In addition to today’s announcement of the talent collaboration, creators from The Medium development team have shared the first episode of the Behind the Scenes series for the game. This episode offers a deeper look at several key insights about the game such as the main theme – how perspective changes your perception. Furthermore, Bloober Team discusses what it means to play as a medium through the main character Marianne, who can live and interact between two worlds, the real and spirit, and what exactly is the Spirit World and what their inspirations are for it in The Medium.
