Drawn Down

Drawn Down isn't terrible but it's clearly an amateur effort. You'll either find it surprisingly competent or surprisingly incompetent, it really depends on your expectations going in. There's a lot of good ideas with below average execution. The plot isn't great but no worse than a soap opera plot. The puzzles aren't great but there's potential. The whole game needs a fresh coat of paint and another hour worth of puzzles that build on the concepts introduced. As it stands the game probably isn't worth your time. There's much worse out there but there's also nothing particularly compelling here. There are plenty of other games, free or not, that do similar ideas better. It's an inoffensive 2 hour adventure if you're really curious.

[h1]Practice makes perfect[/h1] [b][i]Drawn Down[/i][/b] is an old-school AGS-style point-and-click adventure made using the Unity engine. When you start the game, you are immediately greeted by terrible pixel-art with little-to-no shadows and amateurish dithering, dull voice-acting (at first, I have thought that the main character is voiced-over by a bot), and the messed up first location exit area (hard to click). The temptation to turn off the game at this point was truly excruciating; nevertheless, I had persisted. We arrive to the station to find out that the protagonist is an artist working for the London Police Department. Among other things, a peculiar mini game happens where you have to sketch the con based on the witness' description - that neat engaging element is repeated multiple times throughout the game story ([spoiler]it is even incorporated into the best ending scenario - however, the whole plausibility of a riot-control robot from the mid-2050s not being able to distinguish between a drawing and a real-life person is nigh impossible (additionally, in that scene one can just walk out into the clear and run around the villain - nothing is going to happen, that ju…

This was a really fun and simple to pick up and play short point and click adventure. For the price its more than worth it. I can't wait to see more from the guy who created it. 8/10

Studio Hazy, make more and longer please, very entertaining P&C.

I love P&C games. I love retro P&C games even more. This game was much better than I thought it would be, sorry if that sounds bad. It didn't have a lot of reviews, so I skeptical. Sure, it's rough around the edges, but decent. I thought most of the voice acting was pretty damn good. I didn't expect that. The story was okay and a little weird. I like weird ;-) It was short and I do wish it was longer. However, wishing a game was longer isn't a bad thing all the time! It means I wanted more because I enjoyed it. It's only $3 and I think it's worth it. I look forward to more from this dev.

It's quite an engaging story, but i am mostly fan of the pixelart.
