How it was vs. how it is now



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!

Meet Gaston - Dev Blog #4



"Hello, I'm Gaston, the official doorman of Clemensburg, the most charming town in the kingdom of the White Beast.

Our town offers to a select few the warm and reassuring comfort of "genuine" companionship.

Thanks to that and our fabulous mentor, we're shielded from the terrifying banks of fog surrounding our sparkling walls."


(One of my favorites activities)


"We all know what hides behind those banks... and you don't want to get stuck in them, lost in confusion and yourself.

So, I hope you'll be up to my standards when you knock on my door.

Actually, I don't mind if you don't; If someone's not up to my standards it always makes me feel better about myself."





"My distinctive features include eyebrows that not only meet but form a perfect circle on my forehead. While I find them superb, a guy with a fanny pack who sneaked into town says I resemble a frog-burger, whatever that means.

My folder keeps track of the upcoming appointments for new citizens who haven't received their social status yet. It accompanies me in every shift of my beloved job, elevating me just enough to feel comfortable.

I'm a rather simple man and don't ask for much more.

My leg? A relic of an encounter with someone who thought they had a higher social status than me; naturally, they were put back in their shameful place."





Gaston is a chubby and slimy gentleman, dressed in classic fashion like all the other characters, giving them a timeless feel. Each area has a distinctive palette, also used to color other characters.

Gaston is developed with his purpose in mind as the doorman of the second area, exploring the macro-theme of shame and judgment. His characteristics portray the essence of the town and his role in it.





There's a hidden house in Clemensburg where Gaston lives, painting portraits, and writing letters to his secret love.

Discovering this secret adds to the intrigue. You might find it and unravel the mystery of his secret love. For more gossip about men with unibrows, check out The Perfect Pencil; it won't disappoint.

Thank you for your time. If you want to meet other bizarre personalities, they'll be waiting for you in The Perfect Pencil. You can try it right now for free downloading the game demo!

Welcome to The Soft Forest



Similar to each area in The Perfect Pencil, The Soft Forest embodies a central psychological theme, allowing you to delve into its various aspects through exploration, interactions, quests, enemies, secrets, and exceedingly demanding regressed adults.

The Soft Forest's aesthetic was conceived to create an inviting, harmless, and seemingly welcoming atmosphere at first glance. However, as you begin to pay attention to details and progress in your exploration, you may notice that something is amiss.

Despite this, our recommendation is not to expose yourself too much, or you might find yourself at the edge of the forest...

Please take a look at this short teaser created by The Soft Forest's tourist office.

If you'd like to explore The Soft Forest and its wonders by yourself, you can do so now in our demo!
