Draw

About

Draw is a 2D platformer mixed with visual novel elements where you control Stickman, a character who navigates a paper-like world using a pencil. Solve puzzles by sketching objects that interact with the environment, battle scribble-based enemies, and progress through a story shaped by dialogue choices. The game blends side-scrolling exploration with narrative-driven moments, letting you influence relationships and outcomes as you move through levels that resemble lined notebook pages. The game stands out for its creative use of drawing mechanics, which feel intuitive and varied. While the story touches on heavy themes like isolation and mental health, it does so through abstract character interactions rather than direct exposition. With a runtime of around 8, 10 hours, it balances puzzle-solving and storytelling without leaning too hard on either. The art style and paper-themed world design have drawn praise from early players for feeling distinct within the indie scene.

Storyline

As “Stickman,” you will navigate a lined-paper world of fun puzzles and doodle monsters. You’ll encounter different characters representing unique individuals in Nathan’s life who play a vital role in his journey of self-sabotage, isolation, depression, acceptance, and recovery.
