Ruben & Lullaby are lovers having their first fight, and whether they break up or make up depends on you. A new kind of entertainment called an “opertoon,” Ruben & Lullaby is part comic, part game, part musical instrument, and controlled with motions and gestures which enable you to shape the feelings of the characters.
