The Musgrave Ritual

comic website

My thesis project is a browser-based, interactive comic that combines elements of classic detective fiction with digital storytelling. Its aim is to transform the passive reader into an active investigator. Since users tend to engage less with dense text in digital environments, the story is primarily conveyed through visual means, following the logic of comic narratives. The project is based on The Musgrave Ritual, one of Arthur Conan Doyle’s early Sherlock Holmes stories. The visual style draws from noir aesthetics, enhancing the atmospheric quality of the detective experience. Within the linear narrative, users progress through the story via scroll-based animations and interactive clues embedded throughout the interface.
