Our take on The Multi-Medium

Players who rely on one familiar movement routine may bounce off when each level introduces a different traversal mechanic. Those expecting combat to dominate may also hit a wall at the puzzle-platforming structure, where jumping, climbing, swimming, and grappling drive progress.

What is The Multi-Medium?

Play as an interdimensional explorer stranded after a technology failure prevents the return home.

The journey crosses 10 separate universes, with each one presenting its own setting, story, and visual treatment. Levels use artwork made with physical materials, then scanned for use in the game. Movement and traversal include jumping, climbing, swinging, swimming, throwing, and grappling. New mechanics appear across the levels, while seven boss fights or encounters punctuate the expedition. Strange characters inhabit the worlds, and every level contains concealed secrets. The game combines platforming and puzzles with an adventure structure centered on finding a place within each universe and the wider cosmos.
