The Medium is a third-person psychological horror game that features patented dual-reality gameplay. IN the game, main protagonist Marianne uses her powers to step between reality and another world, with player witnessing that on a split screen. This allows for novel puzzles and unique storytelling.

I was hired along a dedicated team to design and implement additional content in The Medium, from early prototype to fully polished quality, over a very short time span. We managed to craft an experience along the lines of the main game, but with its own unique gameplay mechanics and mood.
