How it feels

A hand-drawn sandbox where your own drawings shape the world and story, offering creative freedom and non-linear choices.

What players say

Players praise the creative concept of drawing your own characters but overwhelmingly report the game was abandoned early in development, with buggy mechanics and unfun combat. A few find the artistic side charming for the price, but most call it unplayable.
