According to the also creators of Observer, Layers of Fear and Blair Witch, this new proposal will be full of tension and psychological terror. The studio has built the video game with a central core in mind: how perspective changes your perception entirely. Players will thus put themselves in the shoes of Marianne, a medium persecuted for her visions who lives and interacts with two very different worlds: the real and a kind of spiritual universe where nothing is what it seems, everything can be seen from different points of view. view. As the protagonist accesses both worlds, the character's perspective will improve and she will see more clearly that there is more out there than meets the eye.

“All of our games have a central theme that drives your creativity and technological design. At The Medium, we focus on perspective and perception. When you change your point of view, you discover things that are more complicated than you might initially think, "said Piotr Babieno, CEO of the Bloober Team. "The Medium is our most ambitious game, we can't wait to show you how we have translated this vision into psychological terror."
Regarding the presence of Akira Yamaoka, he has worked alongside the studio's lead composer, Akadiusz Reijoski. The addition of the legendary Akira Yamaoka, best known for his work on the Silent Hill franchise, is a dream come true. We have been inspired by many previous games that he has worked on and are excited to bring a new one to reality with The Medium. ”
