2D adventure game What Lies in the Multiverse announced for Switch

Publisher Untold Tales, along with developers Studio Voyager and IguanaBee, have announced What Lies in the Multiverse. The dramatic comedy adventure will be appearing on Switch in early 2022.

We have the first details on What Lies in the Multiverse below.

What Lies in the Multiverse is a story-driven, 2D 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.

When a gifted boy (known only as The Kid) is zapped into a totally new universe, he encounters Everett – a sarcastic, eccentric, and mysterious scientist with the power to shift dimensions. Bonded with a dangerous mutual curiosity for parallel worlds, they embark on an investigation into the unknown. Together they venture off to a strange island where they will find key answers about Everett’s past and the universe, all while being hunted by old yet dubious acquaintances who are looking to capture them and put a stop to their dimension shifting shenanigans.
