Scrib Dies a Lot

About the game

Reviewed by the EarnVera team · 9 Nov 2026 · How we review

Scrib Dies a Lot is a 2D puzzle platformer set inside a student's sketchbook. You guide Scrib, a fragile sketched hero, across notebook pages littered with pencil tips, coffee stains, paperclips, staples and wet ink.

The twist is that you can fold the page itself. When a gap is too wide or an obstacle too deadly, a crease brings distant platforms together and opens a route to the exit portal. There are 100 handcrafted levels across several worlds. Move with A and D or the arrows, jump with Space, and fold or unfold with F or Shift; on a phone there are on-screen buttons. It suits players who like spatial puzzles mixed with careful platforming.

Tips

• Study the whole page before moving; think about which fold would join the platforms.
• Unfold the page again if a crease has not opened the route you expected.
• Expect to die often; each failed attempt shows you a little more of the route.
