Why can’t we learn physics in the same way we learn games?
Explore the laws of physics like never before in Newton's Fourth Law, where each puzzle is a lesson and every level deepens your understanding of the universe. From projectile motion to quantum physics, Dive into hands-on challenges that bring physics equations to life, inspired by classics like Portal and The Stanley Parable. But who exactly are you and what are you doing in this facility? Who is the mysterious voice guiding and chastising you? Learn the rules of our universe, then uncover the mystery that is breaking them. Developed by a passionate high school physics teacher, this game challenges you to solve problems using real scientific methods.
Forget about educational science simulations that look like they were made before the internet. It's time to level up how we learn.
Visualize key physics concepts!
Inspect Your Surroundings to gather Information.
Master progressively more difficult physics puzzles using real world physics concepts and equations.
Experience physics in a completely new immersive way.
Uncover the intertwined destinies of Dorian, the luckiest man who ever lived, and Sheryll, a scientist who confronts the secrets of The Institute, and piece together your role in this expansive galaxy spanning sci-fi story.
Question everything.
We have to do actual calculations in this game?
Yes!
As a high school physics teacher who loves video games, I always wished somebody could create a game that captures the wonder of videogames with the educational rigor of a real science class. So, I made it myself.
If you are studying physics in school or college, or just have an interest in physics and some of the deeper questions that science evokes, then this is the game for you.
This looks too hard for me!
I want to make this game accessible for everybody to learn physics. The game contains plenty of environmental cues to help guide you, as well as a hint system if you get stuck.
Don’t worry—Newton’s Fourth Law is designed to make physics accessible. With built-in visualizations and a hint system.
The puzzles in this game are designed around a high school physics syllabus, including AP, IB, A-levels and other national curricula and currently cover the following topics:
Linear motion
Projectile motion
Forces
Energy
Collisions
Circular motion
Join us in shaping the future of Newton's Fourth Law! Early Access players will help expand our physics universe, with new levels and topics added regularly.
