About The Multi-Medium

The Multi-Medium is a 2D puzzle‑platformer adventure where you explore ten parallel universes, each rendered in a different physical art medium. No digital art was used; every level was painted or drawn, scanned, and animated in‑game.

As an interdimensional explorer you jump, climb, swing, swim, toss, and grapple while meeting strange characters, battling seven bizarre bosses, and uncovering hidden secrets. The game offers a single‑player experience with Steam achievements, full controller support, cloud saves, and family sharing on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

01 / THE GUIDE

Distinct Art Styles per World

Each of the ten worlds features its own visual identity, created by painting or drawing on a physical medium before being scanned into the game. This approach gives every level a unique look that matches its setting and story.

The variety of media ensures that players constantly encounter fresh aesthetics, reinforcing the multiverse theme without any digital art.

  • Observe how the medium influences level layout.
  • Compare visual cues between worlds for hidden paths.

02 / THE GUIDE

New Mechanics in Every Level

Every world introduces a fresh gameplay mechanic to keep the experience lively, ranging from grappling to swimming. These mechanics are tied to the world’s design and story, ensuring each level feels distinct.

The constant introduction of new tools prevents monotony and encourages players to adapt their approach as they progress through the multiverse.

  • Experiment with each new mechanic before advancing.
  • Take note of how mechanics interact with level art.

Bizarre Boss Fights

Seven boss encounters punctuate the journey, each presenting a unique challenge that reflects its world’s style and narrative. These fights test the player’s mastery of the recently introduced mechanics.

Boss designs are intentionally strange, reinforcing the game’s off‑beat tone while providing memorable set‑pieces within the multiverse.

  • Watch boss patterns that echo the world’s art.
  • Use the mechanic introduced in the current level.

04 / THE GUIDE

Strange Characters and Stories

Throughout the ten universes, players meet a variety of odd characters, each contributing to the overarching narrative of being lost in the multiverse. Their dialogues add depth to each world’s setting.

These interactions help define the explorer’s place in each universe and guide the player toward the next destination.

  • Listen for hints about hidden secrets.
  • Compare character quirks across worlds.

05 / THE GUIDE

Secrets in Every Level

Each world hides optional content, encouraging exploration beyond the main path. Secrets may include visual Easter eggs, extra challenges, or lore fragments that enrich the story.

Finding these hidden elements rewards curiosity and adds replay value without altering the core progression.

  • Search corners and off‑screen areas.
  • Check for visual inconsistencies that hint at secrets.
