Crayation: The First Sketch

Crayation: The First Sketch

A Mascot Horror Visual Novel Experience

"Color never fades. It's memory that lies."

About the Game

Explore the eerie remains of Crayation Plaza — once a friendly world of creativity. You are Melissa Chen, a podcaster of true crime cases with a photographic memory, who vanished a year ago… only to awaken in the plaza, sealed away from the rest of the world.

Mascots designed to inspire now torment her with extensive recall games, distorted environments, and sullied sketches. Reality is a melting wax when Melissa discovers the evil legacy of Crayation Inc.

Key Features

Photographic Memory Mechanic – Reconstruct notes, maps, and security footage to uncover the truth.

Twisted Mascot Encounters – Red Rudy, Blue Bella, Yellow Yanni, and more who no longer remember being kind.

Point-and-Click Memory Puzzles – Reveal false memories, untangle mangled audio, and navigate through logic-based traps.

Multiple Chase & Game Over Sequences – The incorrect decisions linger. Pick wrongly, and the crayon mascots remember.

VHS Staff Logs & Ghost Children Whispers – Reveal foreboding recordings and ghostly whispers that hint at what came before.

6 Full Chapters – Each with special puzzles, hand-crafted scenes, and original sprite artwork.

Can You Escape The Sketcher?

Melissa's only hope is to sketch herself out — before she's drawn into permanent memory. One misfire of a memory could rewire who she ever was.
