Have you ever felt like you couldn't met expectations of the ideals projected on you? Do you find yourself wanting to express yourself, and you don't know how? Well, The Artful Escape gives a neat little rock opera vibe to these questions in a fun no stakes rhythm platformer.

While ultimately The Artful Escape is all about the journey, and none about the performance, it does give the player enough tools to express themselves in a subtle way. From the overall pacing to how often you strum on your guitar to eventually dressing your character up and naming them. The Artful Escape really is all about the vibe of it all, and while sometimes you need to do some Simon Says type mini-games, it's vastly there to show you a bigger world and express how a person should find their way.

The Artful Escape is also brimmed with fantastic visuals, and colorful dialogue. Often what the game lacks in challenge is made up for by the visuals the game has to offer. From the way various characters are designed to how levels are fashioned through out; it really just makes you want to play the game more to see what kind of neat and weird thing come next. If there is really one thing that can described this game, it's a fever dream, and I think that makes it worth the experience.
