Description




Discover a dark mystery only a medium can solve. Explore the real world and the spirit world at the same time. Use your psychic abilities to solve puzzles spanning both worlds, uncover deeply disturbing secrets, and survive encounters with The Maw - a monster born from an unspeakable tragedy..



The Medium is a third-person psychological horror game that features patented dual-reality gameplay and an original soundtrack co-composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski and Akira Yamaoka.

Wield unique psychic abilities reserved for those with the gift. Travel between the realities or explore them both at the very same time. Use the Out of Body experience to investigate places where your real-world self can’t go. Create energy shields and deliver powerful spirit blasts to survive the spirit world and its otherworldly dangers.



Delve deep into a mature and morally ambiguous story, where nothing is what it seems and everything has another side. As a medium you see, hear and experience more than others, and with every new perspective you will change your perception on what happened at the Niwa resort.



Never-seen-before and officially patented gameplay that plays out across two worlds displayed at the same time. Explore the physical world and the spirit world simultaneously, and use the interactions between them to solve dual-reality puzzles, unlock new paths, and awaken memories of past events.



The Medium’s spirit world is a dark mirror reflection of our reality, a grim and unsettling place where our unpunished deeds, evil urges, and vile secrets manifest themselves and can take on a form. This world has been invented and designed under the inspiration of Zdzisław Beksiński’s paintings, Polish dystopian surrealist internationally recognized for his distinctive and strikingly ominous style.



Immerse yourself in the disturbing and oppressive atmosphere of the game thanks to the original ‘dual’ soundtrack co-created by Akira Yamaoka and Arkadiusz Reikowski. Yamaoka-san is a legendary Japanese composer best known for his work on the Silent Hill series; Reikowski is a Hollywood Music in Media Awards nominee who worked on such acclaimed horror games as Blair Witch, Layers of Fear, and Observer. Now they join their creative forces for the music and songs of The Medium.

Can't get enough of these games

I have absolutely definitely for sure played this (trust me) and as such am surely at least as qualified to rate this as someone who played "barely an hour or so" of it to then proceed to write an entire thing about how one of the main mechanics isn't used except for draining PC resources, only to be completely wrong about that but still somehow making it "overall most helpful review". tl;dr: This is a great game, or at least it might be, or maybe not, who's to say. Either neither Ignisbruno nor me, or both of us, that's for sure. Steam reviews are an absolute farce, but at least absolute tosh doesn't manage to get pinned and highlighted as helpful there.

Atmospheric and story driven

Nice straight atmospheric horror game. Almost through end liked every bit. Hoping there will be more. Sure I'd like even more dual-world mechanics, but it sure cannot be judged by the first hour... As others mentioned, at times the game is not very well optimized. With an I7 and RTX2070 Super I'm still only playing at medium and at some points the game is stutterin in camera movements. Also Bloober needs to patch a problem that always puts back the FPS to 30...

Good one.

I was thinking, maybe I should give it 5 stars and not just 4. After all I've finished it almost in a one run, but I must admit, there were moments it was a bit annoying. However I really liked it most of the time. I think, an accurate vision of this old and desolate hotel from the time when Poland was in the communist block caught my attention at the most at the beginning. Although I don't miss that time, it was nice to see it again (in a way). Then the story kicked in, visions of the other side and unveiling of the story... Whole experience was really good and I did not expect the ending... although, maybe I should have.

Wow

Finally a horror / spookie game with only a minmum of sneak/survival sequences. No, this is a story driven adventure game, if it wasn't 3rd person I'd even say it's a walking simulator with some inventory items. But other than in most of those you actually talk to someone at times. Sadly there's also some running / sneaking sequences, which are quite annoying.I don't care too much about escaping or killing monsters (which we don't do here), when it comes to a story driven game. I also don't like when split sequences start or end, but I guess it is supposed to hurt, since it also hurts the main character. The game could use some polish, at some points the animations seem a little bit off. And why can't we pet the cat? Still, if you are looking for a mystery adventure game with some shock elements, this is for you.
