Tied up with PlayStation exclusivity for the best part of the studio's existence, the shackles are off for Supermassive Games and Man of Medan, the first in a planned anthology of horror adventure games known as The Dark Pictures. They're the same folks behind the excellent PS4 exclusive Until Dawn, providing us a good idea of what to expect from this ghostly tale aboard an abandoned ship. 

The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan comes to PC on August 29th but, in the meantime, here are the PC system specs to feast on.
