*** Shake to make them angry. Stroke to make them sad. The future of their relationship is in your hands. ***
Experience a new kind of interactive storytelling with the critically-acclaimed Ruben & Lullaby, a digital comic/game (we call it an “opertoon”) that lets you shape the emotions of a quarreling couple with a touch.
Tilt left and right to advance the story as it unfolds through the faces of the characters, without words. Rub the screen to calm someone down, or shake the phone to make them angry—an interactive jazz score responds to your every movement.
You can try to keep them together, try to break them up, or just enjoy the music you can make out of their circumstances as they react to each other… and to you.
FEATURES:
- A story you play like a musical instrument
- Control the moods of the characters with touch and motion
- Dynamic jazz soundtrack you perform while playing
- Multiple endings
- Illustrations by graphic novelist Ezra Claytan Daniels
COMING SOON IN THE 1.1 UPDATE:
- Rename the characters after you and your significant other, or whomever you want!
- Your custom names will be shown on the title screen and in the new title cards describing each ending
- Post game endings to Facebook with your customized character names
- Optional in-game hints revealing hidden strategies
- And maybe, just maybe, a smile or two :)
