KRAKOW, POLAND – May 7, 2020 – Bloober Team, the makers of Blair Witch, Observer and Layers of Fear, today announces its largest and most ambitious project to date – The Medium.

Launching on Xbox Series X and PC in the 2020 Holiday season, The Medium is a tension-fueled, psychological horror game built around a central motif: how your perspective changes your perception. Players will find themselves in the body of Marianne, a medium hounded by visions, living and interacting across two worlds: the real, and the spirit world. Nothing is what it seems, everything has another side. As a medium with access to both worlds, you have a wider perspective and can see more clearly that there’s no one simple truth to what others perceive.  

“Every one of our games has a central theme that drives its creative and technological design. In The Medium, we focus on perspective and perception. When you change your point of view, you discover that things are more complicated and nuanced than you initially thought” – said Piotr Babieno, CEO at Bloober Team. “The Medium is our most ambitious game ever and we can’t wait to show you how we’re translating this vision into a psychological horror.”

Akira Yamaoka, of Silent Hill fame and Bloober Team’s Arkadiusz Reikowski are working together on the game’s original ‘dual’ score, creating truly unique atmospheres across both worlds.

“The inclusion of the legendary Akira Yamaoka – best known for his work on the Silent Hill franchise – is a dream come true. We’ve been inspired by many of the previous games he has worked on and are thrilled to bring a new one to life with The Medium.”

Developed and published by Bloober Team, The Mediumwill launch on Xbox Series X and PC during [Holiday/Christmas] 2020.

Through the Darkest of Times, The “Best Serious Game 2020” is now available on the Apple Appstore and Google Play!

Berlin, Germany / Giebelstadt, Germany, May 7th, 2020: Leading a resistance group from your mobile device sounds simple enough, right? Organize a protest, paint a few paroles on walls, collect donations… But here’s a promise: It won’t be easy. Because it wasn’t.

They were dark times. 1933, the unforgettable announcement: “Hitler is Chancellor!” has changed the lives of ordinary people, from Jews to Catholics and Communists to Patriots who simply couldn’t stand aside. As we all know, this message brought hardship and injustice for many. Every choice has an impact on your next steps, buying paper is dangerously suspicious and painting paroles on walls could get you arrested or even cost your head. Face the odds and make a stand, make a difference! Fight the Nazi regime, keep your group’s morale up and most important: Survive!

This is the setting of Through the Darkest of Times from Paintbucket Games. You are the leader of a small resistance group in 1933’s Berlin. The goal is to deal small blows to the regime – dropping leaflets to spread awareness about what the Nazis are really up to among the people, painting messages on walls, sabotaging, gathering information and recruiting more followers. And all of that while staying undercover – if the regime’s forces learn about your group, the life of each member is in grave danger.

About Through the Darkest of Times

Through the Darkest of Times is a historical resistance strategy game. Its focus lies on conveying the grim mood of the period and the very real struggles of average people living in the 3rd Reich. Historical accuracy means that a small group of resistance fighters will not change the outcome of the war, nor will they prevent all of the Nazi’s atrocities, but they will certainly do everything in their power to save as many lives as they can and inhibit the fascist system whenever possible.

  Features

• Experience the Darkest of Times in 4 chapters
• Fight for freedom, weaken the regime and lead your resistance group
• Plan activities, find collaborators and try not to get caught
• Feel the weight of responsibility as you make difficult decisions and face the dire consequences
