Francis is a small-town sci-fi geek whose uncle was a folk music legend. In the vein of David Bowie and his cosmic alter ego Ziggy Stardust, The Artful Escape follows the inception of protagonist Francis Vendetti’s psychedelic stage persona. You actually do all of these things in the game, but they’re also all metaphors, man. It’s like sliding down an endless tree branch in a magical forest.
The Artful Escape is like riding an elephant-sized moth toward the setting sun. But The Artful Escape is also a game about free association, so let’s indulge in some. Never have I played a game like the intro to a Parliament record: Partying on the mothership / I am the mothership connection / Gettin' down in 3-D / Light year groovin'.įunk isn’t a perfect comparison for The Artful Escape, a game specifically about rock ‘n’ roll and a young prodigy’s journey to guitar stardom. Some are like playground dodgeball or an after-school fight club behind the McDonald’s dumpster. Others are like slot machines, ding-dinging serotonin receptors with random victory.

Traverse landscapes made of sound - composed by your movement - as if the world itself were an instrument. * Shred, soar and dance across the multiverse. * Converse, consult and chill with all manner of beings: disenchanted publicans, nostalgic villagers, lumbering alien wildlife, and reality-defying behemoths. * Craft your own stage persona from the sci-fi beginnings of your backstory to the trim on your moonboots.
* A story about great expectations, towering legacies, aliens, folk music, guitar solos, making stuff up, and living your dreams like memories.

In an attempt to escape the musical legacy of his uncle, a teenage guitar prodigy embarks on a psychedelic journey to inspire his new stage persona, searching for who he isnt in an adventure spanning stolen opera houses, melodic alien landscapes, and the impossible depths of the Cosmic Extraordinary. On the eve of his first performance, Francis Vendetti struggles with the legacy of a dead folk legend and the cosmic wanderings of his own imagination.
