[h2]If you want to know more about the game...[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41890985/1a1c0cd9122665055032d1855e53b35d2b7cdebd.gif[/img] The Perfect Pencil is a surreal action platformer that tells a tale of personal development and investigates the psychology of fear. Join protagonist John as he awakens in a bizarre hand-drawn kingdom and comes face to face with the terrors that dwell in the last place he’d have thought to look... The game was born from the need to tell a story about a personal struggle with an anxiety disorder. Starting from that spark, Studio Cima grew over the years in order to tell that tale and bring The Perfect Pencil to life. We are now a team of 10, all based in Italy. Our main inspiration are modern Metroidvanias such as Hollow Knight, and classics such as Zelda and Earthbound. We are also fascinated by the aesthetics of Magritte, David Lynch and Wes Anderson. The game is still in development and it is set to be released in 2024 on Steam and Nintendo Switch, with other platforms following. [h3]Some link!
