The iOS release follows the Steam and Android versions, which arrived on October 30, and the game supports cross-play across all three platforms, so players on different devices can share a room code or meet through random matchmaking. The game is an online drawing party game for 2 to 8 players: members of the Miskatonic University Art Club draw from descriptions of mythos beings recorded in the Necronomicon, then guess which being each drawing depicts. A match runs five rounds, and players score by guessing other members' prompts correctly and by having their own prompt guessed. The player with the most points becomes the outstanding member. Character illustrations are by Kantaro. Supported languages are Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.
Prompts in a match are strange descriptive phrases rather than being names, such as "the very concepts of up and down are becoming ambiguous" and "nameless things are protruding and writhing in several streaks." The art club president can also change the drawing conditions mid-game, calling for sketches in black and white or warning players to watch their remaining ink. The higher a player's score climbs, the higher their madness level rises, and the paper warps as the lines begin to undulate.
Collected drawings fill a personal Necronomicon. Each illustration gathered in a match adds pages to the book, and the story with club president Toth advances page by page. The press release teases that Toth's true form is revealed at the end of that story.
- All-School Attendance Day: a community event on November 3, 2026 (Tuesday, a national holiday), 21:00 to 23:00 Japan time, run through random matchmaking.
- How to join: from the title screen, select "Draw with everyone," then "Find an opponent." Joining partway through is allowed.
- Devices in the event: Steam (Windows/Mac), iPhone/iPad, and Android, all in the same matchmaking pool.
