We’re excited to finally announce PENCILS DOWN, our analog horror exam roguelike set in 1999. We’ve been working on this strange little nightmare for a while, and we can’t wait to finally put it in your hands. You’ll sit for a 44-question standardized exam, wager your confidence, protect your erasers, and try to reach the 70% passing grade. Then the questions start getting personal. There’s no wiki, no guide, and no way to look up the answers. Just your memory, your pencil, and a proctor you can hear but never see.
PENCILS DOWN releases September 4, 2026 on Windows PC. If you’re into analog horror, psychological horror, or games that mess with the line between the player and the game, we’d love for you to check it out and wishlist it on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4980030/PENCILS_DOWN/
