Overview
#IDARB, or "It Draws A Red Box," started out with a drawing of a red box. From there, the developers at Other Ocean turned to contributions from Twitter and other friends, eventually sculpting the project into a proper video game. Developed by Other Ocean Interactive, the game launch on the Xbox One in February 2015 as part of the monthly Games with Gold promotion. The game will also be released on the PC, featuring Cross Platform Multiplayer with the Xbox One.
The game has a character creator, allowing players to generate things other than red boxes for use in the game.
