The Medium takes place in 1990s Krakow, in the abandoned Niwa Hotel, modeled after the actual former Hotel Cracovia. The main character is Marianne, the titular medium. She experiences visions of the death of an innocent child and sets out to solve the mystery.



✅A big plus is the sound design of the game – throughout the entire game, the soundtrack keeps the tension and uncertainty, which I really liked. Several times while playing with headphones, I got scared.
✅Very engaging storyline – while progressing through the story, we are really curious about what will happen next.
✅The game has a very good dark atmosphere, somewhat capturing the vibe of the Polish People's Republic (PRL).
✅The graphics are excellent.
✅The game offers a balance between the divided screen (not always) of the real world and the spiritual world.
✅The Polish studio also paid attention to Polish history and pop culture, incorporating them in collectables (in notes) and writings on the walls.
✅Well-designed locations inspired by Zdzisław Beksiński.
✅The game also includes a sneaking mechanic to avoid danger, which I consider a plus.
✅Very good acting and dubbing.
✅I really liked that some objects in the real world let us hear what happened before the main character, Marienne, arrived, while in the spiritual world, we could unlock memories of the characters.
✅The fixed camera adds a cinematic feel to the scenes.

✅❌The storyline is linear, and in my opinion, everyone should judge for themselves whether they prefer linear stories or open-world ones, which is why I didn't rate this as either a plus or minus.

❌The puzzles were too simple.
❌Despite having a good computer, the game is very poorly optimized.
❌In my opinion, the price is too high for less than 10 hours of gameplay (better to wait for a sale).
❌The game’s ending was weak and not satisfying for me
❌Im disappointed by the lack of Polish dubbing, especially since the game takes place in Poland and was made by a Polish studio (for Polish players).

✅✅✅ Verdict: Good game

Far worse than mediocre
A technical disaster with low fps and stuttering, a next to non-existent "gameplay", an unlikeable character in an absurd "story".
Stay away.
