MEANWHILE: an interactive comic by Jason Shiga On the way home from the ice cream store, little Jimmy discovers a mad scientist’s wonderland: an experimental mind-reading helmet, a time machine, and a doomsday device that can annihilate the human race. Which one would you like to test out first? MEANWHILE is not an ordinary comic. YOU make the choices that determine how the story unfolds. MEANWHILE splits off into thousands of different adventures. Most will end in DOOM and DISASTER. Only one path will lead you to happiness and success. - A thrilling adventure of quantum physics, self-discovery, and kids getting into trouble. (We mentioned the doomsday device, right?) - Completely redesigned by the author for an infinite scrollable canvas. - Full audio accessibility with VoiceOver; every panel and choice can be spoken.
I loved the book as a kid
I can't believe I payed for this, it wasn't as great as I remember. I passed it a lot faster than last time.
Genius!
Thank you for the breakthrough approach to interactive comics!

More coming, I hope?
Wow
Very good comic
Amazing
I read the book before I played the game and the game actually works even better. It's basically a choose your own adventure book in graphic novel form.
Amazing
There are so many brilliant details in Meanwhile. It's fun to work through, and try to figure out how combining things can lead to new situations. i really appreciate that they took a book that had been turned into a poster and kept that tactile feel in the transition to iOS. For instance, it has access code puzzles that are implemented in a way that were amazing for a print medium, and I really love that they stayed the same here instead of switching to buttons. The only critical thing I can say about the game is that the monotonous click sound is horrible. No big deal.
