Sup I subbed to you just today cuase of your Re:Zero review and I like review style. Can't wait to see what you do next, gud stuff 👍
Great review! The perfomance problems are a dealbreaker for me, I'll wait for some patches and a sale.
Really good review! Performance and smoothness is really important and good that you have given importance to everything when reviewing. Awesome! Game seems cool tho once it's optimized, might have something cool to play
To be real Song of Horror is soooo much better than this game….
I don’t think we have cheese it’s in Canada
Was interested at first because it reminds of an old game called Dark Seed (1992) but after watching the Bloober Team Bites video, not going to support them.

The tl:dr, they have pretty much copy and pasted on every game, and are now actually patenting the dual universe thing (which is a also copied).
20 fps in a 1070 ti sounds terrible… I have a 1060 6gb and im sure I can't run this game :'(
Thanks for telling me about the game I think I'm going to wait and maybe about a month before I do a let's play on it good job on the review man keep up the good work 👍
6:28 Medium wants to be played on medium. DO YOU GET IT? HAHA
rtx off – ahahaha
the graphics look kinda ancient…
Really enjoyed the review. I've just subbed, so now I'll have a great source unbiased reviews! I wonder how close it can get to 60fps with an RTX3090 and 5900x. I haven't started playing it yet, but dove into the graphic settings this morning before heading to work. Interested to see if newer hardware reduces frame pacing issues as well. I don't have an M.2, but the game is installed on a Samsung SSD. The concept is really cool to me and I hope the poor performance doesn't ruin the experience!
Okay > You wanna play this game just don't because the devs were focused on consoles so what do you play on PC is a console version… I'm done with multi platform
Any replay value?
What is your hardware?
Nice Review
Thanks for the review, I'm going to hold on to my money for now till they fix these issues.
Came from Steam!
I'm getting 83-112 FPS on all high settings. Maybe upgrade your computer?
The review was okay and i agree with you on the most points but you completely forgot to mention WHY this game is running into such huge performance issues. The devs try to render the game two times at the same time. Something like this asks for trouble when it comes down to performance. Games like Escape from Tarkov have a similar issue when you aim down sights with a zooming scope attached to your gun. I guess thats the reason why they were aiming for 30fps and not 60 fps.
Im still not the biggest fan of the game, but maybe explaining this would help people to understand what exactly causes these performance issues.
not for everyone. As a fan of the OG silent hills, resident evils this game feels right at home. Loving the gameplay, camera angles, and story so far. Running on a 2080 with everything maxed, getting around 72 FPS…not the best but I'm not expecting this game to look like cyberpunk.
Well, it's called medium, what did you expect?
Half the framerate on medium setting is where hte magic of the title lies.
Looks pretty generic with bland character design.
Found this on steam
The description according to the steam store page.
The Medium: Discover a dark mystery only a medium can solve.
The "mysteries" behind "psychics, mediums and any other person claiming to have "mystic powers" has already been solved ages ago by a gentleman named James Randi, a physicist who for years had a show that offered a $10,000 reward to anyone that could demonstrate the use of psychic powers that James would watch them perform then would add a control, for example one guy claimed he could move the pages of a phonebook with powers, after James added some shredded styrofoam around the phonebook that would show he was using simple air flow to move the pages the guy was unable to reproduce the results claiming that the styrofoam was causing static electricity to hold the pages down.
During the entire show's run not one single psychic, medium and or any other person who claimed to have "mystic powers" was able to perform any sort of ability after the control had been added.
Bottom line believing in mediums is like being afraid of pedophiles, if you grow up both issues just go away (because your no longer a child.)
