ADVENTUREGAME COMICS VOL 01 HC LEVIATHAN

Gosh! Best of 2022

Or more accurately Adventuregame Comics Vol 01 Leviathan, in which you, the reader, explore a medieval coastal village in order to find some way of defeating the mysterious sea creature that terrorizes the townsfolk. Jason Shiga is not new to narrative trickery in his comics. His last, Meanwhile, was a brilliant exercise in interactive narrative. He follows a similar path with Leviathan, the first of a series of choose-your-own-adventure style stories that almost have the feel of a classic Lucasarts adventure game. This time around he's utilised a few new tricks, but still never breaking the immersion, and he's also pitched a bit younger. Those familiar with Shiga need no encouragement, but those who aren't: now's your chance.

If you're lucky, you may find your way to the old wizard who may possess the one thing that could keep the Leviathan at bay. But not everything is as it appears in this village. Can you discover the secrets and stop the Leviathan before it's too late?
