Red Oak Rising was an interactive supernatural mystery and horror comic, hosted on deviantART. After a month of experimentation the creator decided the story was better suited to a traditional format.
Red Oak Rising provides examples of:
- Adventure Game: Apes the style of one.
- Amateur Sleuth: Charlie and Conrad have business cards but that doesn't make them official.
- Cowboy Cop: So far Officer Marten has the hallmarks of one.
- Dramatic Chase Opening: the prologue
- Fair Cop: Pick any of the several cops so far.
- Kid Detective: Charlie is in high school.
- Lovecraft Country:
- Second-Person Narration
- Town with a Dark Secret: Implicit in the pitch.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Charlie and Conrad
