 August 2019.^[6] PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions with enhanced visuals were released as a free upgrade on 27 September 2022, alongside an update for all platforms which included a new chapter, improved U.I., new difficulty and QTE settings, and other tweaks and features.^[7] A Nintendo Switch version was released on 4 May 2023.^[8] The game is inspired by the myth of the Ourang Medan, a suspected ghost ship from the 1940s, that wrecked after the crew all died under suspicious circumstances.^[9] During World War II, a storm causes a biochemical weapon onboard the SS Ourang Medan called Manchurian Gold to leak from crates. The gas causes the crew to see ghostly figures, causing all of the crew to die either from heart attacks or accidentally being attacked by their fellow crewmates. In the present day, Alex and his girlfriend Julia, as well as their respective brothers, Brad and Conrad, and their dive boat captain, Fliss are boarded by pirates. They eventually board the Ourang Medan, thinking that the Manchurian Gold is actually gold, although who boards the ghost ship and when depends on player choices. For the rest of the story, choices by the player determines who lives and dies, and if anyone is able to escape the ship after being exposed to the Manchurian Gold.^[10]

Little Hope was revealed as a post-credits trailer at the end of Man of Medan^[11] and released worldwide for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on 30 October 2020.^[12] A free upgrade for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S was released on 27 September 2022.^[7] The upgrade included enhanced visuals, improved U.I., new difficulty and QTE settings, amongst other tweaks and features. The game is inspired by the Salem witch trials of 1692, but also takes inspiration from a variety of films and games. Film inspirations include The Blair Witch Project (1999) and The Omen (1976), while the Silent Hill franchise is a key video game inspiration.^[13]

House of Ashes was first revealed in a post-credits teaser trailer at the end of Little Hope^[14] and released worldwide for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on 22 October 2021.^[15] The game is inspired by the films Aliens (1986), Predator (1987), and The Descent (2005); the book At the Mountains of Madness; and the myth of the Curse of Akkad.^[16]

The Devil in Me was revealed in a post-credits teaser trailer at the end of House of Ashes^[17] and released worldwide for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on 18 November 2022 as the season one finale of the anthology.^[18] The game is inspired by H. H. Holmes, America's first serial killer, and his "Murder Castle", as well as various slasher films including Psycho (1960), The Shining (1980), the Saw franchise, the Halloween franchise, and the Friday the 13th franchise.^[19][20]

Specifically The Thing for the devs have billed Directive 8020 as "The Thing in deep space".^[25]

In November 2022, Studio director Dan McDonald also said "game #6 is in its early design phase. Game #7, you know, we just started that as of yesterday [October 17th], in fact. But we've known for a long time what that's going to be, we just started kicking off with the game director working on it."^[22]

Common elements

The games in the series are horror-themed (with different genres of horror on each installment), and have players making decisions for their characters and watching their consequences play out. As discussed in Until Dawn, these games rely heavily on the butterfly effect,^{[citation needed]} and every decision the player makes can affect the ending the player can achieve. The games have support for co-operative multiplayer play, where each player controls one character.^[36]

All games are linked through The Curator, a character voiced by Pip Torrens and modelled on Tony Pankhurst who is present in each installment to introduce each individual story and occasionally converses with the player in his mysterious and strange place called The Repository. The Curator is a continuation of Supermassive Games' tradition of having "narrators" who appear in brief intermissions to give hints or cryptic clues, starting with Dr Hill the psychiatrist in Until Dawn and also later continuing with Eliza the fortune teller in The Quarry.^[37]

Art design

The skull logo is used in the official logo of the anthology, as well as variations of it on the cover art of all the main series games.

The series' main logo and all the games contain a skull prominently featured in their cover art. For the games, the skull contains teases for what is in the game, while also featuring the leading actor's character. Man of Medan's skull features a compass dial around the upper edge. Inside the skull features Conrad with the Ourang Medan in a greenish colorway next to him. Behind the skull is a map.^[38] Little Hope features Andrew in the foreground, with Mary near a fire and a hanging stick figure. Behind the skull is a burned map.^[39] House of Ashes features a skull with fangs as well as Rachel and a statue of Pazuzu. Behind the skull is a sandstone wall with various images including part of a map.^[40] The Devil in Me's skull has a piece of metal attached to the mouth with blood. Kate is featured, along with Du'Met and the World's Fair Hotel replica. A map of the area is featured in the background.^[41]

Development

After favourable reception of their 2015 title Until Dawn, developer Supermassive Games realized that there was a market for interactive drama horror games, and wanted to expand the concept to a larger audience.^[42] By 2018, Konami began soliciting pitches for future Silent Hill titles, including for an episodic series. Supermassive Games was among of those developers to pitch such title, but Konami ultimately turned them down in favor of collaborating with different developers. Their Silent Hill proposal was repurposed as the framework for the anthology series.^{[43][44][45][46][47]} Thus, The Dark Pictures Anthology series was created, with Man of Medan being the first of eight planned installments in the series. Supermassive Games stated that they plan on releasing the subsequent seven games every six months in the anthology, with each game based on a horror trope that will feature a unique story with no correlation to the other entries in the series.

In 2020, publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment described it as difficult to market as a series, as it was called an "anthology" while only having one entry; they considered it a long-term investment, that they thought would make more sense to players and would get a larger audience as more games become available.^[48]

Music

The music for the series is composed by Jason Graves,^[49] while the opening theme is a rendition of Conversations with Death, which was recorded in 2017 by American metal bands Khemmis and Spirit Adrift.^[50][51]

Sales

During its debut week, Man of Medan was the third best-selling physical game in the UK,^[66] and the best-selling in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia^[67] and reached one million copies sold worldwide after a year on sale.^[48] Little Hope's physical sales for its first week in the UK were 47% lower than Man of Medan's; GamesIndustry.biz commented that this may in part be due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a larger number of players buying digital versions of video games than in previous years.^[68]

Future

In February 2022, Supermassive Games filed trademarks for six potential future entries. Five featured the standard The Dark Pictures branding, subtitled The Craven Man, Directive 8020, Intercession, Winterfold, and Switchback. The sixth potential title, subtitled O Death, is instead branded The Dark Pictures Presents.^[69][70] Of these potential titles, so far Switchback VR^[3] and Directive 8020^[21] have been officially announced. Studio Director of the Anthology, Dan McDonald stated in a November 2022 interview that "we're having conversations about what's beyond [Game #8]", while adding that "ideas for a potential season three have already been kicking around for a while".^[22]
