Draw

Draw is a 2D side-scroller about grief and acceptance, told through the doodles of Nathan, a high schooler grieving the recent loss of a friend. You play as Stickman in a lined-paper world, solving puzzles by drawing objects that interact with the environment and avoiding doodle monsters. Along the way, you meet characters who represent people in Nathan’s life and take part in his journey through self-sabotage, isolation, depression, acceptance and recovery.

Puzzles and drawing

Draw includes over 30 puzzles and three types of object physics. You use your mouse to draw objects that affect the environment.

Story and characters

The game includes 600+ lines of dialogue, visual novel-style cutscenes that explore the characters’ lives, and 30 hand-drawn animations and cutscenes. Its story is told through a stick-figure art style inspired by late-2000s Flash fighting games.

Soundtrack and length

A soundtrack featuring nine songs accompanies 1–2 hours of gameplay.
