About the game

A bombastic puzzle platformer about worlds turned inside out. Shift dimensions at the push of a button, solve brain-twisting logistical riddles, and race through the wilds of the multiverse in a bleakly hilarious (and hilariously bleak) story where everything you know can turn on a dime.

What players say

What lies in the end… are a few achievements you might have missed. Coming from a Chilean studio, this narrative puzzle platformer lets you switch between universes to alter the environment of a level and provide a challenging way to overcome obstacles. Each of them feels different and given the game can be beaten in around 8 hours none of them overstate their welcome even if they could be cumbersome to traverse...

Such a fun and interesting puzzler! Swapping between different dimensions is such a unique and clever idea and the various realities we see add new mechanics that keep the game feeling fresh! The puzzles are all well implemented and the platforming is super satisfying and built around its mechanics! I also really liked the story and characters, and it did a great job balancing the humor with more serious moments...

Nonsense cave puzzle in chapter 2, where you have to splint and jump across the ice platforms while switching into another universe to cross the waterfall that was supposed to be frozen. Too insensitive for the character to reach the edge of the platform to climb up, fall and try again and again.
