Overview and Gameplay
Comic artist Sketch Turner is pulled into his own creation, where the villain Mortus draws enemies and traps directly onto the page. This 1995 Sega Genesis action game turns comic panels into compact combat rooms, platforming challenges, puzzles, and branching routes.
Sketch fights through three episodes divided into six pages. Progress depends on defeating mutants, breaking through panel borders, activating switches, avoiding hazards, and choosing between alternate exits. The game is known for its striking presentation and demanding health management.
