Scrabdackle

The magical misadventure of a novice wizard thrown (literally) into the unfamiliar world outside. Go on a sprawling hand-drawn adventure with spells to study, bosses to best, and a huge handcrafted world to traverse on the long journey home. 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.

  • Expansive, non-linear world allows for high replayability. The map can be navigated in any order on any playthrough. Try a different route every time!
  • Secret characters, areas, storylines and oddities hidden where you least expect them. The more you explore, the more you'll be rewarded with unexpected and delightful encounters.
  • Tough-but-fair bosses with tight, challenging combat. With some practice, you can walk away from any fight unscathed. Or, toggle assist settings to define your own challenge.
  • Unique storybook visual style made with hand-drawn line art and a pixelated brush.
  • Optional dialogue that doesn't take control away from the player. Just walk away mid-conversation, and characters will wave you off.
  • Fill out your official wizardly notebook by scrying new creatures and documenting your findings! Review your field logs any time to see the world in closer detail!
  • Charming original soundtrack with new tracks for every corner of the world.
  • Tons of spells to master. Swap magic powers on the fly to face any type of challenge any way you want!
