ABOUT THE GAME Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Scrabdackle is hand-drawn using traditional animation techniques, with tons of curious creatures to study, characters to squabble with, and tough-but-fair bosses to overcome, made by one developer who was maybe a little over-ambitious about all this. Here’s the setup: When the wizard academy is attacked, novice student Blue is thrown out the academy’s window and face-first into the unfamiliar world outside. Pushed out of their sheltered life, Blue reluctantly sets off on a long journey home, learning to navigate the world of Scrabdackle for the first time. Along the way, they’ll contend with daunting foes as well as uncomfortable truths as they reckon with just how much of the world outside differs from their books in the academy. It’s a big game with a huge, sprawling world worth getting lost in - if you’re up for a bit of adventure! GAMEPLAY Scrabdackle is a scribbly, open-world adventure drawing from zeldalike, soulslike, and metroidvania influences. You can explore the world in whatever direction you want, but may be blocked from some pathways until you learn a new spell to help you get by. Or you can just turn around and head somewhere else first instead! Nearly all spells, bosses, and regions of the game can be found in any order. While exploring, you’ll come across tons of hidden secrets and challenges, characters with their own storylines to progress, mysteries about the world to slowly piece together, and endless things to study and write about in your academy notebook. Chat with the locals to get your bearings, or walk away mid-con
