Meanwhile is a comic, but not an ordinary comic. Follow the paths from panel to panel. Where the path divides, you decide where to go next! A thrilling tale of quantum mechanics and self-discovery with 3,856 story possibilities.
This is a faithful adaptation of Jason Shiga’s classic choose-your-path comic book (originally published in hardcover in 2010). Our goal is not to make the comic “more interactive”, but to present the interactivity inherent in the story. We have not attempted to turn the book into an adventure game. There are no puzzles – except for your understanding of the story, which is entirely up to you. Just as in a physical book, you are free to browse around, or even jump straight to the end if you want.
The electronic medium allows us to improve on the book in one way: we can take advantage of Scott McCloud’s “infinite canvas” principle. Jason has reformatted the book’s pages and tabs into a single enormous spread, in which the story flows in every direction at once.
But what did happen to little Jimmy?

Definitely not worth $10-
Aside from that, it was fun to revisit a childhood book and actually fully understand the story. I do wish there was an option to fully hide panels you hadn't visited yet, as I was spoiled on one of the codes because I looked at a different path. Yeah there's one code that depends on this (it's in a path normally inaccessible), but yeah
This comic was a formative experience for me in elementary school. The library had a physical copy and I read through countless times, following the paths and tabs, finding secrets more through brute force than cleverly figuring out how Professor K's inventions fit together. Realizing the truth at the end of it all rocked me to the core. Finding Ultima hit just as hard.
For the record, you can still pick up a physical copy of this book for ten bucks. It's exactly the same price as this digital release, which is probably the reason for the steep price tag. This interactive version exists mostly as a matter of preservation. I recommend the book way more - there's a tactile experience you don't get with this version. But whichever way you do it, I recommend experiencing Meanwhile *somehow*, and this is a fine way to do it.
