Reviews

“The Medium is one of the best third-person horror games I've ever played.”
92/100 – PC Gamer

“The Medium is a terrifying but compelling exploration of duality that uses the horror of personal trauma to craft a memorable tale.”
9/10 – Gamespot

“It’s handily Bloober’s most confident game yet. While I never got to see things through protagonist Marianne’s eyes, the game still dragged me down and smothered me with its stifling atmosphere. I often found myself tensed up and bracing for whatever Bloober had to show me next.”
5/5 – The Gamer

THE MEDIUM - DELUXE EDITION

THE MEDIUM - DELUXE EDITION

The Deluxe Edition includes:

The Medium (game)

Original Soundtrack (digital) - co-composed by legendary Japanese composer Akira Yamaoka of the Silent Hill fame, and Arkadiusz Reikowski - a Hollywood Music in Media Awards nominee best known for Blair Witch, Layers of Fear, and Observer.

The Art of The Medium - an official digital album that will lead you through the game’s unsettling physical world and ominous spirit world, inspired by the art of Zdzisław Beksiński, a Polish dystopian surrealist internationally recognized for his distinctive and strikingly haunting style.

About This Game

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.
