About the Game

GRIBOUILLE is an exploration game that takes place entirely inside my sketchbook.
For hundreds of days, I drew one page every single day. Today, those pages have become a world you can explore.

You play as a small character wandering through my sketchbook, page after page.
Every page you collect is a piece of my learning journey, and also a checkpoint that helps you progress through this scattered notebook you must piece back together.

And more importantly: you can draw directly inside the world of the game.
Just like in a real sketchbook, you’re free to doodle, annotate, scribble, or leave your own marks.

A poetic exploration adventure

No enemies, no combat.
GRIBOUILLE is an artistic walk, a game where you look around, discover, climb, wander… and sometimes get lost.
It plays like visiting an art exhibition, but inside a 2D world.

Collection & progression

Each page you find:

  • becomes a checkpoint

  • represents one day from my year-long learning process

  • can unlock a new ability

300 original drawings

All taken from my 300-day daily drawing challenge.
Every page comes with a small piece of story.

Summary

GRIBOUILLE is an art exhibition turned into a video game.
It is a contemplative, poetic, and personal experience where you explore a sketchbook the way you would explore an art gallery… but with the freedom of a platformer.
