I posted all the links last week, but today is launch day so let's have 'em again! Playable right now.
The Beyond, Adventuregame Comics #2, by Jason Shiga
The Beyond is now available for Mac, Windows, Linux, and Steam Deck!
Your death was a tragedy... your afterlife is a mystery. Unravel the secrets of death with the help of Xochitl, your guide. Can you find your way through the doors of the great library of the Beyond?
- The Beyond on Steam
- The Beyond on Itch.IO (launch sale link here!)
- The Beyond as a hardback book
- and for iPhone/iPad? Hopefully early next year...
The Beyond has been selected as an exhibitor in the AdventureX Steam Festival for 2024!
(Among august company, to be sure. I've played part or all of Lil' Guardsman, Murder on Space Station 52, Two Falls, Your House, and of course Highland Song. Not to neglect honorable mentions Slay the Princess, Observation, Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, OPUS Starsong, Monkey Island, and Talos Principle 2. All worth a look. And, again, those are just the ones I've tried. I'll be adding many more of the AdvX selections to my to-play pile.)
Leviathan, Adventuregame Comics #1, by Jason Shiga
Leviathan is now available for iPhone and iPad! (As well as all the desktop platforms.)
A seaside village – and a monstrous threat. Explore as you choose, by day or by night. Can you unravel the secrets of history and defeat the Leviathan?
- Leviathan on the App Store (iPhone/iPad)
- Leviathan on Steam
- Leviathan on Itch.IO
- Leviathan as a hardback book
Whew. That's all for now. Happy launch day, and, you know, good luck with everything else this week.

@zarfeblong thanks -- I saw this on my Steam wishlist but forgot about it before I could buy it, got it now. (but probably can't play it until after my final exam...)
Looks like the iOS version of Leviathan plays pretty reasonably on MacOS. You don’t get keyboard or controller support, and I don’t think there’s a way to zoom (unless maybe a trackpad gesture works?) But it plays.
I’ll be updating the iOS version of Meanwhile to offer this as an install option. Honestly it’s easier than maintaining a sandboxed version of the Mac Steam app on the Mac App Store.
