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
