A LIVE! Comic is HTML and Javascript/jQuery to display the text and images of the comic/game, along with occasional special effects. Another way to think of it is as a game with linear gameplay (a single play-path through the game). It is viewable/playable with a web browser (though Internet Explorer is somewhat less compatible, as usual — try to use a different browser if you can, though that is not essential). To view a LIVE! Comic, unzip it into a temporary folder, then browse the .html file in that temporary folder with your choice of web browser. That’s all there is to it. Have fun.
