The Artful Escape Confirms PlayStation, Switch Release Date
Annapurna Interactive's love of bombastic indie titles served 2021 very well, with the release of assorted games across many genres. One of which was the artistic and musical platformer The Artful Escape, which Xbox and PC users have loved getting lost in since September 2021.
The Artful Escape is an indie side-scrolling platformer incorporating psychedelic visuals and a selection of instrumental pieces to tell a powerful story. The mesmerizing high-contrast worlds of color serve as the palette backdrop as players guide Francis Vendetti on a journey to find himself through music. The protagonist's rock and roll influences stem from music icons David Bowie and Bob Dylan, and heavily borrows visual styles from acclaimed directors Stanley Kubrick and Wes Anderson to blend the two artistic worlds together.
