What Lies In The Multiverse

A brand new platformer, What Lies In The Multiverse, looks like it will be a great game. You control a boy that is only known as the Kid, and his life is forever changed after he meets with an eccentric man called Everett, a strange and sarcastic scientist who has the power to shift dimensions. Both of you bond over the fact that you are curious about the dangers of parallel worlds. After deciding to embark on a journey to investigate the unknown, you and Everett are on an island filled with mysterious things.

Learn about The Universe

When reaching this island with Everett, you discover that you will find answers about his past and the universe. However, exploring this island won't be easy, as some old acquaintances who want to capture and end your timeshifting activities are hunting both of you.

In this 2D platformer, you can jump between realities to reach places you usually wouldn't be able to. This ability will help you get every spot on the island, but be sure to use it wisely, as messing with gravity can be dangerous. Shifting realities won't only alter gravity. Depending on the situation, it will do something different. It can turn pitfalls into bridges, walls into tunnels, and even enemies into friends.

Explore The Island

You will come across beautiful and unique places in your journey, the game pixel-art is breathtaking, and its soundtrack makes the game even better. Explore impressive temples, harbors, cities, and other great places as you work on unlocking the secrets about the multiverse.

The Kid will meet and interact with many quirky and fun characters. Everett is a fun character and companion, and he is very eccentric and sarcastic. You will also meet EZ, a figure everyone seems to remember fondly for some indescribable reason, and Zenith, that is a group of shadowy people that seem always to be chasing you.

What Lies In The Multiverse is the perfect game for those who enjoy 2D platformers like Celeste and Owlboy. While the game has funny and lighthearted moments, it also manages to talk about some serious topics, and it delves deep into the dark side of human nature. So it seems like the game is the complete package. Not only does it have fun and unique gameplay mechanics that allow you to shift between different realities to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles, but it also has fantastic side characters and a deep story.

Summary

What Lies In The Multiverse might be one of the best 2D platformers of this year. Not only does it have excellent and well-written characters, but its art style is also beautiful. The reality shifting mechanic seems fun, and the story is exciting and promising. It will release on March 4th, and it will be available on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Windows, and Xbox One.
