The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 24 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About


The Perfect Pencil is a surreal action platformer which tells the tale of personal development and 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...

Embark on an emotional odyssey exploring the depths of an unfamiliar environment using protagonist John's innate ability to see things that others can’t.
Make choices that will compel you to carve your own personal route through both light and darkness, however, beware, things might not be as they seem.

Go off the beaten path and discover numerous side quests dotted throughout the world, you never know what you might find. Both dark and comforting surreal landscapes filled with secrets, surprises and peculiar personalities are waiting to be unraveled.

John’s unique analysis ability grants you the power to uncover hidden information about NPCs, peculiar objects and elements of the environment. The Perfect Pencil is filled with additional lore and secrets for players to find. Roam beyond the beaten path, scan the world around you - Who knows... behind one of these corners you might find something that will change your perspective.

John draws his strength from within, but he will also encounter tense boss battles in the form of unsettling manifestations - all symbolising unique elements of the human psyche. Some encounters may even make you question your sense of reality…but remember, in order to survive you will have to be willing to take risks.

Reviews
注重剧情方面的游戏,有点难对上电波,还有就是手感很微妙
就战斗来说不太合格,但是其他都还不错!
看得出制作人没做过游戏,也没玩过游戏。这游戏就像是磕冰磕嗨了,在幻觉之中拉出来的臭狗屎。

33h无攻略一周目完结。 更新后可以无限下劈,后半段好打多了,感觉探索得很仔细了,结果就一个金币道具和黑色钥匙收集齐了,金币还只是看看故事没成就,居然连全地图的成就都没拿到真的太离谱了吧。而且到了最后也没给一个显示未收集物品位置的道具,可恶啊!(后续:看攻略把电梯清单物品收集完就拿到全地图了,还差一个的茶包也在这儿,于是也齐了,但其他收集物连攻略都没有,没显示道具还是很可恶啊!!!) 战斗苦手推荐轮椅满级的一鸟在手(回2血)+重甲龟壳(受击后超长无敌),还有位置的话优先满级的卡尔的故事(手长长长),其他随意。 经验球整体缺口不算大(前提是没携带巨款时翻车),前期不用管,后期推荐去火焰培训班上面那个面包树,旁边就两只怪,机制很好打,打完90经验球,带两个加经验球掉落有200+,头够铁再带个满级加攻击,3刀打完,刷几分钟就完事了。 ——————————————以下旧评—————————————— 画面很好看,怪物是怪诞风格的,很容易分不清怪和NPC(也可能是故意的)如果有耐心去探索的话我认为整体是好玩的,完成度很高,内容量、品质和价格匹配的,但是这游戏确实有很多毛病。 ——————————————以下可能有轻微剧透(玩法和boss招式上的)—————————————— 剧情大致看得懂,但细节非常抽象看着像机翻,部分翻译有错误,比如法院3楼电梯选择楼层、佩戴的道具减益描述确实增益,还有很多对话中意义不明的选项,凑合能玩。 死亡不一定触发惩罚,触发了也就找小偷扫描而已,约等于没有,坏处是被偷钱后需要在案发现场附近到处找哪个黑旮旯角里有眼睛,好处是同一个地方反复翻车时,可以直接去上次找到的地方,不用再找了() 2026年了为什么还有不能改键位的游戏,虽然默认还算顺手但跟我的常用键位不一样,我的大脑和肌肉记忆一直互搏。 【手柄】战斗手感 高情商:老年人的反应速度都能丝滑游玩。低情商:反应速度越快操作越卡顿。我说呢我玩着明明很丝滑的(刚开始对键位不熟)为什么有些评论说卡手,直到我凭本事打了2个小时法官(硬打熟了)。 战斗难度不高但折磨,因为角色伤害刮痧,boss皮厚得要命,攻击频率确实不高,攻击招式也就那几招无限复读,但硬是打麻木了,属于打得过一次就永远打得过,但没人愿意再打一次的类型。 后面美术馆boss我正常打半天都跳烦了,boss还没死,琢磨了一下好像可以换血啊,直接逃课(带回2血的道具)站着不动都打到手抖,绝了:) 地图设计还行,很少走冤枉路,也没什么恶意,跳跳乐难度不高没啥红温的地方。
最主要的问题是手感,攻击和跳跃手感很怪,快速移动时主角有点掉帧/看起来很难受;地图有时候缺失,容易迷路 不是很推荐的类银恶
白色怪物激光形态打不死!!!!
