There's more to multiverses than star T cameos, you know - though the potential for drama is unlimited. When a material that can poke holes between universes is discovered here, it's not long before Things Go Very Wrong at the facility dedicated to mining it. And lucky you, it's your job to go in and fix things with violence, dying repeatedly along the way. There aren't spider-people in this multiverse, but there are giant spiders...

In truth, the multiverse aspect of the story only bleeds into the action very faintly. This game is easily identified as a soul like wearing science fiction trousers, a prospect that will probably either immediately interest or repel you. Either way, it's worth noting that Massive Work Studio makes a real effort to carve out an individual identity for Dolmen.
