Which is where the journey really begins. This leads to an epiphany, one where he decides to become someone else entirely and to quote Francis, “…create the most elaborate stage persona the world has ever seen”.
It’s just what’s expected of him and on the eve of his debut gig, he has somewhat of an existential crisis. But Francis isn’t even sure if he is a folk singer. There are dialogue options, but unlike something like Mass Effect, they don’t have any effect on the story and are simply there to deliver the narrative and progress the story along. Those who have played titles like Oxenfree may notice a similarity in the way dialogue is delivered between characters with quirky speech bubbles. Making your way through the town of Calypso and speaking to its inhabitants, you get a feel for the history of the place and the legacy which your uncle Johnson left behind. Such a legend that the weight of expectation on you is immense. You’re Francis Vendetti from Calypso Colorado where your dead uncle Johnson Vendetti is a folk music legend. This is a narrative-driven experience, almost an interactive story if you will. As I get older I seek out these more chill experiences, especially ones that focus on the audio and visual aspects of them. It was such a refreshing change from everything else out there. It’s something you take in, like a breath of fresh air and for me, that’s exactly what The Artful Escape is. Why? Because it’s less a “traditional” video game and more of an experience. Not only is the game itself centered around the journey of its protagonist Francis Vendetti, but those who checked out my preview of the game will know the development of it has also been quite a journey.īut this is an interesting game to review.
The word journey feels like such an appropriate one when discussing The Artful Escape.
