Draw is a 2D sidescroller–an artistic story-rich journey of grief and acceptance through the doodles of Nathan, a high schooler dealing with the grief of a recently lost friend.
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.
In creating Draw, we set out to tell a meaningful and impactful story through simple artistic means, drawing heavily from the art style of iconic stick-figure fighting Flash games popular in the late 2000s. Taking inspiration from indie devs in the past who have tackled heavy and emotional topics with maturity and thoughtfulness despite their limited creative and programming resources, we hope to pay tribute to them in our own way through Draw.
This game contains mature themes/topics that may be upsetting to some viewers.
