The Medium

A third-person psychological horror game where you play a medium who sees both the real world and the spirit world. You explore, solve puzzles that span the two realities and avoid a threatening creature, all while uncovering a murder mystery. Single-player only, and a story-driven run takes roughly nine hours.
