The Artful Escape is an action, adventure, exploration, narrative driven, musical-laser-light-battle kind of game. 

In The Artful Escape, players take on the role of performer Francis Vendetti on the eve of his first performance as he battles with the legacy of a dead folk legend and the cosmic wanderings of his own imagination. As Francis, a teenage guitar prodigy, players set out on a psychedelic, multidimensional journey to inspire his stage persona.

In the game, players will traverse majestic landscapes made of sound, triggered by their movements, as if the world itself were an instrument. Players will experience close encounters of the third kind-style musical jams, endless possibilities for custom on-stage personas, conversations with all manners of being from disenchanted publicans to lumbering alien wildlife, as well as the ability to walk, run, double jump, air walk, light cannon, trip and dance across the multiverse.

The Artful Escape will feature voice performances by Michael Johnston, Caroline Kinley, Lena Headey, Jason Schwartzman, Mark Strong and Carl Weathers.

Key Features:

• Close Encounters of the Third Kind-style musical jams. Using his “LoudJacket,” Francis Vendetti summons holographic amplifiers and cannonades of impossible laser arrays.
• Create your own stage persona from the sci-fi beginnings of your backstory to the sequins in your facepaint.
• Converse with all manner of being: disenchanted publicans, nostalgic villagers, lumbering alien wildlife, and reality defying-behemoths.
• Walk, run, double jump, air walk, light cannon, trip, and climb across the multiverse. Traverse landscapes made of sound, triggered by your movements, as if the world itself were an instrument.

The Artful Escape is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on September 9, 2021.
