Meanwhile vs Lenguard

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.

Warning: Mature, dark, unhappy ending for some By the creators of Timecrest—Apple’s Best of 2015 and NYTimes recommended. * * * A new adventure awaits. I have visited so many worlds and I want to show you them all. Though I’m afraid this one isn’t a vacation destination. A part of me doesn’t want to expose you to this particular world, even though you’re strong. While this place has tons of new and beautiful sights to see, I've found it is also dreary and horrifying at times. Not to mention, it’s far from the world you know and what you’re used to, so I wouldn’t mind it if you skipped out. But for selfish reasons, I’m glad you’re here. I do need your help with Lenguard and I’m beyond curious to see what you can do. Your powers are perhaps the only thing that will make a difference. So if you do choose to visit this place, it would be…a personal favor to me. :) If you don’t know me yet, just know that I believe in you. Of course, things still may not go our way even with your abilities. Though, since it’s you, I always have hope that fate can be changed. -C * * * Coffee Intensity rating: Dark Roast More than a book. Be a part of this epic fantasy. The universe works in mysterious ways, and it has brought you here for a reason. Lenguard is a horror fantasy where you have become a magical entity known as an Eon with the ability to bless people with wondrous, coveted gifts in this cold, rainy world ruled by vicious, titanic monsters known as Arks. You will meet four strangers who appear to be randomly thrown together. Will one become your favorite or will you find them unworthy of your blessings once you get to know them? That’s not all. Nothing good comes for free, not in Lenguard. In exchange for these gifts, they will be tasked with the goal of reaching the White Veil. In a world where few live beyond 30, those you have blessed hope that the Veil will be their ticket out of this cruel world. But does something sinister await? Everything is not as random as it may seem. What is the White Veil? Who is the enigmatic “C” character that seems to imply he knows you? As you read, your true role and those you have blessed will be revealed.

What moments and memories will you give to light up their lives in a dark world? But if you're going to stay for a happy ending, just cover your eyes and your ears before then.
