The whole think takes place in the Fantasy world of the Elder Scrolls Games series, however, I think this comic manages to do things with the universe that are even more fun than the official properties that it is based upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, in a special way, it is sort of a game in of itself, and not just a comic. In the same style made famous by MS Paint Adventures, PREQUEL is a user-driven comic, and as as such, its readers can also choose to be its players, and its artist also plays the role of the gamemaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of every episode, readers can use the chat box to &#8220;Submit Command&#8221; and then these suggestions become the protagonist&#8217;s inner thoughts, urges, intuitions, hunches, inspirations, second-guesses, and self-deprecating cat puns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is very funny, very creative, and on rare occasions, (possibly by accident) inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read it at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prequeladventure.com\/\">https:\/\/www.prequeladventure.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Read my <a href=\"https:\/\/james.hamsterrepublic.com\/writing\/\">Book<\/a>! \u2013 James Paige<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the year of 2020, one of my favorite ways to relax and de-stress was to read web comics and graphic novels.
