Созданный польской студией Blooper Team хоррор The Medium полностью окупился всего за сутки с момента релиза. Разработчики сообщили об этом в отчете для акционеров. Сообщение появилось на сайте делового издания Bankier.pl.
Trying to solve the clock puzzle in Thomas's office in The Medium? As you manoeuvre between realities in Bloober's latest horror game, there are some tricky puzzles to overcome. The clock puzzle is particularly tough, as it requires resetting a clock and interacting with spirits in the room. There are few steps here, so let's dig in.
First, you need to locate Thomas (the hotel manager) in the Niwa Hotel, but instead you'll find his office has been turned upside down and he's nowhere in sight. Still, there's plenty to investigate. Start by inspecting the broken desk to retrieve a flashlight and a small key.
This moves us onto solving the clock puzzle itself, which allows you to gain access to a hidden room behind Thomas's office. You may have spotted the imposing grandfather clock on the wall; the key you just collected fits into the small lock which opens the case, so you can control the dials and rewind time in the spirit world in order to uncover more clues.

Студия Bloober Team представила новый трейлер The Medium, приуроченный к запуску психологического хоррора. В ролике присутствуют сюжетные сцены и геймплейные кадры, демонстрирующиеся под вокальную композицию в исполнении певицы Мэри Элизабет МакГлинн.
In terms of entertainment properties, single-player horror adventure game The Medium (I hesitate to use the term "psychological horror") is unfortunately competing in the search rankings with Medium, a mid-00's police procedural TV show where the "police" is actually a woman played by Patricia Arquette who talks to ghosts.
I would not bring this up, except the extremely breathy deadpanism of Arquette's very-sincere-while-saying-outlandish-things delivery did remind me of the performances in The Medium. And honestly, The Medium comes out on top here, both in terms of its performances and its story coherence and general originality. But it's also about exactly as horrific.
