The story is generally considered simple and short, with some reviewers noting it has potential that is not fully realized. While the main plot is seen as having a cool concept, it ultimately falls flat, though the bonus chapter is praised for adding depth and staying true to the original narrative. Overall, the story is viewed as adequate for a hidden object game, but not a primary draw for players.
“The bonus chapter was brilliantly done because it stayed with the story of Drawn: The Painted Tower and added a new part to the story.”
“Seriously, the main plot could easily be turned into a Netflix mini-series for kids/teenagers.”
“However, what I seem to have romanticized about the original game is the story.”
“Very short with a small story.”
“Revisiting the game, the story has so much potential in the beginning (just watch the trailer), but falls short quickly after.”
“Currently I could've gotten Cyberpunk or Far Cry 5 for the same money... not to mention that even for a casual player like my girlfriend, you burn through the main story + bonus chapter in 4 hours, including toilet and snack breaks.”
