Bloober Team have released a 14 minute gameplay trailer for their psychological horror game The Medium.
As previously reported The Medium is a horror puzzle game where players explore and solve puzzles in two different realities. As a medium, the player can pierce the veil of the spirit world and find clues both in the spirit world and the real world. They can also astral project into the spirit world to explore places their real body cannot go.
The new trailer shows Marianne exploring the abandoned hotel resort, and talking to some of the “guests” that still remain. You can find the 14 minutes of gameplay below.
You can find the full rundown (via Steam) below.
YOU’VE ONLY SEEN HALF SO FAR

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.
BECOME A MEDIUM

ENTER A DARK REALITY INSPIRED BY BEKSIŃSKI
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 Beksiński’s paintings, Polish dystopian surrealist internationally recognized for his distinctive and strikingly ominous style.
MUSIC BY YAMAOKA & 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.
