About This Demo

Welcome to the demo of Sketchy Fables!

A free preview of the full game. After a short introduction around your house and garden, you'll soon find yourself in a slice of the open world, free to explore. You'll fight enemies, explore dungeons and stumble upon countless secrets. Along the way you'll get to know a few tools and weapons, and the Journal will already give you an idea of how much there is to discover in the full game.

 An Unforeseen Invitation

You wake up in your bedroom at home. In your thoughts lingers the heartwarming invitation to visit your grandmother, who lives in the tallest skyscraper of the bustling city. The world lies open before you, but will you set out on the journey to her, or will unexpected events lead you in a completely different direction? The choice is yours.

Your fights change reality

In Sketchy Fables, your kills determine which layer of the world becomes visible. Spiritual attacks with butterflies or music raise your frequency and reveal beauty. Brutal shotgun kills pull the world downward, into dark layers filled with loss, decay, and the end of lives.
