Awesome art direct, bad game design.

the artful escape is a very quick indie game that revolves around the music. its music is so good because of the way it interacts with the environments, its so colorful and unique. Although the gameplay is kinda lackluster and was never that challenging. Violleta at the start ws pretty annoying but at the end she got a little better but really she was still pretty irritating. Overall a good indie game i recommend.

A fun little musical cosmic romp. A cleverly written and very well voice acted audiovisual experience, while being light on many meaningful gameplay decisions.

For so long I saw people on trophy hunting pages talking about 2 things
1. This game is a short platinum
2. It's a really good game
Number 1 is true, number 2 is... debateable
This game is gorgeous and I think the story is fun and well written... but honestly I think I would have liked this more as a movie because the gameplay of basic platforming & "space alien simon says" is whatever. By the end it felt more like a chore because I wanted to see how the story ended but I didn't care about playing the guitar myself

A simple, gorgeous jam session of a game. A dismissible (but thankfully skippable) story, but damn if I didn't dig how it made me feel like I was a Celestial Rock God.

It was what I wanted it to be.
The Artful Escape is where you walk and jump from left to right in beautiful environments featuring unique characters while listening to music.
It's not really that fun but it is at least different from every other games I've played so far.

I genuinely love this game. I played it at a difficult time and it was exactly what I needed.

Alright little game, basically some rudimentary platforming and the Simon Says toy you can buy for kids (do they still make those?). Would have benefitted from having shorter levels but more of them, I think - the initial cool factor of the album art worlds wears off quickly, though they nailed it better than Double Fine did with Brutal Legend.
I'm not sold on Violetta, the game wanted her to seem cooler than she actually was. Zomm was underutilized. We needed at least twice as much Zomm. I also think a Sci-Fi nerd would've rebelled against being a folk singer sooner, but that's neither here nor there.

- Someone called this game a walking sim and that help me appreciated this game. Cuz at first, it seems like it could be a 2d platformer but no, it is all about holding right and strumming through beautiful alien scenescape.
- Lovely story about artistic self-growth and forming your own identity.
- Jamming isn't that fun, it's just basically Simon says.

The entire game felt like I was on drugs and I love it.

Beautiful game, visually and audibly stunning. Comes with a great message that would and can be inspiring for creators and artists everywhere. Would have liked to have seen more complexity within the jams but overall, truly a wonderful experience.

Now this is just plain boring. You cannot convince me it is fun to play this game at all.

A feast for the ears and eyes but a complete bore otherwise. I've aired my grievances regarding these narrative platformers before and The Artful Escape is no different, even though they tried their hardest to dress it up. Simon Says in the year of our lord and savior 2021? Really? The story's a bit of a hot mess too, and the writing tries to come off as charming but fails half the time. Still though, very pretty.
