Took me a while to do this, I'm surprised a Critical Response section wasn't added yet
After numerous confrontations with Wilfre, he finally tricks The Mayor into appearing alone, and kills him. Mari and the villagers are devastated, but after seeing the village descend into chaos, decide to band together and stop Wilfre for good. The Hero defeats Wilfre, and returns to the Village. Jowee plans to leave on a treasure hunt, and after saying goodbye, Mari reminisces about the past, upset about losing her dad and best friend. The story ends with Mari on the beach, shocked at seeing Jowee walk up behind her. She runs to him happily, watched over by the spirit of The Mayor, and The Hero, on the cliff above.

The DS version of Drawn to Life received mostly positive reviews from critics, with many complimenting the concept, visuals, and story, whilst criticism was skewed towards the latter's repetitiveness and gameplay described by some outlets as "uninspired". According to Metacritic, the reviews aggregated resulted in a total score of 73/100 based on 34 reviews<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/drawn-to-life/ Drawn to Life, Metacritic]</ref>, labelled "Mixed or Average", with no negative reviews counted.
Despite sales numbers of the game being rather obscure, the game was well received by critics in Japan. The review magazine Famitsu awarded the DS version three eights and one seven, bringing in a total positive score of 31/40<ref>[http://nintendoeverything.com/famitsu-review-scores-28/ Famitsu Review Scores, Nintendo Everything]</ref>.
Reception of the iOS release was far less frequent, however the consensus towards this port was much more negative, with the few outlets who published reviews referring to it as a poor transition. Much criticism geared towards the port's poor optimization, particularly the control scheme and music and sound effects being mismatched. Metacritic's aggregated scores for this version resulted in a much lower 53/100 based on just four reviews, still labelled "Mixed or Average", with the critical inverse of no positive reviews.
