Studio Cima and Nintendo revealed today that the upcoming action platformer The Perfect Pencil is set to release on Nintendo Switch. Sharp combat intertwined with an introspective narrative exploring the human psyche, this hand-drawn 2D indie looks absolutely fascinating.
So, when is The Perfect Pencil release date? Currently, we have very little to go on, leaving us one pencil short of a full case. The announcement trailer only reveals a vague ‘2023’ timeline, so hopefully, we get more information on the title soon. It must be nearly time for another Indie World direct soon, right Nintendo?
The Perfect Pencil stars John in his journal of personal growth, a little chap with a camera for a head in a design reminiscent of Brian K. Vaughan’s comic series Saga. The Steam listing describes the game as “a journey during which you’ll have to create your own path and face the consequences of the choices you make. Everything will depend on them, your choices”. We can’t wait to discover more and unravel the mysteries of this intriguing game.
Watch the reveal trailer below to get a feel for the existential dread you can expect when The Perfect Pencil eventually comes to Switch.
