About The Medium
Discover a dark mystery only a medium can solve. Explore the real world and the spirit world at the same time. Use your psychic abilities to solve puzzles spanning both worlds, uncover deeply disturbing secrets, and survive encounters with The Maw - a monster born from an unspeakable tragedy. The Medium is a third-person psychological horror game that features patented dual-reality gameplay and an original soundtrack.
Marianne, a medium hounded by visions, lives and interacts across two worlds: the real one and the spirit world. Haunted by the vision of a child’s murder, she travels to an abandoned hotel resort, which many years ago became the stage of an unthinkable tragedy. There she begins her search for difficult answers. As a medium with access to both worlds, she has a wider perspective and can see more clearly that there’s no one simple truth to what others perceive. Nothing is what it seems, everything has another side.
