Our take on The Newton Mystery
The adventure replaces a single-hero structure with a group whose different abilities shape movement and puzzle solving. Ghost traversal, underwater exploration, wall climbing, and yo-yo-created platforms give its platforming a character-switching structure.
What is The Newton Mystery?
Set in Newton, this puzzle-and-platform adventure follows a circle of friends working together to investigate monster-related crimes.
More than five characters are playable, and players can change between them to tackle puzzles with different skills. Mac uses a yo-yo to make springy platforms and grappling points, and can glimpse memories from the town’s history. Tess can become a ghost, pass through barriers, hover, and launch spells. Lemon breaks obstacles with punches and diving kicks. Phil fires bubbles and changes into a fish to travel underwater. Coal squeezes through small openings and climbs walls. The group can also speak with residents and monsters; conversations vary by character.
