Maneuver with grace as you perform precise movements, grapple with accuracy, and solve mind-bending puzzles to escape this digital world. 

What Happened – Through Worlds pulls players inward to the digital world as Evelyn, a programmer, finds a mysterious project hidden in the archives, which then transports her to an unknown world cobbled together by fragments of data and the erosion of code that affects the very landscape Evelyn ventures into.

Mysteries, maneuvers, and much more 

What Happened – Through Worlds transports you into a universe where reality blends with fantasy, as you plunge deeper into this mysterious environment, you gather that even gravity is warped, and platforms bend and shift at a moment's notice. This game presents itself to be vibrant. However at times, the colors do not match with the tone of the levels, making its colors drab or contradictory. 

Master dynamic movements and precise grappling mechanics to progress between levels, and adapt to gravity-defying platforms, and various puzzles you may encounter.  Along the way, this journey introduces player choice, determining the fate of the journey based on Evelyn’s choices. Alternatively, paths taken or not lead to branching paths and revelations for players to uncover. However, a minor issue is that the platforming can be repetitive after a while. 

With an extensive narrative and branching paths, players are given a mystery to unfold. Gather clues and decipher decaying fragments to find the truth behind this unknown world. Immerse yourself in a deep narrative as you escape this digital hellscape. However, some players can find the dialogue too much, which can be frustrating especially for those who seek to replay the game.

A mixed experience for a unique platformer
