Our take on What Lies in the Multiverse
Its focus on dimension-switching puzzles gives the adventure a clear identity, but also places less emphasis on combat and open-ended systems. Progress is tied to learning how each reality changes movement, hazards, and routes.
What is What Lies in the Multiverse?
This story-led puzzle platformer centers on switching between parallel versions of the world during movement and exploration.
A change in dimension can turn hazards into routes, alter gravity, open passages, or change how characters function. Players solve logistical puzzles while traveling through pixel-art settings including temples, towns, harbors, and wilderness areas. The journey follows a cast that includes scientists, agents, monks, and other unusual characters, alongside Everett, a reality-hopping guide whose story carries suspicious details. The narrative combines humor with darker themes about human nature, while the platforming structure uses dimension changes as its main way to navigate obstacles and progress.
