The Medium: Deluxe Edition

About

The Medium: Deluxe Edition is a psychological horror adventure that splits its action between two mirrored worlds. You explore a decaying resort in Poland as Marianne, a psychic photographer, figuring out a decades-old mystery while confronting personal trauma. Puzzles and environmental storytelling blend with jump scares and unsettling atmosphere, all framed by a narrative that blurs reality and hallucination. The game’s most striking feature is its dual-world mechanic, letting you switch between physical and spiritual realms to solve challenges. The Deluxe Edition adds a haunting original soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill) and Arkadiusz Reikowski, deepening the game’s tension. A digital art book also included offers insight into the game’s eerie visuals. With a 82/100 Metacritic score, it’s a polished entry in the survival horror genre that leans heavily on its oppressive mood and layered plot.
