About Sketch

What to look forward to:
  • It's completely free (no microtransactions either)!
  • Innovative Draw/Erase mechanic
  • Fantastic soundtrack, with 25 gorgeous songs
  • 12 Exhilarating and strategic boss fights
  • 36 Platformer levels, each revealing parts of the rich story
  • 4 In-game achievements per level
  • Non-linear Gameplay: Explore the 12 regions in your own order

Sketch is a game in which you control Am, a being composed of artistic passion, to internally help Taylor deal with the struggles of pursuing an art career. Sketch takes place in the Land of Cere, which is Taylor's mind. The Land of Cere is plagued with many negative thoughts and memories, taking the forms of monsters. These monsters are dimming Taylor's passion to pursue art, so it is Am's duty to erase them and clear Taylor's mind. Am wields a pencil, which can draw shapes to progress through levels and erase enemies to clear Taylor's mind.

Journey through the Land of Cere's 12 regions, each resembling a part of the human mind. Each region introduces more of Taylor's story through 3 platformer levels and 1 boss level. Best of all, you can travel across these regions in any order that you like.

"Sketch" is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro platformers on Steam. Now while you might think this is some kind of Scribblenauts ripoff, it's much shallower than that. It's a basic platformer "brawler", run into enemies with the eraser on your pencil to kill them. The biggest gimmick here is one that quite a few other platformers also use (some of them better than this), where you can draw simple objects that allow you to solve puzzle platformer elements in each level. Yep, that's it, that's all there is to it. The game features really lacklustre hand drawn 2D visuals (I know that's the point, but does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work tha…
