The Medium braces for release with 14 minutes of new footage

The Medium developers Bloober Team has release 14 minutes of new gameplay footage from their spirited upcoming spooker.

It all starts off predictably enough. The titular medium, Marianne, wanders an abandoned hotel—examining objects for clues, listen to the disembodied screams of a spooky shoe. Standard stuff. But after a minute of exploration, we get to the real neat trick up The Medium’s sleeve.

Marianne is able to bridge the gap between reality and the spirit world, which in practice means a swish split-screen perspective—we see her chatting to an ‘armless ghost in the murky ghost realm, while a peek back into reality shows how daft she looks talking to herself in an empty lobby.

The rest of the trailer revels in some wonderfully grisly horror imagery, using the Resident Evil-style fixed camera to frame its monsters and set pieces behind dark corners. Bloober Team has always been decent at horror imagery, but its deployment of jump scares in Layers Of Fear got real old, real fast.

Don’t wait! Pre-order The Medium today !!!
