The Beyond

The Beyond is an interactive comic about a character whose death was a tragedy and whose afterlife is a mystery. With Xochitl as your guide, you follow paths through the doors of the great library of the Beyond, uncovering a tale of sorcery, deception and discovery.

Choose your path

You move from panel to panel, choosing which direction to take when a path divides. There are no puzzles beyond understanding the story, and you can browse freely or jump straight to the end.

The comic’s layout

The game faithfully adapts The Beyond, book #2 in Jason Shiga’s Adventuregame Comics series, also published in hardcover by Abrams Books. Its pages and tabs have been reformatted into a single enormous spread, where the story flows in every direction at once, using Scott McCloud’s “infinite canvas” principle.
