About Drawn Story

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.

Drawn Story is a game with potential. It’s also something a little different. A game with a concept where you must literally draw your own solutions. Of course, you are provided with suggestions in some of the puzzles and are left to your own devices to draw them. The title has the potential to create a very enjoyable game and it’s final release is one that I await with anticipation. The big positive is that the game has the potential to be a very calming and soothing game. Drawing and illustrating has for a long time been considered a relaxing psychological activity. I can definitely see where this has the potential to be perfect in that type of a way. However, at this stage of development it doesn’t provide that sensation for me although the potential is there for everyone to see. The problems in this stage of development are major sticking points for me and outweigh the game’s potential. First, what you perceive to be as the right solution may not be. It took me about fifty attempts to draw the oar for the boat in the first scene. So many of my drawings the game recognized as sabers, swords or even bombs that killed my special little blue guy resetting the puzzle completely. U…

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!
