RRR 2 is a unique Digital Comic featuring realtime animation and control over the viewing angle. The story of part 2 picks up right where part 1 left. We continue the misadventures of this lovable team after they got close to their destination. And discover that their computer has grossly miscalculated the time available to them. With not time to waste their fearless leader, Fur, jumps into action to heroically save the day. Unfortunately things quickly go from bad to worse as they end up having to run for their lives. In this brand new Digital Comic we push the limits of the medium further into the 21st century. After years of experimentation in our laboratory we created a reading experience that lets you immerse yourself in the colourful world of RRR. Featuring a unique visual style, real-time responsive viewing angle and filled to the brim with animations.
