Another fantastic trip to Gravity Falls. Join Shmebulock the gnome on the one night a year he can speak words other than his name as he shares four new stories featuring the Pines family. Enjoy laughs as the characters break the fourth wall, encounter strange occurrences around town, and learn some important life lessons. Each story has its own charm while still fitting nicely into the world we know and love.

Hilarious, mysterious, and weird. Everything we’ve come to expect from Gravity Falls.

Also includes ciphers throughout the stories with hidden messages. You can decode them yourself or find their meanings here.

I loved each of the stories and can’t really pick a favorite. But I will say I was seriously impressed by “Comix Up!” for its cool incorporation of different comic styles. “Face It” is delightfully creepy while having a sweet message. “Don’t Dimension It” is everything you’d want in an interdimensional travel adventure. And “Pines Bros Mystery” gives a fun glimpse into the Pines brothers’ adventures growing up.

All around, a great collection of mini-adventures.
