It tears the soul apart piece by piece

In the dark universe of The Medium, The Maw stands out as a terrifying entity born from human trauma and suffering. It is an adversary whose presence haunts the player like a shadow. As a metaphor for destructive pain, it tears the soul apart piece by piece.

The Maw’s appearance evokes nightmarish visions. Its humanoid silhouette, with grotesquely elongated limbs and a disfigured face, triggers a primal fear. The creature’s voice, masterfully brought to life by Troy Baker, is equally unsettling—full of strange whispers and promises of destruction. The Maw speaks, revealing its twisted desire to consume its victims in an attempt to drown out its own suffering.

Narratively, The Maw is tied to the past of the protagonist, Marianne, and the dark history of the Niwa Resort. It symbolizes how unresolved tragedies can sometimes fester into something genuinely dangerous.

The game introduces elements of stealth and survival in dealing with The Maw. Playing as Marianne, the player has no means of fighting the monster directly—instead, they must avoid confrontation, hide in the shadows, and rely on the protagonist’s unique psychic abilities to survive.

The Maw is a terrifying nightmare that not only haunts the protagonist but also plants a lingering unease within the player, a reminder that the worst demons are born in the human mind. It is a being that leaves an indelible mark, long after the game has ended.

Also be sure to check a pulse-pounding, third-person survival horror with a gripping and twisted time travel story!

The game is coming to PC (Steam) and consoles in 2025!

Between Suffering and Redemption

Marianne is a medium, capable of communicating with spirits and moving between the material and spiritual worlds. This extraordinary ability makes her both the driving force of the story and a tragic figure, struggling with her own traumas as she discovers dark truths about herself. Marianne’s appearance in the Spirit World differs from her real-world self. With her white hair and the bright light of her powers, she resembles a candle in the darkness, guiding lost souls through the void.



The inspiration for Marianne’s role as a guide came from the mysterious lanterns of the dead, widely known as lanternes des morts. Between the 12th and 14th centuries, these lanterns were erected in many places across Europe. Through their light, they pointed the way for people lost in the darkness and announced the proximity of sacred places—locations caught between the earth and the heavens. These lanterns acted as waypoints for both the living and the dead. They also dispelled the gloom, where penitent souls or wraiths might have hidden— and revealed criminals lurking to prey on travelers. The dual purpose of the lanterns of the dead has fascinated historians for centuries.


Fun Fact:

Most surviving lanternes des morts are located in France, particularly in the Limousin region. They can also be found in Poitou and Berry, with a few examples in Spain and Great Britain.



At first glance, Marianne’s abilities seem to be useful tools for helping spirits trapped in the spiritual world. However, the game quickly makes it clear that her gift is also a curse. Marianne doesn’t just see the suffering of others—she relives her own pain repeatedly. The truth about her past raises questions about her mission. We leave the answers to you - look for them by delving into our story about a true medium - a living lanternes des morts.
