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?

“The game is already fully playable: 36 heroes, 11 worlds with their bosses, 1-4 player local co-op and the creator to play as your own drawings. We want to keep drawing the notebook together with players: which hero is too strong, which world is boring, what they draw.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for about 6 to 9 months, with a big update every 4-6 weeks.”

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

“We plan to add more worlds (up to 20 plus an epilogue), their bosses and enemies, more heroes, a soundtrack for every world, built-in online co-op (today: Steam Remote Play Together) and balance based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Start to finish: 36 heroes, 11 worlds, 22 bosses, 33 mini-bosses, 36 weapons with evolutions, 21 tomes, cards, pencil cases, items, shrines, MY DRAWINGS (draw and play your own hero), unlocks, talent camp and saves. Local co-op for 1 to 4 players and Remote Play Together. English and Spanish.”

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

“We do not plan to raise the price during Early Access. The price may increase when the full version launches.”

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

“Through the Steam forums and a poll with every update: which world comes next and which hero needs tuning. Runs are deterministic, so a bug report with the seed can be reproduced exactly.”

About This Game

Rakuworld survival is a handmade horde-survival game, like a school notebook that escaped into the 3D world of an old console.

Draw your hero. Then play as it.

In MY DRAWINGS you sketch a puppet with crayons, part by part, and watch it move in 3D right away. Give it a class (warrior, mage, elf or healer) and take it into a run with its own kit, level and talents.

36 paper cut-out heroes

Crayon and colored-pencil puppets with a white scissor edge, in four classes. Each one has a signature weapon, a passive, a power and an ultimate. Unlock them as you advance through the worlds.

The horde never stops

Hundreds of scribbles at once across 11 worlds: the Notebook Field, a Giant Desk, Toy Town, the Cardboard Pyramids, a Paper Tokyo that never sleeps, the Sky Islands and more. Every world has its own horde, three mini-bosses and two bosses: 22 bosses and 33 mini-bosses in all.



Build your combo

36 weapons, each with an evolution, and 21 tomes. Level-up cards with rarities, pencil cases, stacking items and shrines around the map.

With friends

1 to 4 players on one screen, with gamepad or keyboard, and online with Steam Remote Play Together.

Always something new

Heroes and worlds that unlock in a chain, per-hero levels and a talent camp between runs.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The game's code, its English translation and the store texts were written with the help of an AI assistant. All characters, worlds and music are generated procedurally by the game's own engine code (crayon-style drawing and synthesized sound), and every piece was reviewed and approved by the developer. No content is generated by AI while you play.
