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.

God is a GeekLyle CarrMar 20229/10What Lies in the Multiverse is a sublime puzzle platformer. The puzzles are engaging and the story balances comedy and drama with aplomb.

Duuro MagazineKrist DuroMar 2022The story is interesting, well written and it succeeds in balancing often hilarious moments and serious themes. The gameplay is great too, with inventive puzzles that don’t overstay their welcome. What Lies In The Multiverse is absolutely brilliant.

Gaming NexusRussell ArcheyMar 20229/10What Lies in the Multiverse is one of the most fun indie games I've played in quite some time. The puzzle-aspect of it is rather on the easy side for most of the game with nothing too complex, but where the game really shines is the story. If you have a few hours and about fifteen dollars to spare, definitely take a look and see What Lies in the Multiverse

GameGrinArtura DawnMar 20226/10What Lies in the Multiverse pulls itself in every direction, trying to tell both a comedic and tragic story, which ultimately works against its favour. The gameplay is enjoyable throughout most of the journey but soon stagnates at an easy difficulty.

SoftpediaCosmin VasileMar 20227/10What Lies in the Multiverse is a short, but intense experience. Unfortunately, the fun is overshadowed by the loose control scheme and the fact that not even the latest patch fixes the issues of the corrupt save file. It is too bad, especially since the character design and the dialogues are quite inspired.
