Unveiling the Real World Inspiration For Our Game

A Haunting Homage: Did you know the abandoned Niwa holiday resort in the game is based on a real location in Krakow? You can even visit it yourself! But Niwa isn't the only slice of reality depicted in The Medium. Marianne's tenement house and the square outside are also meticulously recreated.

Stepping into the Real Niwa: The mosaic adorning the resort's hall is a faithful replica, as is the entire hall itself. While the in-game hotel rooms capture the essence of the real Niwa, they are by necessity condensed for gameplay purposes.

A Tribute to Beksiński: The Spirit World wouldn't exist without the profound influence of the brilliant Zdzisław Beksiński. Several elements pay homage to him, such as the imposing Eagle in Thomas's office.

Marianne - A Beacon of Hope: In the bleakness of The Spirit World, Marianne shines like a candle in the dark. Her white hair, pale skin, and subtle ethereal glow all contribute to this symbolism.

Layers Of Fear dev's next original game will be revealed this year

Twitter user pl_evil has helpfully translated a recent letter to shareholders from Bloober Team, showing that their new game "Project C" will be revealed later this year. This will be the studio's next original game, after they wrapped up Layers Of Fear last year with, confusingly, Layers Of Fear (the natural progression for a series: Layers Of Fear, Layers Of Fear 2, and then Layers Of Fear again, although it was going to be called Layers Of Fears at one point).

Bloober Team are currently doing a lot of IP work for other people, with the Silent Hill 2 remake due out later this year, and a game codenamed "Project R" in concert with Skybound Entertainment. Skybound are The Walking Dead company, so I wouldn't give you long odds for a bet on what Project R is about. Neither would I be surprised if Project C is unveiled this summer by a man named Geoff with shiny shiny trainers. I'm interested to see what it is, and honestly I'm hoping it's a brand new standalone thing, rather than a forced sequel to Observer or 2021's The Medium (where I got the header).

The underrated horror game The Medium is at its lowest-ever price on Steam right now. Giving it a spin at a whopping 60% off is well worth the risk. It might not be the most universally beloved spooky experience, but there's a lot here for narrative-first players to delve into, and its quirks make it stand out against similar games.
