Straight from Microsoft’s recent Xbox Games Showcase, Bloober Team, the makers of Blair Witch, Observer and Layers of Fear, shared their official dual-reality gameplay walkthrough for The Medium. As a the third-person psychological horror game, The Medium features an in-depth deep dive with developer commentary of the unique and officially patented dual-reality gameplay that plays out across two different realities.
In this new gameplay walkthrough, viewers will see how players can control Marianne, a medium hounded by visions, living and interacting across two different worlds simultaneously with developer commentary from Lead Game Designer, Wojciech Piejko.
Throughout the trailer, Marianne’s movement through both worlds is controlled by a single analogue stick, while using different interactions between each of the worlds to solve puzzles and explore various paths. Viewers can also catch a glimpse of how Marianne in the Spirit World has different abilities than the real-world Marianne, including a supernatural ability called Out of Body.
Launching on Xbox Series X and PC in the 2020 Holiday season, The Medium impressively renders two fully-fledged and visually distinct worlds simultaneously with no loading screens. In addition, unlike other next generation games costing $70, The Medium will only cost $49.99.
