The Perfect Pencil

Studio Cima today announced The Perfect Pencil, a narrative adventure game featuring platforming elements and combat. It’s planned for Switch, though a release window has not yet been confirmed.

The Perfect Pencil, which features a hand-drawn art style, is said to be inspired by action adventure games such as Hollow Knight and the psychological depth of characters featured in the likes of Celeste and Limbo. The title “aims to challenge players to comprehend and face uncomfortable situations that stem from their fears and anxieties – a topic very much in the zeitgeist of today – as part of a wholly engaging experience.” Interestingly, the game features its own language with humor and allegories.
