Get ready for a mind-bending journey into the subconscious in Comanauts, the second adventure in Jerry Hawthorne's Adventure Book system, following the acclaimed Stuffed Fables. This one's a bit more serious and aimed at a mature audience, but with the same beloved blend of exploration and danger. Here's the lowdown: Dr. Martin Strobal, a genius of our time, is in a deep coma after his invention, the Mobius Ring – which promised unlimited clean energy – malfunctioned and created a singularity threatening to engulf the world. To save the planet, we need to bring Dr. Strobal back, and the only way is to dive into his mind and confront the demons holding him captive. In Comanauts, you're the rescue team, racing against time to explore the doctor's tormented mind. Together, you'll unravel the secrets of his subconscious, following Strobal's inner child through eleven different 'Comazones.' Your goal? Locate and defeat the Inner Demon that holds Dr. Strobal hostage. You'll have 22 unique avatars at your disposal, each with their own quirks, to navigate the dangers and mysteries of each world within the doctor's dream. Can you free Dr. Strobal from his own mind before it's too late and the world turns to dust? It's an exciting race against time and the depths of the human psyche! ## FAQ ### What is the average playtime for Comanauts? A session of Comanauts typically lasts between 90 and 120 minutes.
