Multiverse Academy - The Game!

Paul Bristow • April 17, 2025

It's Game On for our comic heroes...

We've had enormous fun with our Multiverse Academy project, experimenting with different story, art and comic styles - we've even managed to include music and audiobooks. But something we weren't expecting, was for the characters to turn up in a video game.


Almost everyone involved in the project enjoys playing games, so when we got the opportunity for students from Glasgow Caledonian University to develop a side scrolling platformer as a whole extra chapter of the story - we jumped at the chance.


It's been great to watch the creative process of the game development team over the last few months as they have pulled it all together - and now you can play it online for free!


Check out the trailer below - and then see how far through the school day you can get by clicking here to play the game.

Inverclyde Storytelling
By Magic Torch Comics October 18, 2021
Earlier this month, we were asked to produce some artwork for the Afrowegian Project , imagining an Afro-Futurist version of the story of real world cycling superhero, Marshall 'Major' Taylor. The comic display panels form part of an exhibition by the riverside in Glasgow throughout October. You can read more about the work of the project and how to get involved. We're looking forward to doing some more collaborative work with Afrowegian's Jim Muotone, down in Inverclyde over the next few months.

Earlier this year, our director Paul Bristow spoke to Tall Tale films as part of CVS Inverclyde's Digital Open Studios project. Check out the short video below to hear Paul chat about storytelling, communities and his creative process for his own writing and his work with Magic Torch Comics CIC. You can also see his fairly messy home office under the stairs...
