Overview
Newtonian Horror is a unique 2D platformer that puts players in the shoes of Isaac Newton himself, but in a time before his most famous discovery. Set in 1678, the world lacks gravity, leading to chaos and disarray. Players must harness the power of gravity, their only tool, to navigate this world and thwart the Evil League's attempts to disprove Newton's theories. This free-to-play indie title blends physics-based gameplay with a Lovecraftian twist, offering an experimental approach to the precision platformer genre.

- Free-to-Play Indie Experience: Developed and published by Ege Carkoglu, this game is available for free, offering an experimental 2D pixel graphics platformer experience with a focus on physics puzzles.
Who It's For
