Take your guitar to strange new worlds in The Artful Escape

The Artful Escape was today showcased at Microsoft’s E3 press conference.

Originally titled The Artful Escape of Francis Vendetti, and as seen at PAX Australia 2016, the title has a slightly nerdy-looking protagonist taking up a guitar to do truly amazing things.

Check it out:

Developed by the Melbourne-based Beethoven and Dinosaur and published by Annapurna, the title “is a video game about great expectations, famous folk singers, lingering shadows, space Gods, hallucinogens, individuality, reptile shops, and wild imaginations,” according to its trailer.

We’ll have more on The Artful Escape as it becomes available. The title is planned for release on Xbox One and Windows PC.
