Kommentar:
Schöne Grafik, schöne Musik, Ladebildschirme und technische Probleme, das wird euch bei Drawn: The Painted Tower – wahrscheinlich – erwarten. Ich habe „wahrscheinlich“ bewusst hervorgehoben, denn zumindest die technischen Probleme sind teilweise durch angepasstes Spielverhalten beeinflussbar.

Um gleich an meinen Einleitungssatz anzuknüpfen: Bei meinem ersten Spieldurchgang war ich am Verzweifeln. Das Spiel stürzte ab, es tauchten Grafikfehler auf, es ruckelte und zu allem Überfluss haben mir die Ladebildschirme nach jedem Szenenwechsel zusätzlich die Laune verdorben.

Später gab ich dem Spiel noch eine Chance. Und siehe da, der ganze Spuk war plötzlich vorbei. Was war passiert? Beim ersten Mal hatte ich häufigen Gebrauch des Steam Overlays gemacht und war ab und an rausgetabbt.

Drawn scheint nicht zu 100 % kompatibel mit dem Steam Overlay zu sein und / oder reagiert empfindlich auf raustabben.
Sobald ich vom Steam Overlay einen Hinweis bekam (Nachrichten v. Freunden, erhaltene Errungenschaften) blieb immer ein Schatten im Spiel zurück. Dieser ging erst weg, wenn ich kurz auf das Overlay wechselte.
Bald darauf fing es an zu ruckeln, Grafikfehler tauchten auf und schließlich stürzte das Spiel ab.

An sich ist Drawn kein schlechtes Spiel. Grafik und Musik ist wunderschön und das was dieses Spiel so ausmacht. Aber auch das was als einziges wirklich richtig positiv hervorsticht.

Die Geschichte ist nicht besonderes aber in Ordnung. Wir schlüpfen am Anfang in die Rolle eines namenslosen Helden und erfahren auch im weiteren Verlauf nichts über diesen. Unser einziges Ziel ist es uns durch den Turm zuarbeiten und Iris zu befreien.

Der Schwierigkeitsgrad liegt zwischen leicht und mittel. Gesuchte Gegenstände werden sehr gut in den Szenen integriert und sind daher nicht immer leicht auszumachen. Die Minispiele sind leicht, wenn man weiß, welches Lösungsziel verfolgt wird. Da es in den Minispielen keine Lösungshinweise gibt liegt dort die Herausforderung.

Ich habe lange mit mir gerungen, wie ich dieses Spiel bewerten soll. Viele Spieler werden von der Inkompatibilität mit dem Overlay eventuell nichts mitbekommen haben. Und es ist ein Fehler, denn man vermeiden kann, wenn man sein Spielverhalten anpasst.
Aber ich habe für mich beschlossen, dass ich nicht einfach darüber hinwegsehen kann, wenn ich weiß, dass er da ist.
Auch sollte ich wohl von einem Spiel welches auf Steam veröffentlicht wird auch eine gewisse Kompatibilität mit Steam erwarten können. (Zumindest denke ich mir das so … in meiner naiven Art und Weise.)
In Anbetracht des Verhältnisses aus positiven, neutralen und negativen Punkten habe ich mich, schweren Herzens, dazu entschieden dem Spiel für den Vollpreis keine Empfehlung zu geben.

Zum Schluss noch ein paar Worte zu den Errungenschaften: Diese sind fordernder als bei anderen Spielen dieser Art. Das Spiel muss mindestens zweimal durchgespielt werden. Die Betonung liegt hier auf mindestens. Einige Minispiele müssen übersprungen werden. Einige müssen in einer gewissen Zeit gelöst werden oder in so wenig Zügen wie möglich. Dabei ist die Lösungszeit oder die erlaubte Fehlerquote meist recht eng bemessen.

Fazit: Für den Vollpreis kann ich dieses Spiel nicht empfehlen. Drawn: The Painted Tower ist ein schönes, leichtes Spiel, das durch seine schöne Grafik und Musik besticht. Die Geschichte ist eher flach und kann schnell zusammengefasst werden: Versuche Iris zu retten.
So unauffällig und wenig einprägsam die Geschichte, umso auffälliger waren dagegen die Ladebildschirme. Hinzu kommt außerdem die Inkompatibilität mit dem Steam Overlay, die sich bemerkbar machen kann.

Kauft das Spiel im Angebot für den halben Preis oder weniger, wenn euch mögliche Spielfehler nicht stören.
Als persönlichen Tipp von mir lege ich euch wärmstens ans Herz das Steam Overlay Ingame nicht zu benutzen und auch nicht raustabben.

Drawn ist ein sehr schönes Point&Click-Adventure. Besonders Artwork und Soundtrack, sowie die Gesamtinszenierung haben mich überzeugt.
Spieltechnisch überzeugt es eher weniger - die Rätsel sind meist sehr einfach und das Spiel ist in weniger, als drei Stunden durchgespielt.

Dieses Spiel hat eine sehr schöne und geheimnisvolle Atmosphäre, was vor allem durch die sehr gut gezeichneten Hintergründe und Musik erzeugt wird. Die Rätsel sind meistens sehr leicht, oft muss man nur Gegenstände finden um sie dann einen Kombinationsrätsel (die man überspringen kann) zu verwenden. Leider ist es auch sehr kurz (6 Stunden) und das Ende schreit förmlich nach einer Fortsetzung.

I don't know if anyone still plays this game but I recently played and finished it. It's one of the best puzzle adventure games I've ever played and I always have trouble finding ones I like. They're either too hard, too boring, super quick etc.. Anyways I highly recommend.
- Although since it's and older game it can be glitchy. Not the actual gameplay for me but the cutscenes were actually really glitchy and on the sequel I actually had to quit the game because it kept crashing.

The game will probably bring you back to one of the bizzarre dreams you ever had or mostly used to have during long sleeps. A cute and short game with puzzles that can be skipped if you just wish to enjoy the story as if you are reading a magical fictional novel.

Nope. While I don't usually criticize games for being short, Drawn is only the first game in a trilogy that could have been a single game. The first three quarters are alright, simplistic but reasonably satisfying.

The difficulty of the puzzles also hits a steep curve at the end of the game, but mostly because the game just gives you less direction of what you're trying to accomplish. I ended up finishing at least one puzzle completely at random by the end of the game simply because I didn't know what the goal even was.

Additionally, Drawn also features achievements for finishing puzzles under a time limit, and/or a number of moves. This quickly became stressful. Sure, I could have chosen not to care, but I found myself caring in spite of wanting not to. This is especially bad as the game features no way to replay puzzles or chapters after finishing the story.

Drawn started off fairly strong, and while having no hidden picture game elements, but it ended up feeling like a modern 'hidden picture' point and click adventure, just without the hidden picture sections. I know that's a weird comparison if you haven't played anything out of the genre.

I just can't recommend Drawn: The Painted Tower. It doesn't feel complete, and completely breaks down by the end of it, pity.

Enter a haunted house full of portal paintings, sand, riddles, puzzles, not-so-up-to-code stairs, clocks, and elephants. Abolish the haunt, save the girl. Ever seen a stoned, elderly man weep? You will now.

The Good:

The soundtrack and visuals really work together to create a sad atmosphere.
Become friends with a scarecrow.
Enter paintings to visit new worlds.
The puzzles are moderately challenging.
Several beautifully-painted rooms and landscapes that are at times Tim Burton-y.

The Neutral:

Not all characters are fully voiced; it’s mainly the first person you encounter.
[spoiler]A giant spider.[/spoiler]

The Bad:

The game was not made with widescreen in mind. There’s an aspect ratio setting, but it just makes a 4:3 window fit at the top and bottom borders of the screen.

Pro Tips:

If you plan to 100% the game, there are some missable achievements and you will have to do 1.5 playthroughs.

If you’ve played HOGs (Hidden Object Games) before and enjoyed them, this game is for you. While there are no hidden object scenes, the game’s approach is very much similar to HOGs. You’ll get about 4 hours out of this game.

I did not encounter bugs and crashes mentioned in other reviews. I am also not frustrated by puzzles not being explained, figuring it out is part of the puzzle! I really enjoyed both art and music. My problem with the game is that in the description it is not made clear enough that this is only a chapter of a series. I am willing to forgive a lot for a good story, even a short one, but here the story is incomplete.

I discovered this game so many years ago through Big Fish Games. I'd have to say, the design and storyline for this game is amazing. I love the art style and the way the puzzles interact with the surrounding. Music is beautifully soothing. No regrets getting this game. I only wish that there would be more of this series

One of the most innovative light adventures of it's time( but it has stood the test of time and is every bit as charming as I remember) I played on windows 7 so my experience may be different to those using windows 10. If you like point and click games this should be an essential addition to your game library.
The puzzles vary in difficulty between very easy to ones which really make one think outside the box.
My ONLY con is, the game crashed if I travelled from one area to the other ( this was not from scene to scene but from areas quite a distance from each other. I even tried windowing the game but it still happened. But I didn't lose progress thankfully so it's a small issue. ) Heartily recommended

I actually was really liking the game and thought it was well done and I hadn't run into any bug issues until I encountered a gamebreaking bug where you are supposed to outline some objects and the game outlined 2 of the 3 easy peasy but the third one couldn't be outlined because the game wouldn't recognize the input and this was with a solid 7-10 minutes attempting to do it even going to the extent of exiting the game and trying it again and trying to pixel perfect trace it but still it will not fill in, coupled with the fact I can't even use the auto puzzle complete because it doesn't apply to this sequence this problem hardlocks me into not being able to complete the game so I HAVE to give a not recommended to this game which is a true shame

Iris is a little girl who has the ability to make her drawings come to life (sort of like Simon and his chalk drawings, but this game is a lot more elaborate). She is living in an oppressed and evil kingdom, whose king would like nothing more than having Iris’s powers for himself. Her family sends her into exile to protect her. She goes into hiding in a tower she has constructed in her drawings, making even more paintings in the tower to hide in as well. There you are tasked with finding her in the labyrinth of mazes and gorgeous paintings to save her before the king finds her.

From the first title screen, Drawn: The Painted Tower was nothing but beautiful, sad, and absorbing, with a lovely soundtrack to match.

I had heard lots of good about this game and I really looked forward to playing it. However, I ended up being somewhat disappointed. The Painted Tower looks very pretty and its soundtrack is beautiful too. And the idea of going through different paintings is cool. Unfortunately this is all the nice stuff I can say. I love puzzle games and hidden object games but when it comes to mechanics Painted Tower simply doesn't work. Most of the puzzles have a weird video game logic that makes them somewhat frustrating to solve and solving them doesn't feel very rewarding. Most of the puzzles cannot be solved quickly by realizing a cool logic behind them. The player must usually try different combinations via trial and error and finally end up to the correct solution. How come identical window glass pieces don't fit into each other's places for example? Another issue is that the art style with very little contrast in details makes it very hard to notice small things from the environment.

Imagination and curiosity are some of the most compelling forces in the world and are often portrayed and cherished amongst eternal ideas of youth and childhood. It’s these concepts Big Fish Games have used with Drawn to build a story, playing on universal archetypes of the fairytale to celebrate imagination.

Pros

Ephemeral soundtrack that creates a subdued atmosphere
Gorgeous graphics that bring the paper book world to life
Story is an ode to imagination and creativity
Cons
Sometimes the abstract angles can make it difficult to see where to go
Lack of widescreen or HD support

The threat that hangs over Iris (the princess of an unknown land) is a mysterious quantity. A menace that seeps through the edges of the screen, hiding in the somber tones, and darker hues. And it’s this mystery that compels you forward. Drawn has superbly married its themes, art, story, and gameplay. It’s an ode to fairytales and the childish power of imagination embodied in its elusive princess and disembodied protagonist. Tied together with the whimsy and wonder that only storybooks can portray.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1768742807
Whilst the story is definitely lacking in many areas, Iris herself is well fleshed out. The princess reveals herself through the objects and friends she has created to assuage her lonely life, entrapped in a tower. Her fertile imagination has given rise to varied lands and places through which you explore, and whilst in the beginning this seems akin to the normal imaginings of a child, such as sunny days and windmills, the darker aspects of her life begin to intrude until rather more fearsome beasts come out of the shadows to stand in the way of your progress. The tower through which you ascend to reach Iris is the literal figure of her power entombing both her and her creations is a significant hurdle. The progression of your journey slowly making each new area accessible, is punctuated with these encounters, from the comedic to the tragic. Notes left about give further insight into Iris’s concerns and worries, her motivations, and her dreams. That slowly brings to light the true nature of her situation.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1768743120
Throughout the game, the deft use of abstract symbolism, tied to the commonly accepted requirements of such tales, weaves together the tapestry of Iris’s dreams. The usual bizarreness of puzzle-games solutions perfectly fits the oneiric logic of Iris’s world. Finding birds or having paper keys turn into real ones feels natural, an extension of the dream rather than frustratingly moronic, a problem that adventure games have grappled with throughout their history.
Navigating the tower is easy enough, using the traditional screen by screen movement, with the contextual cursor changing to indicate when you can progress. At some points the directions are obscure, the contorted walls obscuring possible ways to move, as well as the cursor not just moving forward, back or left and right but sometimes diagonally, and only activating on a small section of the screen.

Likewise, the puzzles can be similarly obtuse, whilst the game does provide you hints, attempting a more challenging playthrough without them, can leave you floundering slightly. But for all this the puzzle designs themselves are superb. There are many varieties on display, and they meld beautifully with the world. From classic picture puzzles to pattern recognition and riddles, no puzzle is ever repeated. Combined with the normal mechanics of a point and click adventure, sans combining items and you have the basis for Drawn’s design. There is much that will be familiar to veterans of the genre but the brilliance of the presentation leaves the experience of playing to be an unorthodox one.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1768743617
The graphics are part of this, with their detailed vistas and sharp surreal interiors. The world within the tower is contorted by the fantasies that shape it, and this is enhanced by unique perspectives the artists thrust upon you to view each world. The colours themselves lack definition, with pale shadows that just give a slight hint of depth. It feels very much like a paper cut out world, primarily 2-dimensional but with just a hint of 3d. Of course, this is intentional a hint at the storybook aesthetic the game cultivates, both within the general environment as well as in specific scenes, that are in fact paper dioramas. Sadly though despite the beautiful visuals the game has low resolutions, and doesn’t support HD or widescreen. It is possible to stretch it to full screen, and in most of the landscapes this is fairly effective but it significantly detracts and distorts the puzzle sequences.

The soundtrack that accompanies it all is superb, the orchestral tracks are somber and moody with wailing violins that sound like rushing wind through empty corridors and synthetic voices that create an aura of gloom. It’s fitting considering the state of the kingdom, and the tower itself. This is sometimes juxtaposed with pieces composed in a more favourable key, yet with slow melodies, the tempo keeping the music unintrusive and yet still atmospheric.

There is sadly very little voice acting but what is present is acceptable. Enough emotion is delivered and variation in tone so as not to sound robotic, but it has minimal importance to the game as a whole.

Drawn: The Painted Tower is a beautifully crafted game, with its familiar yet original puzzles and the integration of each area of play to deliver an entertaining package. This is one of the most beautiful interpretations of fairytales into gameplay, and whilst quite short (taking approximately three hours or so to complete will offer a fantastic escape for the duration.

8/10 ~Effervescent~

Drawn 1: The Painted Tower (Adventure-lite)

Options include separate sliders for Music, SFX and Brightness, plus Full-screen, Aspect Ratio (uncheck to stretch to full-screen with no black bars on the sides) and Custom Cursor.

The Drawn series is charming and environmental, and I've really not seen anything else quite like it. This is a tale of darkness and light, and there's a magical quality to them.

Traverse the tower, entering enchanted paintings as you go, and find Iris before The Darkness can.

Gameplay is simple, as far as adventures go. There is no difficulty setting, so I'm afraid you're stuck with having sparkles on your scenes. Your cursor will change to a hand any time there is something you can pick up, and will change to a puzzle piece if you need to use an inventory item.

HINTS are tiered, and are obtained by clicking on the picture of our narrator, Franklin.

Franklin is wonderfully-voiced, setting the tone for the game beautifully. The sound effects and music, combined with his narration tell a story that is somber, but never gloomy.

There are 30 Steam and in-game achievements, and a few of them require you to complete puzzles before the SKIP meter can finish loading, so they can't all be obtained simply by playing the game.

The puzzles themselves are mostly imaginative - not just the usual fare that we've seen time and time again.

Drawn is a magical world that was truly a pleasure to revisit. This game would be great for those who enjoy immersing themselves in a story, and those who are looking for a not-so-challenging adventure to play.

Short version: 91%

Drawn may be old, but its strong visual theme, excellent soundtrack, clever puzzle design, and engaging story still rank it among the very best of casual adventure games.

Long version:

Many casual gamers hail the Drawn trilogy as one of the best lightweight adventure games ever created, and mostly with good reasons. They excel at creating a magical atmosphere through music, visual themes, and by promoting the sheer power of imagination through creativity.

The latter are also the core plot elements in the series, as we soon learn in this first game, where we start out as a nameless stranger who happens on the titular Painted Tower. We learn from its petrified caretaker that we must save a girl named Iris, whose imagination is so strong that she can bring any of her paintings to live, making her the last spark of creativity in an oppressively bleak world.

The paintings are of course a good excuse to add a nice variety in scenery and puzzle elements, both of which form a singular gameplay entity with the excellent soundtrack and visual style to present an immersive, magical adventure game.
From a technical standpoint, its late 2009 standard of a low resolution and some issues with click detection can sit uncomfortable, but these are just insignificant inconveniences compared to the overall game quality.

Drawn is full of beautiful artwork, which is a good job because that's the premise of the game: enter magical paintings to gather clues and find ways of advancing up the tower to rescue Iris. It's a mixture of hidden object finding, using the right objects from your inventory in the right places, and solving a number of moderately taxing puzzles. Well ok, the puzzles aren't that hard to complete, but a number of achievements rely on solving them quickly, or within a certain number of moves, or without making any mistakes. That's actually quite difficult for some of the puzzles on your first attempt where you're trying to figure out what to do, but a second playthrough would snag those. Still, it's not the kind of game to play through more than once, it's a linear story, it's not particularly difficult, and it's over in a little over four hours. As for the ending... what just happened? It was all very rushed, a bit confusing, and left all kinds of questions hanging! I guess it was meant to be a cliffhanger for the sequel, but it felt a bit anticlimactic. Thanks for that. Still, great little puzzle game, pretty easy, looks great, nice music, I liked it. Speaking of the sequel, it doesn't appear to be on Steam yet.
