I did not realize this was a Bloober Team until the moment I started the game. I will now be extremely careful anytime I see their logo on a future project so I can stay the hell away. Far, far away.

The only positives are the pretty graphics and the unique perspective when you're viewing both worlds. The negatives here far outweigh the good. You can't cover up the absolute shit message with pretty graphics. Every time I think about The Medium, I remember the victims are portrayed as monsters.

I have no idea what's going on with their writing team, but they cannot handle traumatic themes at all. They have failed again, and again. This being the most egregious of all. It's not even "it's so bad, it's good." It's shameful. The entire message can boiled down to: Victims can never heal or overcome their pain. They can only pass it on with more pain by becoming a monster.

Also why the hell would you show me the depraved acts of a character and THEN expect me to feel sympathy afterwards? It doesn't work that way.

There's no reason to play The Medium. This has killed any future project of theirs I may want to try. I want nothing to do with them moving forward.
