About the game

"A formless chaos, spilling blasphemous bubbles"... what is that supposed to look like?! Illustrate the Necronomicon with the Miskatonic University Art Club in this online draw-and-guess game for 2–8 players.

Original Steam description

Welcome to the Miskatonic University Art Club!

"The very concepts of up and down begin to lose all meaning."

"Countless indescribable appendages protrude from its body, writhing and twisting."

...And that's the kind of description you'll find in the Necronomicon. How is anyone supposed to know what these creatures actually look like?!

That's where the Miskatonic University Art Club comes in! Our job is to illustrate the Necronomicon.

Join the club and draw creatures from the Cthulhu Mythos using nothing but their written descriptions!

But simply drawing a picture isn't enough to get it published. More than half of the other club members need to correctly guess what you've drawn!

HOW TO PLAY

  • Get Your Assignment

    You'll receive the name of a Mythos creature along with a written description of its appearance. Only you can see your description.

  • Draw Your Illustration

    Use the description as your guide to draw the creature before time runs out!

  • Guess the Creatures

    Once everyone has finished drawing, all the illustrations will be displayed without revealing the creatures' names. Try to figure out which creature each illustration represents!

    ※ Watch out! There are decoy answers for creatures nobody drew.

  • Earn Points

    You'll earn points based on:

    ・How many other players' illustrations you identify correctly.

    ・How many other players correctly identify your illustration.

  • Become an Outstanding Member

    Play five rounds and compete for the highest total score. The player with the most points earns the title of "Outstanding Member"!

GAME MODES

  • Play with Friends

    Share a room code to play with your friends. Customize the rules for each room, including drawing tools, time limits, and more.

  • Random Match

    Get automatically matched with other players looking for a game. The game begins once at least two players have joined.

※ Both modes support 2–8 players.

DRAWING TOOLS

  • Crayons

    Draw freely and layer colors to create your illustrations.

  • Shapes

    Combine square, triangle, circle, and star stamps to create your drawings.

And watch out! President Thoth might suddenly give you a special request during the game.

"We can't print in color, so draw in black and white this time!"

"Keep an eye on your ink levels!"

"Make sure you use at least six different colors!"

Do your best to finish your illustration while meeting these unexpected demands!

MADNESS

The more points you earn, the higher your Madness level rises. The paper begins to warp, and your lines start to twist and squirm. Can you finish your drawing while keeping your sanity intact?

GALLERY

Accepted illustrations will be added to your very own Necronomicon. You can also spend points earned in matches to unlock pages for Mythos creatures you haven't drawn yet. As your Necronomicon fills with pages, your story with President Thoth gradually unfolds.

Available in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.

※ Online multiplayer requires at least two players.
