About the Game

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 and 00s.

  • 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.
