How Liberated Set out to Revolutionize Comics through Video Games

Hello folks! We’re the team behind Be liberated, we’re very excited to finally join the Xbox community, and we’d like to tell you about how we set out to revolutionize digital comics by making… a game.

Be liberated is something a little bit different – it’s about one-half action-adventure game and one-half noir cyberpunk graphic novel.

It’s a comic book that you play like a game. It’s a game that is comic-like. We’ve had that argument too many times. However, we can agree on one point:

Be liberated is vision – a proposal for a future where comics become something more.

Our thought process was something along the lines of:

How was your experience reading the last comic book you downloaded to your tablet or phone? Did it look like a digital scanner of the paperback book, or was it somehow distorted to be readable? The words and art all present, but the experience somehow un-whole – missing the touch, the scent, and the shimmer. Although the convenience was wonderful, did it make up for all that was lost in translation

Can’t We Do More?

So we started to search for answers. As certified geeks, we just had to turn to our consoles.

The idea of creating a website was born. It is true digital comic – one written and developed exclusively for screens and interactions: a sharp blend of video games and comics, a digital graphic novel so damn digital it couldn’t possibly work any other way.

An interactive graphic novel. Where the Beloved Form is…

• The First: meticulously rebuilt and simulated (and we’ve gone to great lengths here, down to the very movement of your eyes scanning each page, a very specific shine of paper, and that scratchy scratch it makes with each turn).
• Second: enriched in every possible way, hand-drawn art brought to life with delicate animation; the mood and tone of each scene made real with elaborate soundscapes, and perhaps most importantly…
• Troisième: You shape it. It’s an action-adventure game after all! You’ll sprint across comic book panels, you’ll crack doors and break codes, you’ll fight for survival and glory, and there may even come a time to make a hard, lasting decision.

So yeah, we can’t recreate every physical minutia of paperback comics – but at this point maybe we can give you a whole lot more.
