From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Medium_(video_game)):
The Medium is a psychological horror video game developed by Bloober Team that was released for Microsoft Windows and Xbox Series X/S on January 28, 2021.
The Medium is a psychological horror game played in third-person as Marianne, a medium who can travel into the spirit realm.[4][5] Being able to inhabit both worlds aids puzzle solving. Her psychic abilities may also be used against hostile forces and are recharged by interacting with energy spots called spirit wells.[6]
The Medium is developed by Bloober Team,[4] who came up with the idea in 2012.[7] Bloober meant to enhance the immersion by changing their traditional perspective from first- to third-person and taking advantage of Xbox Series X/S's background streaming.[5] They modelled the supernatural setting after Zdzisław Beksiński's dystopian surrealist artwork.[7] Lead designer Wojciech Piejko said The Medium imparts the message that "there is no universal truth".[5] Composers Arkadiusz Reikowski and Akira Yamaoka were tasked with scoring the physical and spiritual plane, respectively.[4][8] Using synthesiser and analogue sounds, Reikowski likened his approach to that of Stranger Things and Chernobyl.[9] Yamaoka worked on the Silent Hill franchise, which inspired the game,[2] including its fixed camera angles. He was persuaded to take on the music when Piejko gave him a gameplay demonstration.[8] Singer Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, also of Silent Hill fame, will contribute vocals.[10] Troy Baker voices the primary antagonist, known as the Maw, for whom another actor performed the motion capture on stilts.[11]
The Medium was originally announced for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U in 2012, but for want of better technology,[5] reappeared in May 2020 as a Microsoft Windows and Xbox Series X/S title.[4] Originally scheduled for 10 December 2020,[12] the release was eventually delayed to 28 January 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[13]
The Medium received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[14][15]
