Annapurna Interactive and iam8bit are proud to present the Exclusive Edition of The Artful Escape. Developer Beethoven & Dinosaur crafted an intergalactic Bildungsroman about identity, purpose, and the liberating power of rock ‘n’ roll. Over Annapurna’s brief 5-year history, its preferred flavour. Catmaze Nintendo Switch Vernal Edge Nintendo Switch Concept Destruction PS4 They Always Run Collectors. The Artful Escape is a trippy, psychedelic answer to that cosmic-sized question. It’s a slightly better story than a game, however, and I hope the Switch version gets a tune-up down the line. There’s far too much colour in your fingers for that though, which is why the aliens intervene and blast you off into mind-bending superstardom. Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) The Artful Escape hit Windows and Xbox in 2021, published by Annapurna Interactive. A roaring cosmic escapade that would make Bowie proud, The Artful Escape tells a beautiful story of artistic integrity and brings it to life with show-stopping visuals that never relent. Everyone there is desperate for you to be the second coming of Johnson Vendetti, and wants you to live out your days as a shadow of what once was. You start The Artful Escape as Francis Vendetti, nephew to the revered Johnson Vendetti, the folk music legend whose spectre of greatness haunts your soul, your music, and your hometown of Calypso. It’s a game all about understanding who you are not, and embracing who you are. You get abducted by aliens who sense your talent as a psychedelic rocksmith struggling under the weight of your folk music uncle, and they fling you through time and space to ride the Cosmic Lung, meet a god with skyballs for a face, and jam with a series of unintelligible aliens who could only ever have been imagined in the fever dreams of a scientist who ate some off-colour meat.
