The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan - Intro

@@PurplePixie07 nah it’ll probably be more for these games now since it’s used a lot more here than just once in until dawn

[@animo358]

Still enjoy how everyone still calls him the Curator, when even the song and placement calls him Death.

[@scunnered9399]

take the red pill people!!!!

[@Fraukie_H]

Maybe because I am not the only one who is not so sure that he really is "death". How he acts reminds me more of a reaper.. I sure hope they get to that in the games following this one.

[@animo358]

But Death and the Reaper are same thing. The reaper is just a physical embodiment of the concept of death. Which would be all the more reason for his presence in the games and as a perpetuator of action and consequences.

[@animo358]

@@Fraukie_H And because, having rewatched some of the audio, he calls Death Inevitable, in the beginning of the game. Then, at the end, he says seeing him again is also inevitable.

[@KreeZafi]

My hypothesis is that he is indeed Death (or some type of reaper, whatever) as is heavily hinted at. But, the thing is that he is more than that. He collects stories, people's stories. One might say he..... curates them. So in my mind the "Curator" is a very fitting name. Death in this lore is a curator of stories. He certainly seems interested in them. In Little Hope he indicates that he seems quite interested in people, I could imagine him meeting someone as they are about to pass on and just having a chat with them because he's fascinated and wants to collect their story. He can also be seen in the background of the games occasionally, just watching the story unfold.

[@marvelfan2.059]

This is a fantastic intro. Just finished playing my first playthrough of Man of Medan now. Can`t wait for the next Dark Pictures game to come out. :) Update: Thanks for the many likes everyone.

[@Paradoxman92]

Imagine if this was a tv show like tales from the crypt. This would be an amazing intro!

[@KreeZafi]

Wait, that would genuinely make a great show though!! The Curator has a big collection of stories, it would totally work as a TV show that just has him presenting a new story each episode!!!

so this is my first time hearing this.

It fit... su[risingly well for the visuals of the curator walking through the hall
