Drawn to Life: Collection

The Drawn to Life Collection includes Drawn to Life and Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter games. Drawn to Life is a two-dimensional game where users must create characters, weapons and accessories, platforms, and items. The “Raposa,” or anthropomorphic fox-like entities, are the primary “race” of creatures inhabiting the Drawn to Life universe (“Raposa” means “fox” in Portuguese). The Creator drew them and created their universe and everything in it. However, the Creator abandoned the Raposa a long time ago. The narrative opens with a Raposa called Mari pleading with the player, the Creator, to help her rescue her town. You meet her best friend, Jowee, and her father, the Mayor, along the journey. These people are the last of the villagers. You create a hero for them, only to meet Wilfre, a corrupted Raposa who dabbled in creation and produced an army of wicked shadow-like monsters. Will you be able to preserve the Raposa race and their hamlet, or will the shadow creatures completely take over? Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter follows the same premise as the original game but takes place after an unknown length of time. The game starts with a bizarre scenario in which an unidentified party asks the player, “What do you remember about that day?” The player is offered various dialogue options that form a cohesive depiction of “that day,” although the player is unaware of the event’s significance (or even occurrence) at this time. Before the game can begin, the player is requested to draw a picture of this strange sight, which introduces them to the game’s primary “draw” capability. Following this comes an animated sequence in which one of the previous game’s protagonists, Heather, recovers from a nightmare. She is revealed to be wearing a red diamond pendant. Heather discovers a wand in a beached treasure box at night, and in the same sequence, darkness envelops her. The following day, when the other characters notice she has vanished, Wilfred ends their search for her by forcing most of the Raposa villagers to leave, admitting that he is Heather’s prisoner, and eventually draining the Village of Color. The remaining characters retreat on the back of a giant turtle that the Creator provided at their request. The game depicts Raposa’s effort to rejoin their brethren and, with the help of the Creator’s Hero of Creation, vanquish Wilfre before he can fulfill his unknown aims. The village’s remaining people migrate to Watersong, Lavasteam, the Galactic Jungle, and Wilfre’s Wasteland, a merger of all three communities.
