About this game
Crayation: The First Sketch
A Survival Platformer Horror Experience
Step into the abandoned Crayation Plaza as Melissa Chen, a podcaster investigating the mysterious shutdown of the beloved children’s attraction. What starts as a simple exploration spirals into a fight for survival when the colorful crayon mascots come to life… and they aren’t so friendly anymore.
Gameplay Features
Survive the Night: Last until 6 AM while each hour introduces a new mascot with its own unique behavior.
Stacking Threats: Every mascot remains active after its debut, forcing you to manage multiple mechanics at once.
Platformer Survival Horror: Navigate multi-level rooms, jump broken catwalks, crawl into vents, and use environmental tools to evade danger.
Defense Mechanic: Activate buttons at the right moment to temporarily banish mascots.
Atmospheric Exploration: Search for hidden notes and audio tapes to uncover Crayation Plaza’s dark history.
Replay Value: Randomized mascot spawn timings, key placements, and hidden lore encourage multiple playthroughs.
The Mascots
Red Rudy → Freeze when you see him… or die when you don’t.
Blue Bella → Giggles mean danger; hide within 5 seconds.
Yellow Yanni → Once spotted, prepare for relentless chase sequences.
Green Gary → Master the lights, or risk being hunted in total darkness.
Violet Vicky → Her violin screeches demand absolute stillness.
Mark-0 (secret antagonist) → Corrupts the mascots, breaking their rules entirely.
