Is the story in Man of Medan different at all whether you're playing solo or multiplayer?

I'm planning on playing with my wife on the movie night mode, but if it is just us passing the controller, then why not just play a solo game and pass the controller everytime there's a perspective change?

I was curious about this too, I just looked it up and according to this: https://blog.us.playstation.com/2019/07/11/supermassive-confirms-multiplayer-for-man-of-medan-heres-how-it-works/

"... In Movie night mode, five people (you and up to four of your friends) can play couch co-op. Each player can enter their name and choose which character (or characters) to play, then simply pass the pad whenever that character is the focus of the game. You can explore, react, and make decisions to keep your character alive and stay in the game. When prompted, simply pass the controller onto the next player so that they can continue with their character. Periodically, the game will present a summary of how each player has played. We were so impressed by the innovative and collaborative ways people played Until Dawn together that we created this feature to help facilitate that way of playing."


And for the other mode: "... First up, some details. We’ve announced two multiplayer modes for The Dark Pictures Anthology — Shared Story mode and Movie Night mode. In Shared Story you’ll play online with a friend, making choices that affect both of you. We really hope you enjoy the intensity of experiencing the story with a friend… and that you are still friends after!"

So I guess the main difference would seem to be the summary of how we're playing in the movie night mode as opposed to not having one in solo mode?

Thanks for the reply.
