Drawn to Life requires the player to create a hero in order to free a cursed village from an encroaching darkness. It features numerous platforming levels, a top-down central village, and other elements such as vehicles, weapons, and platforms, which are drawn or colored by the player using the stylus.
Two sequels followed, both under the title Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter – one released for the DS, and another released for the Wii.
