The live stream showed gameplay video games for the Xbox Series X . The Medium is developed by Bloober Team , who also developed Blair Witch and Layers of Fear .
action
In the game you embody Marianna, who is a medium and can communicate with spirits . Haunted by the vision of a gruesome child murder, she travels to an abandoned resort that was the scene of a terrible tragedy many years ago. The young woman wants to find answers here. But what she discovers makes reality and imagination blur.
development
The Medium is developed by the Bloober team, who came up with the idea in 2012. Bloober intended to improve immersion by changing their traditional perspective from first to third person and taking advantage of the Xbox Series X background streaming . They modeled the supernatural environment after the dystopian - surrealist work of art by Zdzisław Beksiński . Chief designer Wojciech Piejko said The Medium conveyed the message that "there is no universal truth". The composers Arkadiusz Reikowski and Akira Yamaoka were commissioned to evaluate the physical and spiritual level. Yamaoka worked on the Silent Hill franchise that inspired the game, including its fixed camera angles. He was convinced to record the music when Piejko came up to him with a gameplay demonstration.
The Medium was originally announced for Xbox 360 , PlayStation 3, and Wii U in 2012. However, for lack of better technology, it was re-announced as the Windows and Xbox Series X title in May 2020, slated for release in the fourth quarter of the year.
