The Medium can now be reserved for Xbox Series X and PC through Steam. It will launch in the 2020 Christmas season.

Below you can read an official description.

Uncover a dark mystery that only one means can solve. Travel to an abandoned communist complex and use your unique psychic abilities to uncover its deeply disturbing secrets, solve double-reality puzzles, survive encounters with sinister spirits, and explore two realities at the same time. The Medium is a third person psychological horror game featuring a proprietary dual reality game and an original soundtrack co-composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski and Akira Yamaoka.

BECOME A MEDIA Exercise unique psychic abilities reserved for those with the gift. Travel between realities or explore both at the same time. Use the Out of Body experience to investigate places where your real self cannot go. Create energy shields and deliver powerful spirit blasts to survive the spirit world and its dangers from another world.

SEE WHAT IS HIDDEN Dig deeper into a mature and morally ambiguous story, where nothing is what it seems and everything has a different side. As a medium that sees, listens, and experiences more than others, and with each new perspective, your perception of what happened at the Niwa resort will change.

PLAY IN TWO WORLDS AT THE SAME TIME Game never before seen and officially patented that takes place in two worlds that are shown at the same time. Explore the physical and spiritual worlds simultaneously, and use the interactions between them to solve double-reality puzzles, unlock new paths, and awaken memories of past events.

ENTER A DARK REALITY INSPIRED BY BEKSIŃSKI The medium’s spiritual world is a dark reflection of our reality, a grim and haunting place where our unpunished actions, evil impulses and vile secrets manifest themselves and can take shape. This world has been invented and designed under the inspiration of the paintings of Zdzisław Beksiński, a Polish dystopian surrealist internationally recognized for his distinctive and striking style.

YAMAOKA AND REIKOWSKI MUSIC Dive into 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 Medium’s music and songs.
