The Medium — Dual-Reality Trailer
At the time of the original posting, all we had was the screenshots to show off this gameplay functionality. Now we can see it a bit more in motion and the other dark themes coming to The Medium when it finally launches for us all.
Here we go with a little more to look at for The Medium as it gears up for a PC and Xbox Series X release in the future. This would be the latest coming from Bloober Team for us all to enjoy and have a new experience in our gaming lives. Something that may or may not be assumed to be coming for a game called The Medium that will have us playing across the real world and a world beyond. The more interesting part being that we will be doing it at the same time with the way the game mechanics will flow out here. That is based on these new screenshots and descriptions we have for the game.
As it looks, in The Medium we will not only be able to see the other world and fight off evil spirits in the mix of it all, but we will need to traverse the worlds at the same time. How that will specifically function is up to our interpretation currently, but it looks like we will have to move the character on both sides at the same time while making sure one version is not in danger or walking off an edge. Not exactly what I was expecting for The Medium based on the announcement but it is a new look and twist that sounds like it could be fun. Have a look at the new info and images and see just what we are talking about here.
Discover a dark mystery only a medium can solve. Travel to an abandoned communist resort and use your unique psychic abilities to uncover its deeply disturbing secrets, solve dual-reality puzzles, survive encounters with sinister spirits, and explore two realities at the same time.
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.
Key Features
- Become a Medium – 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.
- See What’s Hidden – 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.
- Play in Two Worlds at the Same Time – 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.
- Enter a Dark Reality Inspired by Beksinski – 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 Beksinski’s paintings, Polish dystopian surrealist internationally recognized for his distinctive and strikingly ominous style.
- Music by Akira Yamaoka and Arkadiusz Reikowski – 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.
