RMMV DW (an adventure/RPG)

SYNOPSIS

Spoiler

DW is an adventure/RPG game set in a colorful world made up of drawings. You play as Jake, a human teenager who finds himself trapped in this world. Unfortunately for him, the people there don't take kindly to humans. Armed only with a mysterious paint brush capable of unique powers, you must find a way to escape from this world while avoiding the police through the use of disguises. Gameplay leans heavily into adventure game territory, with emphasis on completing side quests and interacting with NPCs. Side quests are unique and varied, ranging from things like running a store to fighting gang members. Rather than grind through fighting, you gain levels by completing these side quests. The battle system is decision-based, requiring you to use a revolving suite of tools, tricks, and abilities to get the upper hand on foes. Abilities change based on what disguise Jake is wearing in any particular chapter. There are six chapters overall, and the game is very story-centric. Each chapter has you exploring a different locale. There's also a post-game developer commentary mode.

SETTING AND/OR WORLD DEVELOPMENT

Spoiler

• DW takes place in... well, DW. It's a world of drawings, and weirdly mirrors real life in many ways. While the game takes place in only one of DW's three major countries (Drawing America), it's home to a lot of weird and colorful locales, from a bustling city to a town modeled after the Wild West. Drawing America enforces rule of law through its extensive police network, which works side by side with the Drawing America Military (DAM) to hunt down any and all threats to society. Unfortunately for Jake, that includes human beings.

The fact all the tiles are quite literally re-drawn and simplified, and thats the point of the setting, is charming in a way.
