''Drawn To Death'' was a third-person ArenaShooter based in a high school kid's notebook. Characters fight to the death for their creator's amusement, if they don't they are erased for ever. Players brawl through alien infested towns, pits of blood and ghosts, and even gladiatorial coliseums.

Created by The Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency (including David Jaffe, creator of ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'' and ''VideoGame/GodOfWar''), this game is a UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 exclusive on the Playstation Network. Originally a "free to play game done right" it instead became a full price title, free for Playstation Plus members only. Instead, the game focuses more on including a lot of mechanics and secrets for players to explore and mess around with. Some weapons are simple such as the FU-47 [[StandardFPSGuns (the game's standard assault rifle)]], while some are more complicated such as the Shaxe [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon (a combination shotgun chainsaw with axe blades)]] that requires a mini-game input for best results. Character's also have a variety of passives, abilities, and specials.

* HolidayMode: The game updated around Easter to unlock a few free taunts themed on the holiday as well as a few other aesthetic changes like replacing the hearts in one of the match types with giant easter eggs.
** Another update added a bunch of free christmas themed character skins to the game...in the middle of the summer, oddly enough.

* SugarApocalypse: The Sugar High map added in an update. Compared to the other maps it is very colorful and pleasant to look at. It's also the site of a brutal battle to the death between the player characters and contains just as much dark humor as the rest of the game. The best part? The update also gave out a series of free crayon drawn skins for the player characters so that they don't look out of place while reducing each other to bloody chucks.
