October 1st, 2021 – Warsaw, Poland and Santiago, Chile | Untold Tales along with Studio Voyager + IguanaBee have announced the dramatic comedy adventure, What Lies in the Multiverse.

The game is planned to release on PC, PS4, Switch and Xbox One in early 2022. A playable demo will be available on Steam starting today, Friday October 1st, 2021.

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.
