Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“ Some late game balancing and translations will need longer to complete than the current release date.

The first ~500hrs of the game will be polished at Early Access release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“2-3 months”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Primarily the very late game balancing. Also at Early Access many of the translations will be partial machine translations and human translators will need more time to go through and translate it properly.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Fully functional with over 500hrs of gameplay.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No, same price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“There is already a community discord with over 6000 members closely following the development of this game and their feedback and suggestions are constantly being taken into account. Those community members are already active in answering Steam Community Hub questions and will continue to do so when that gets busier after Early Access release.”

About This Game

THE SKETCHBOOK WAS FULL

You didn't make the cut. You are a flawed doodle thrown in the trash. Now you're in the bin with the rest of the rejects, and the only way out is through them. But do not let this minimalist sketchbook aesthetic fool you. Beneath the simple graphite exterior lies an endlessly deep, mathematically massive incremental battler that hides a staggering engine of strategic choices.

MASSIVE PROGRESSION & SKILL TREES

Grind your way through endless waves of rival sketches, absorbing their power as you climb. Gather a wealth of varied currencies to purchase tools and level up over 50 unique battle stats, each drastically altering your combat capabilities. When you push as far as you can go, prestige your run to earn specialized currency and invest it into thousands of intertwined skill tree levels. Whether you are actively managing your builds or fueling idle progression while you're away, there is always a new threshold to break.

A JOURNEY UNIQUELY YOURS

Progression in Rejected Draft is fully randomized. Between your guaranteed core sketches and randomly rolled higher rarity ones, the potential loadout combinations are practically infinite. No optimal path exists until you forge yours. If everyone on Earth played a billion distinct playthroughs a second since the dawn of the universe, humanity still wouldn't scratch the surface of all possible paths. Every prestige shapes an entirely new journey.

DEEP STRATEGY, LOW ATTENTION

This is an incremental experience that demands your strategic reasoning but respects your time. While there are many active elements to engage with, you will unlock expanding layers of automation as you progress. Designed to be the ultimate second-screen companion, it is a highly satisfying procrastination tool that runs perfectly in the background, allowing you to plot your next massive power spike while still getting your real-life work done.
