Ok, this is actually a decent puzzle game, beside I think that what shines more in this game is the story, since it's, lets say interesting. It has its funny and serious moments. But for a game with the title about Multiverse, it's a bit binary regarding that. The only issue is that I had to sacrificed my prized Toriel Card to get enough change to buy the game, but gladly, this is a good game. This game is a puzzle platformer game, where you play as the Kid (yes, the main character is never named, beside he tries many times to tell his name, and fails). The Kid can can walk, run, climb, and even swap dimensions depending on case to pass through areas and challenges. In the prologue, I thought the multiverses were between Good and Bad, but I don't think it's accurate anymore. Beside the Red multiverse is still like a bad version of the reality, the normal one still has its shade of grey, which can be clearly seen on the metropolis level. The only moment where the game actually gets 3 multiverses in the same level, is in the final chapter, but you have no control over shifting it, since it shifts by itself after a certain delay depending on area. The game also seems to confuse sometimes dimensions with planets, since even Everett sometimes says the names of certain dimensions like as if were names of planets you'd see on Starbound, but it's actually about different realities of the same place. The story of the game is actually interesting to follow, even more due to Everett and how he deals with situations. I'd say he's literally the star of the show heh. There's a good chunk of humour, like how most characters in the game always hit the Kid with their shocking pistol (and somehow Everett is never hit). The game itself also tries to keep some shade of grey regarding characters - except for Nash - since even though the other characters are "kind of the villains" of the story, they were written in a way where you can feel that they are human too, and get to care about them. Being that later in the game, they end up shifting their way and help aswell to achieve the goal. So you can sympathize with them (except for Nash). Like, even the Kid ends up helping one of the antagonists of the game with her insecurity. Nash is way too centered into trying to capture Everett, and he doesn't end up showing any good trait about himself, except maybe his determination and insistence, even being rude to some of his colleagues aswell. That makes me not blame anyone for not caring about something that happens to him in the game, beside that actually affects the people who he was friends with. Most areas has some kind of calamity that happened to it on the Bad version, but I think that Chapter 1 has one of the most shocking ones, because is the only chapter that has the presence of life native to it in it. I have no clear clue of what happened there, if people were passing through some kind if famine, or if people were turning into zombies (maybe they were turning into zombies, since one of the memories talk about someone's eyes shifting). Even though some journals throughout the chapter can give clues on what kind of calamity happened (except on the Concrete Jungle level), I really think that the Chapter 1 was the one that made me most intrigued, even since the prologue. Probably because of the presence of life, and seeing how much that place shifted including on the people lives, instead of simply having everyone in it showing up dead. This is actually definitely a game for adults, since the game some times has things that only an adult can stomach. Like for example, in the bad version of chapter 1, there is a starving dog devouring a child, and in the chapter 7, there is a guy "making use of a bodypillow" in a hidden room. The only thing I find kind of off is a part in the end where the kid is knocked out, and plays a cutscene that has a injured man walking. I think I have an idea of who he is, and know why the cutscene was played but... It feels really off the moment it played. Even more since hardly there's any depiction of the subject in the game, and also his resemblance to the Kid (I nearly thought at the moment that the Kid was trapped in the place he was until adulthood or something). At some points, I thought the game would break the 4th wall at the end of the game, just like Undertale normal ending does but... Nope, beside it kicks you to the main menu once in the story, it doesn't actually get "weirder", which was kind of a relief. And for a game with normal and bad multiverses, it's actually bizarre to see that it doesn't actually have a bad ending. Actually, there's no actual choices in the game: The game itself is pretty linear. It has 2 endings: one that plays once you beat the game, and another one that playes after the game credits, if you got all the memories during the gameplay (which is literally an alternate version of the game intro). So don't worry about the end, just enjoy the ride. A thing that I think that is a major downside though, is that I can't take screenshots of the gameplay through Steam. Even though in the Prologue version I was able to, kinda disappointing that it's not possible on the release version. Anyways, I liked the game, and hopefully will try to get all achievements on it. Would have been nice if I could have taken some memories from it with the F12 key, but oh well. I doubt the developers even check this game anymore. Edit: As a side note, I have no idea why the cat shows up in the game promotional images of the game, alongside the Kid and Everett. The cat only stays on the Kid's bedroom throughout all the game, and only shows up a few times during gameplay (only shows up once outside the Intro and Credits as a secret cutscene).

This game concept is unfathomably simple yet it’s executed perfectly and well enough that I’ll struggle with a puzzle but still be able to figure it out without just bashing my head against a wall for hours. The story is great while holding that goofy aspect and running gags. A sequel would complete my life 11/10
