Crayon Legend

Crayon Legend is a 3D platformer set in a vast magical castle. After finding a magic book, you are transported to the Timelocked Island, where you must search for items to feed a hungry Mimic, free eight nobles and find your way home before time runs out.

The curse of Crayonia

Crayonia was once prosperous, but its eight Royals focused on their own happiness and took wealth from surrounding lands until towns began to dry up and fall into ruin. The Timekeeper, an Enchantress, cursed the Crayonian bloodline: she removed the castle from time, placed the Floating Island in a never-ending rainbow storm, and sent a Never-endingly Hungry Mimic to consume the nobles’ possessions. The nobles became Magic Doors, trapped until the Mimic was sated, while Beholders were left to return any escaping nobles to their frames.

Letters and hints left by the servants, along with narration about areas and objects you find, tell a fairy tale about the castle and its characters. You can hear the narration on demand while holding an item. The game also includes cartoon antics and fourth-wall jokes.

Search the castle

Explore the castle grounds and unlock eight sections, each containing thousands of items. The Mimic requests items and starts a timer; find what it asks for and feed it before time runs out, or it wakes the Beholders. If they catch you before you feed the Mimic, you are thrown out of the castle, and the contents are randomized so you must search that part again. Free all eight nobles to activate the portal.

A physics system makes everything smaller than a treasure chest movable, so you can carry objects through the castle. Run, jump, lift and throw items as you search; if Beholders wake, you can bonk them or dash to safety.

Randomized runs

Each game randomizes the path through the Castle Grounds. Whenever the map or game loads, room contents are randomized, as are the locations of keys and hints. Room contents follow patterns based on the former owners’ preferences, which can help you work out where to search for the Mimic’s requested items. An expanding achievement collection rewards collecting items and experiencing what the Wax Castle has to offer.
