Meanwhile: An Interactive Comic Book Reviews

this game is very fun but i completed it in a hour somehow well this game is very fun go buy it

https://youtu.be/h1j8u8Rjblg A cute hook is worth a lot, but the super thin amount of content is over before it really gets started.

An exciting jaunt through a little time travel, mind reading adventure. Choose your ice cream wisely. Simple premise and art style. Great choice based gameplay. https://youtu.be/2Hh4NgmYd_E

this game is so good. might get more of Jason Shiga's books after this.

This comic was a formative experience for me in elementary school. The library had a physical copy and I read through countless times, following the paths and tabs, finding secrets more through brute force than cleverly figuring out how Professor K's inventions fit together. Realizing the truth at the end of it all rocked me to the core. Finding Ultima hit just as hard. For the record, you can still pick up a physical copy of this book for ten bucks. It's exactly the same price as this digital release, which is probably the reason for the steep price tag. This interactive version exists mostly as a matter of preservation. I recommend the book way more - there's a tactile experience you don't get with this version. But whichever way you do it, I recommend experiencing Meanwhile *somehow*, and this is a fine way to do it.

Maybe a little pricey, but I enjoyed the content I got, and I like to occasionally read through it again.

Not sure if I'm missing something, but there's seems to be very very little content here. I was pretty disappointed after purchasing it - wish I had requested a refund. The art is adorable and the story quirky enough, but there just wasn't very much to it - I guess I finished it in less than 2 hours? You know how there's a snapshot of a bunch of comic book panels in the storefront slideshow - I think that's the entire experience.

Definitely not worth $10- Aside from that, it was fun to revisit a childhood book and actually fully understand the story. I do wish there was an option to fully hide panels you hadn't visited yet, as I was spoiled on one of the codes because I looked at a different path. [spoiler]Yeah there's one code that depends on this (it's in a path normally inaccessible), but yeah[/spoiler]

The story is beautiful. The game is fun, but the content is underwhelming. A 1 dollar price tag would be better suited for a game like this--10 dollars is simply way too much for a game with about 40 minutes of content,

Jason Shiga's amazing comic in digital form. While the book is still my preferred method of navigating, I'm really glad that more people are able to experience this for the first time. If you liked this, be sure to check out his other work that's available online for free, the math mystery thriller Fleep and his sprawling epic Demon, they're both worth your time.
