History Videogame / DrawnToLife

* TheFaceless: Samuel (Barely).
* ThankTheMaker: Literally.
* ThisCannotBe: Wilfre at the end of the first game.

-->'''Jowee:''' Erm... What if we lived in a white box with two windows... and the box had buttons... and a magic wand! And the Creator used that to examine our lives... And control what we do! What do you think?

The rights to the IP were purchased by 505 Games for $300K USD by 505 Games from the THQ auction.

* XMeetsY: ''VideoGame/ActRaiser'' meets ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing''.

* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Wilfre, before he transformed.

* AerithAndBob

** In the last stage of the first world in the Wii version, there's a section where you must climb up sloped platforms while dodging large, rolling obstacles to reach the level's boss - a giant ape - at the top. [[DonkeyKong Sound familiar?]]

** [[spoiler: [[FridgeBrilliance Dreams don't]] [[OwlCity turn to dust.]]]]

* XMeetsY: ActRaiser meets AnimalCrossing.

A sequel called Drawn To Life: The Next Chapter has been made. The version for the Wii happens directly after Drawn to Life, but before Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter on the DS. The Next Chapter features a much darker storyline, incredibly improved drawing functions, better platforming, no arbitrary outlines where you can only color things in...

5th Cell, the games' developer, went on to make ''{{Scribblenauts}}'', which does to words what ''Drawn to Life'' did for images.

This game contains examples of:

* AGodIsYou: You are the Creator who [[TitleDrop drew everything to life]].

<<|PlatformGame|>>

* SdrawkcabName: [[spoiler: Skraby Zarc]], otherwise known as [[spoiler: Crazy Barks]]. A brief ChekhovsGun in the second DS game.

* BookEnds: At the beginning of ''The Next Chapter'' for DS, the player must answer questions and draw a picture of a NoodleIncident, and shows a request to the Creator in gibberish. At the end of the game, [[spoiler: after the world fades away, it shows Heather and Mike, while Heather is shown answering the questions asked at the beginning of the game. The request to the Creator turns out to be a prayer to God for Mike to get better.]]

* GoMadFromTheRevelation: In the third game. [[spoiler:Mari]] doesn't quite go mad, but [[spoiler:she]] does [[spoiler:join Wilfre. Might qualify as a FaithHeelTurn, or a HeelFaceMindscrew if you toss in some AlternateCharacterInterpretation.]]

* DolledUpInstallment: ''SpongeBobSquarePants Edition''; sort of a subversion, as that title was built from the ground up. In other words, a MissionPackSequel with a license slapped on it. To be fair, it's almost completely different as the levels are challenging and there are more customization options than in the first game and its sequels. However, the hero is stuck with the lousy name [=DoodlePants=].

Drawn to Life is a video game developed by 5th Cell about a village inhabited by "Raposa," small furry creatures supposedly meant to be foxes. The Raposa village you name later has been under attack by Wilfre, who covers the village in shadow (feel familiar, anyone?). Mari then asks the Creator for help. [[AGodIsYou You're the Creator]], and you draw a hero to help. This hero... well, you can draw it and it moves. Pretty cool gimmick. The hero must travel across the world, through the four gates in the village, defeating the shadow, returning the lost Raposa to the village, and collecting the missing pages of the Book of Life to restore the village to its former glory.

* SdrawkcabName: [[spoiler: Skraby Zarc]], otherwise known as [[spoiler: Crazy Barks]]. A brief CheckhovsGun in the second DS game.

* ObviouslyEvil: Wilfre. [[spoiler: [[WellIntentionedExtremist Except he isn't.]] ]]

* FridgeLogic: Wait, where exactly was everyone going after Wilfre tore the pages out of the Book of Life?

* CheatCode: [[spoiler: Hold L and R and press A, X, B, B, Y]] in the first game to become invincible for the duration of one level/boss.

* DolledUpInstallment: ''SpongeBobSquarePants Edition''; sort of a subversion, as that title was built from the ground up. In other words, a MissionPackSequel with a license slapped on it. To be fair, it's almost completely different, and it's BetterThanItSounds, as the levels are challenging and there are more customization options than in the first game and its sequels. However, the hero is stuck with the lousy name [=DoodlePants=].

* [[spoiler: AllJustADream: The ending of ''The Next Chapter''.]]
