Our take on ZXC

Instead of centering adventure progression on story discovery, the game places a character without a backstory inside a notebook and makes escape through hazardous movement the main structure. Its hand-drawn setting also functions as the route and obstacle field.

What is ZXC?

ZXC follows a character drawn without a story who tries to escape from a notebook.

Progress involves climbing through sketch-like backgrounds, avoiding obstacles and traps, and selecting places to land among interactive objects. Bouncy surfaces provide places for the character to rest, while various contraptions interfere with movement. The controls are simple, but the game presents challenging routes and high-risk decisions. Progress saves automatically, supporting repeated play through the notebook. The environments use classic graphics and paper-based artwork with a hand-drawn appearance. Players can travel through these backgrounds while dealing with hazards placed along the route.

How ZXC plays

01Interactive Objects: Objects in the environment affect the character and influence possible landing places.
02Trap-Filled Routes: Hidden hazards and other contraptions obstruct movement through the drawn environments.
03Automatic Saving: The game saves progress automatically.
04Bouncing Surfaces: Springy parts of the background provide places for the character to land and rest.
05Sketch-Style Environments: The stages use paper-like scenes with backgrounds that resemble hand-drawn artwork.
