About Drawn Story

✦ AI summary

Drawn Story is a puzzle adventure where you draw items to help a stickman navigate a painted world, with multiple creative solutions for every challenge. Sketch whatever comes to mind—a saw, a boat, a key, an axe—and watch your stickman use it to overcome obstacles, explore castles, and solve puzzles in inventive ways.

Play as an artist looking at a painted world. You're able to create new items in this world by simply drawing them. Use your own imagination to lead a stickman character through a variety of puzzles by drawing things he can use. There’s always a few ways to solve each puzzle.

Drawn Story is a puzzle/adventure video game about a world painted on a sheet of paper. You control a stickman character living inside this world and an artist with a pencil in hand looking at the paper from above. As a stickman, you can walk, climb, jump and use different items. As an artist, you are able to create new items in this painted world by drawing them.

Your stickman is always in need for some handy items to have his problems solved. Draw a saw and the character would go cut some wood. Or draw him a whole boat so he would not have to use the saw. Draw an oar and he would get a boat moving. Draw a key to open a locked door. Or draw an axe to crush through this door. There’s always a few ways to deal with an issue.

In Drawn Story you need to lead the stickman through a variety of puzzles: board ships, make your way past guards, explore castles, save princesses, escape giant eagle nests and so on. Your common sense and imagination will be your best buddies. Little drawing skills are required to create new items. After all, you’re just playing an artist and you don’t have to be a real one. But no one stops you from enjoying your drawing either.

✦ AI summary

Drawn Story features an innovative drawing-based puzzle mechanic that players find fun and challenging, with creative problem-solving at its core, though the drawing recognition system can be inconsistent and sometimes humorous in its failures. The main criticisms center on the game's very short length, lack of updates over many years, and technical issues that make some players unable to play it at all. Players express interest in the concept but note the game feels abandoned, making it a risky purchase given its current state and lack of ongoing support.

This game is AWESOME! The puzzles with tons of different ways to solve are a nice challenge. Drawing your way to succes is both fun and challenging. Although the game is only in Alpha right now, and not everything is working properly (like recoginition whether I had drawn a Guitar or a Gun (which is both frustrating and funny xD )), the game is DEFINATELY WORTH BUYING!

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
