Drawn Down

Good game. Worth it for the price, but it is very short. It has a nice story to go along with some old school, fun point and click mechanics. Unfortunately it has no intriguing or original challenging puzzles (though the drawing mechanic is fun), but this only lets the story and the world building - which I admired - shine through. I hope we'll get to see more from this developer eventually.
Recommended.
7/10

I didn't quite know what to expect when I started the game. I am a sucker for pixel art point and click adventure games. This one is a nice gem of a find. There's some interesting plot threads, and a good level of interactivity with the various mechanics that do make it feel like there's more to puzzle solving than just dragging items over others to progress.
The voice acting is also a nice touch but it can be a bit spotty in places.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this game, especially at the price. I'm looking forward to more from the creator.

Practice makes perfect
Drawn Down is an old-school AGS-style point-and-click adventure made using the Unity engine. When you start the game, you are immediately greeted by terrible pixel-art with little-to-no shadows and amateurish dithering, dull voice-acting (at first, I have thought that the main character is voiced-over by a bot), and the messed up first location exit area (hard to click). The temptation to turn off the game at this point was truly excruciating; nevertheless, I had persisted.
We arrive to the station to find out that the protagonist is an artist working for the London Police Department. Among other things, a peculiar mini game happens where you have to sketch the con based on the witness' description - that neat engaging element is repeated multiple times throughout the game story (it is even incorporated into the best ending scenario - however, the whole plausibility of a riot-control robot from the mid-2050s not being able to distinguish between a drawing and a real-life person is nigh impossible (additionally, in that scene one can just walk out into the clear and run around the villain - nothing is going to happen, that just kills the tension!)), which certainly helps the player to submerge into the plot. The rest of the locations are pretty generic for the not-so-distant future sci-fi, a blend between Ghost In The Shell, Blade Runner, and Detroit: Become Human - however, a few landscapes are truly gorgeous (like the city view in the hobo town).
The characters do their job but are not memorable, with the exception of Frank who is the only one graced with the decent voice acting. The story unwinds at a steady pace, the dialogues are not overwhelming, and the finale is fitting (and also has some groovy tune). More detective work (e.g. cross-referencing the data bits using the AI DB interface provided by the main character's smartphone) would be appreciated - alas, the investigatory content is disappointingly lacking. An occasional joke is brilliant, though, somewhat making up for it! Most importantly, the interactions required to progress the story further are logical, including from the game context's perspective (the only tedious bit was the pixel-hunting I had to do to find the CCTV near the gallery - the world detalization is not sufficient for such kind of activities).
The game blesses you with the option to run towards the location's exit - a feature that more point-and-click adventure games should provide. However, some of the other technical decisions are a miss - there are not enough descriptions for the interactable objects, nor there are plenty of them in general. Additionally, the dialogue and item-hover boxes are the standard Unity ones along with the font used for them and they look unsightly and out of place.
There are a few plausibility issues here and there (e.g. the ability to access and interact with random devices at the police station via a terminal without entering any kind of password) - whilst they serve the plot, it is hard to overlook such shortcomings, as the game strives to be a cyberpunk-themed work: a genre in which the logics and believability of human-technology interaction are vital.
To summarise, it is an OK game which would definitely benefit in its development from some more experienced creators. It is akin to a good daytime TV show - it is enjoyable but not quite there yet. Surely, I could have been doing something more productive or play a better video game, but I do not regret spending a few hours on this title - it was a pretty good time.
I would recommend grabbing it on sale, especially if you are fond of point-and-click adventure games.

Game was fun. Good but not great.
Worth the price paid but really could have developed the characters more for the narrative to be impactful. It tried to do to much for it's ~2 hour story and didn't really give the player a reason to care about any of the individuals that were present in the game.
It's a cool little world that was created, but it really lacked the extra exposition to have us care about any of the things that are occurring. Overall, glad to see things like this are being created and hope to see more games from this dev.

I love P&C games. I love retro P&C games even more. This game was much better than I thought it would be, sorry if that sounds bad. It didn't have a lot of reviews, so I skeptical. Sure, it's rough around the edges, but decent. I thought most of the voice acting was pretty damn good. I didn't expect that. The story was okay and a little weird. I like weird ;-) It was short and I do wish it was longer. However, wishing a game was longer isn't a bad thing all the time! It means I wanted more because I enjoyed it. It's only $3 and I think it's worth it. I look forward to more from this dev.

Studio Hazy, make more and longer please, very entertaining P&C.

It's a short game, but for £2.09, I can't really argue. As a point and click adventure game, it's nothing that taxing, but the logic is more or less sensible aside from the occasional moment where the game is a little unclear about what to do next, but that's nothing uncommon in the genre. I stumbled upon this game by chance and it's a shame more people don't seem to have discovered it as it is a hidden little gem and I hope that the dev decides to take another stab at a game like this as I certainly would play it.
