About Drawn Before Demo

Play as a pencil-sketched character and journey through hand-drawn levels in this story-based platformer. Explore sketches, paintings, and diary entries to reveal the story of one ordinary man’s life through the 80s, 90s, 00s and up to the modern era.

  • A narrative-based, single player adventure with a focus on environmental variety, story, and challenge.

  • Simple and intuitive controls - move, jump, dash, and a few other surprises here and there.

  • Regular checkpoints throughout areas, with instant respawns. Game saves at the start of each new level.

  • Zero skill-trees, unlockables, or purchasable items. Just raw, honest platforming (with the occasional power up of course).

  • Original music, composed with care for each level of the game.

This demo consists of 3 levels with varying art styles taken from different eras in which the game is set. It provides an overview of the style and some of the gameplay mechanics which will feature in the finished game.
