Look Into My Eyes is an innovative horror comic series combining a gripping narrative with interactive storytelling. Set in Cravenwood, a small town on Fortune Island nicknamed "The Quiet Island," where cell phones don't work due to a vast radio telescope.
The story begins with the mysterious disappearance of Suzy, a high school student. Cravenwood, seemingly peaceful, hides a dark history of Indigenous curses, witch hunts, and serial killers. The arrival of CannonCorp’s 1CC network introduces the social platform Knock Knock, reshaping the lives of its residents and creating toxic social hierarchies while masking a sinister corporate agenda. At the center is RJ Nguyen, a conspiracy-obsessed teenager and editor of the zine The Twisted Eye.
Skeptical of Knock Knock’s influence, RJ investigates Suzy’s disappearance and uncovers disturbing truths about CannonCorp’s experiments. QR codes embedded in the comic allow readers to access multimedia content like social media profiles and podcasts, immersing them in Cravenwood’s world. As horrifying, full-of-eyes monsters emerge—symbolizing the insecurities of Cravenwood’s teens—RJ discovers the true evil behind CannonCorp.
The series explores themes like social media’s impact on mental health, generational disconnects, and societal control. Influenced by Junji Ito’s body horror, Serial Experiments Lain, Black Mirror, and Twin Peaks, Look Into My Eyes blends visceral horror with sharp social commentary. Its interactive format elevates it beyond traditional comics, offering readers a unique bridge between print and digital storytelling.
