Is Drawn Story worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Puzzle-adventure players who enjoy solving obstacles through experimentation
- Players who want to draw objects without needing advanced artistic skill
- Adventure fans who prefer several possible approaches to individual puzzles
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat-focused gameplay may bounce off the puzzle-led structure.
- Players wanting a tightly linear challenge may dislike choosing between several solutions.
- Players looking for advanced drawing mechanics may find the required sketching skills limited.
Our take on Drawn Story
The bounce point arrives when a puzzle requires inventing a useful object rather than selecting one from a fixed inventory. Players comfortable with experimentation can try alternate tools, while those looking for explicit instructions may stall at the drawing step.
What is Drawn Story?
Drawn Story combines puzzle solving with adventure in a world painted on paper.
The game switches between a stickman inside the scene and an artist viewing it from above. The stickman can walk, climb, jump, and use objects, while the artist creates tools and other items by drawing them. Players can draw objects such as saws, boats, oars, keys, and axes to address obstacles in different ways. Puzzles involve boarding ships, passing guards, exploring castles, rescuing princesses, and escaping giant eagle nests. Several solutions may be available for an obstacle, and only limited drawing ability is needed to create useful objects.
