![]() It can be a bit disorientating for expectations of what The Medium actually offers, but with that knowledge, it begins to feel a lot more natural and logical. The format is actually very similar to the first-person horror games Bloober previously made, but viewed in a more classical survival horror manner. The gameplay setup is closer to an adventure game than a survival horror, with next to nothing in the combat department, and plenty of world interaction and puzzling to do, and it suits The Medium well. I also applaud the game’s streamlined setup and how that helps its atmosphere to grow via exploration of the Niwa resort and its hellish spirit world counterpart. For a relatively small development team such as Bloober, it’s an ambitious feat from a technical standpoint, even with the sacrifices made on performance that it brings.

Upon arriving at the resort, Marianne discovers that it holds a strong connection with the spirit world, and is home to a murderous entity known as The Maw, which caused an infamous massacre at the resort and has the troubling ability to also exist in both worlds at once. She’s not only grieving but is haunted by a recurring dream of a girl being murdered at a lake.Ī possible solution to her dreams, and an explanation behind her powers, arrives in the form of a phone call from a man named Tom, who claims to hold the answer to both if Marianne is willing to meet at an abandoned resort in the Polish wilderness.ĭesperate for something to distract from her grief, and more than a little curious what answers she will get, Marianne agrees. The game picks up her story just as she has to attend the funeral of her foster father. ![]() She uses this to help restless spirits find closure. The Medium deals with a young woman, Marianne, who acts as a medium able to travel into the spirit world whilst still existing in our reality at the same time.
