Honestly, it’s hard to believe we’re finally typing these words. After six years of sketching, coding, and probably way too much caffeine, The Perfect Pencil is officially out there.
Think back to where you were in 2019. Who you were.

For us, that was the year this whole thing started. The idea was a simple one: what if we could make a game that felt like a drawing come to life?

Even as I replay it now the first thing I notice when I start the game is the art. It’s hand-drawn, a bit out there but very intimate at the same time, like something pulled straight out of someone's journal. We wanted the world to feel like a headspace: sometimes beautiful, sometimes a little bit threatening.

We wanted you to feel a connection to what’s going on inside John’s head.

Have you ever doodled something weird while you were stressed out? That’s the idea we were going for. Every creature and every landscape in this kingdom is a piece of John’s fractured psyche. It’s a bit strange, sure, but so are minds. Yours. And mine. And everyone's.

We might be feeling a bit of that crushing pressure even now, as I write this. Hopefully you playing the game will make even this feel more relatable.

We’ve poured everything we have into this for over half a decade, and we are so excited (and more than a little nervous) to see you play it.

Now a few quick notes about the launch:

• Steam Deck: Good news! The game is Steam Deck Verified. It feels great even when you play it on the couch or on the go.
  
• Launch Discount: To celebrate our launch, we’re offering a 10% discount. If you pick it up now, you get a deal AND support a small indie team.
  
• Feedback: We’re a small group of artists, so your reviews and feedback mean the world to us. Please let us know what you think writing a review on Steam, It helps a lot!

Will it be a bit weird? Definitely. Challenging? For sure. But we hope that by the time you reach the end, you’ll find that it was worth the trip.

Thanks for being part of this journey with us. Now, go see what’s inside John's head.

Hello everyone.

Today we’re announcing the release date for The Perfect Pencil, and I wanted to take this moment to share what this game means to me and to the rest of the team.

The shortest way I can describe what this project felt like is this: it started as a clumsy caterpillar, driven by a strong conviction but weighed down by many fears. Then the chrysalis began to take shape, through a turbulent and often painful process.

What made it possible to go all the way through was the reason behind the game itself. It was born from the most intense experience I’ve ever had in my life.

Whenever I faced fear, an overwhelming rush would hit me: panic would rise, my mind would freeze, and I would feel lost in unknown voids. Until something slowly started to change — and that’s when this project was born.
It felt like something deeply important and relatable, something worth sharing, and I hope we came as close as possible to portraying it.

Another thing that was really intresting was to portray was all those little things that happens in our daily life usually just under our conscious radar.

While developing the game, I grew as the game grew. Every time I felt that something inside it truly reflected that experience, it made me incredibly happy and gave me renewed energy.

Along the way, I met fantastic people who fell in love with the game as much as I did and helped make it far better than I could have imagined. Luckily, it wasn’t their first rodeo.

They also helped me step out of the lonely shell I had been living in, back when I was working completely on my own. In many ways, I felt like I was living the same journey I was trying to convey — and I hope that made the game stronger.
This was my first game, so many things had to be learned along the way, and at times that slowed the process down. But, like Wile E. Coyote, we kept going even when the ground beneath our feet had disappeared — and somehow we made it to the other side (or at least, I hope you will too).

Now, after six years, we’re still inside the chrysalis — but it’s getting thinner, and light is starting to come through. Soon, we’ll find out whether it will finally emerge as a butterfly.

The Perfect Pencil will be available on January 29, 2026!

Hi everyone!

Browsing my PC I found some of the old material from when I started making The Perfect Pencil that I'd like to show you.

The game was born from the idea to tell a personal story this focal point remained unmutated, even if the game has changed and evolved a lot from the beginning.

Here's a sneak peak of the game back then and now. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you for watching the video and see you in our next development update!

The team was born in 2019 and it has slowly grown since then. It is now composed by 10 people: programmers, artists, game designers, a social media manager and a psychologist. Plus an external studio for musics and sound design.

We are all based in Italy, and we love what we are doing!
