The Medium has already covered development costs, says Bloober Team

The Medium has had a very successful launch, according to developer Bloober Team. The horror game has already recouped its development and promotion costs, says the team.


In an interview with Polish financial outlet money.pl, as translated by industry analyst MauroNL, Bloober Team isn't coy about The Medium's performance. Mauro's excerpt from the piece reads: "Sales of The Medium reached levels that covered the production and marketing costs of the game, producer Bloober Team reported. The game debuted on the market on Thursday, January 28 this year."


Several factors worked in The Medium's favour on this - it's a new game for the Xbox Series X, letting players stretch the hardware a little, it launched on PC and console, providing a larger audience, and it was on Game Pass day one, meaning word-of-mouth is high. Couple all of this with being a triple-A survival horror from a reliable studio, who managed to bring acclaimed Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka on board, and you have something that has a lot going for it.

How to solve The Medium's clock puzzle in Thomas's office

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.
