Game developer Bloober Team, the ones behind Blair Witch, Observer and Layers of Fear, recently revealed the latest project they have right now: The Medium.
The Medium is a fascinating horror game
The upcoming psychological horror video game will be launched in the holidays 2020 for Xbox series X and PC. The game is a tension-fuelled game built around one focus, which is how a perspective changes a perception.
Players will be controlling Marianne, a medium that is haunted most of the time with visions. She is currently living and interacting across two worlds at once, which are the real world and the spirit world. Players will have to check if everything is real or is it from the spirit world. Since she is a medium with access to both world, players will have a wider perspective and can see more clearly that there is no simple truth to what others perceive.
CEO Piotr Babieno stated:
Every one of our games has a central theme that drives its creative and technological design. In The Medium, we focus on perspective and perception. When you change your point of view, you discover that things are more complicated and nuanced than you initially thought. The Medium is our most ambitious game ever and we can’t wait to show you how we’re translating this vision into a psychological horror.
The inclusion of the legendary Akira Yamaoka – best known for his work on the Silent Hill franchise – is a dream come true. We’ve been inspired by many of the previous games he has worked on and are thrilled to bring a new one to life with The Medium.
