This story of breaking free from people’s expectations and self-acceptance is already pretty but what makes it better is that it’s packed with some of the best visuals and music you’ll ever encounter in a game.Īll of the characters and environments are imaginative and some of them are downright crazy - in a good way. He comes across a mysterious man from outer space known as the Lightman, who takes him on a journey through the Cosmic Extraordinary which changes everything for Francis.įrancis realises that folk music might not be for him but doubts himself constantly, both because he cares too much about what the people around him say and because he is living in his uncle’s shadow.

But the night before the concert, Francis experiences something unusual. There is a festival being held in Calypso to celebrate the legacy of Francis’s late uncle, where he himself has his debut show.

The base story of the game revolves around self-acceptance and overcoming your insecurities.

Everyone wants Francis to continue where his uncle left off - everyone except Francis himself. Francis’s late uncle, Johnson Vendetti, was a famous folk musician and a superstar. The Artful Escape follows the story of the young musician, Francis Vendetti, who lives in the small town of Calypso. This multicoloured story about self-exploration and acceptance is rather relatable and truly something out of the ordinary. The Artful Escape takes you through an eccentric wonderland filled with innovativeness in each aspect. Reviews // 13th Oct 2021 - 2 years ago // By Ibrahim K The Artful Escape Review
