Dual Reality System Explained in Latest Video For ‘The Medium’
We’re all excited for the release of Bloober Team’s psychological horror game The Medium later this holiday season, and Bloober Team knows it. As such, they’re dropping little nuggets of info on the game, including the latest video which explains the Dual Reality System.
In the video, Community Team member Michal Napora explains the concept of the game’s protagonist, Marianne, existing in two places at once. Throughout the game, you will spend time being in one reality, either in the physical world, or in the spiritual one.
However, at certain points, you will experience both realities at the same time. During those times, you’ll be taken into both realities and you will experience both worlds simultaneously. Depending on the context or the situation, one world might take over more of the screen than the other.
This all plays into the mechanic of players being able to manipulate objects or perform actions in one reality that you can’t do in the other, which is key to solving puzzles or overcoming obstacles.
The Medium is due out for Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store on December 10. It will also be available via Xbox Game Pass for Console and PC.
Right on schedule, Red Barrels has released “Project Boneyard” for The Outlast Trials. Available for free on PC and consoles for all current owners of The Outlast Trials, Reagents are thrown into Murkoff’s latest correctional nightmare, where authority is currency, punishment is policy, and riot makes way for revenge.
Sergeant Leland Coyle returns in a prominent new role for the season’s new Trial, Locksock the Warden. Sporting a brand new hat and an old appetite for control, Coyle is ready to inject more of his “cruel and unusual” style into the prison population.
As noted last week, Project Boneyard brings with it a new Trial, a new environment in the Prison Farm, new challenges, and a new Ex-Pop in The Biter.
Arms removed to prevent further self-harm, Biters are universal sadists, still capable of grievous harm with their mechanically enforced jaws. Though Biters are kept chained by the neck for safety, Reagents should approach with caution, as their augmented legs gift them with unexpected velocity.
Also part of the content is a new Deluxe Catalog, filled with 10 pages of new exclusive cosmetic items for Reagents looking to express themselves under Murkoff-approved supervision. The Deluxe Catalog is permanently available, allowing you to unlock items at whatever pace suits you.
Players can also partake in the game’s first limited-time Community Event in the Blood Drive. Blood Extractors have been installed in multiple Trial Environments, and Reagents are strongly encouraged to donate generously. Designed as a community-wide event, Blood Drive is Murkoff’s blood supply for an upcoming project. Every contribution helps advance the collective goal. As the community reaches new milestones, additional rewards will be unlocked for all participating Reagents. However, a minimum donation will be required within the trial environment to qualify for claiming event rewards.
The Outlast Trials is available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation, and Xbox.
