About What Lies in the Multiverse - Prologue
What Lies in the Multiverse Prologue is the first chapter of one truly crazy adventure. Intended as an introduction to the world of What Lies in the Multiverse, this prologue will introduce you to the game’s dimension shifting mechanics, eccentric main characters, and the opening chapter of a story that's filled with laughs, gags, and a bit of the macabre.
This prologue is approximately 1 hour of playing time.
What Lies in the Multiverse is a story-driven, puzzle platform adventure that one could call a dramatic comedy. Filled to the brim with hilarious, cartoonish hijinks, the narrative also presents the player with mature and deep themes like death, envy, and obsession.
Things inevitably go batshit crazy very fast in the Multiverse when you discover the ability to travel between parallel worlds. These worlds are alternate versions of each level and differ in aesthetic, theme, and physicality. Switching between them allows you to solve logical and spatial challenges and to progress the story.
Would you like to change the game world on the fly? Now you can! Can't reach a ledge? Bam! Switch worlds mid-air. Afraid of sliding around in an icy environment? Alternate to another universe for firmer ground! Just be careful when messing with gravity...
Embark on a journey across a variety of gorgeous pixel-art worlds, each offering something unique. Explore temples, towns, harbors, the wilderness and more as you race to unlock the secrets of the Multiverse.
Meet a bunch of quirky but compelling characters such as Everett, your eventual genius companion. Picture a sarcastic, eccentric Albert Einstein. Then there’s EZ, a mysterious figure everyone fondly remembers but can't describe. Or ZENITH, a group of enigmatic and shadowy figures always breathing down your neck.
While staying true to its light-hearted nature, the story's poignancy builds as you progress. A rollercoaster of laughter, joy, and sorrow awaits.

"What Lies in the Multiverse - Prologue" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "What Lies in the Multiverse". What Lies in the Multiverse is yet another godawful 2D retro pixel platformer, one of literally thousands of these on Steam, lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere just by existing. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not What Lies in the Multiverse, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "What Lies in the Multiverse - Prologue" too. The objective of this advertisement is to get you to fork out an eye watering $15 USD to buy the full game... and I don't recommend you do. Fifteen bucks... seriously, if amateur devs want to get paid the same money as real developers, they h…2 found this helpful

From this prologue version, seems like a fun puzzle game, with some darkness in it. It's a platformer puzzle game with universe shifting, which might change the scenery depending on which universe you are. From what I see, the world can be shifted into a good and bad version. The good version contains live vegetation, nice day, friendly people and stuff for you to talk, while the bad version contains a uglier, scarier appearance, with a grim appearance of the npcs from the good version, be them either dead or not. One example of that is when you get to the town at the end of the demo. In the good version, you see a dog and two kids playing around in the town. In the bad version, if you didn't got the car keys for Everret yet, you will see that same dog, malnourished, eating one of the kids. That just one of the examples of how dark the game can be. The story itself is fun, and I had a good time following it. The characters are well animated, aswell as in some of their dialogues, so they really put the narrative to shine here. The puzzles in the prologue are actually simple, beside the ones in the later part of the prologue put my brain cells to work a bit. Also, be careful not t…
I loved every bit of it. Good job folks! Bravo!
doesnt make any sense to me
honestly, for just a prologue, this is actually a pretty well made game
