The Medium is a psychological horror video game developed and published by Bloober Team. It was released for Microsoft Windows and Xbox Series X/S in January 2021 and is set to be released for PlayStation 5 in September 2021.
he Medium is set in post-Communism Poland in 1999.[7][8] Marianne, a spirit medium that helps troubled souls seek final respite, has a recurring dream of a man shooting a young girl by a lake. While grieving over the death of her foster father, Marianne receives a mysterious phone call from a man named Thomas, who knows of her abilities. Thomas offers to explain the origin of Marianne's powers, as well as the meaning of the dream. However, Thomas is only willing to talk if Marianne meets him at the Niwa Workers' Resort, an abandoned communist-era vacation resort in the Polish wilderness. Niwa had been shuttered by the government after the Niwa Massacre years earlier, where a large number of people were murdered and the survivors fled the area.
Exploring Niwa, Marianne finds the place has strong ties to the spirit realm, and evidence that Thomas, the resort's manager, and his daughter Lilianne were at the epicentre of the Niwa Massacre. In the spirit world, she encounters Sadness, a spirit of a young girl that warns her of the Maw, a hostile and malevolent spirit that has managed to partially exist in the real world and was responsible for the Niwa Massacre by occupying human hosts and using their bodies to murder others, and is now hunting down Marianne to sate its hunger and escape Niwa. Marianne repeatedly offers to send Sadness to her peace, but she refuses. Through her visions, Marianne finds out that Sadness is probably a spirit of Thomas' daughter Lily, who was molested by Thomas' older and trusted friend Richard.
Marianne pieces enough clues to learn that Thomas was also a medium and due to this was experimented on by Nazis and Soviets who found out that his powers could be used to sever people's minds from their bodies. He had fled back to Poland and hid at Niwa, eventually starting a family. An agent of Służba Bezpieczeństwa named Henry discovered Thomas, subdued him, and forced him to watch as he set fire to Thomas' home with his children inside, causing Thomas to attack and murder him. Marianne realizes she is Thomas' daughter; she had fallen into a coma from the fire and Thomas had left her at the hospital while he remained with Lilianne at Niwa.
