Among the visually distinct games announced at Microsoft’s Xbox Media Briefing today was The Artful Escape from Beethoven & Dinosaur. It’s being published by Annapurna Interactive, who recently released What Remains of Edith Finch and features hallucinogenic visuals and lots of guitar shredding. Check out a trailer for the game below.
Players take control of teenage musician Francis Vendetti, as he ventures on a multidimensional journey to influence his own stage persona. As the trailer shows, this is a game all about its music and its art, which comes together to form a very trippy and wild experience. The Artful Escape is an “action, adventure, exploration, narrative driven, musical-laser-light-battle kind of game“, and that may even put it lightly.
I’m personally very excited for whatever this game ends up actually being, but right now it just looks like a wet dream of psychedelia and prog rock (the best mix). The Artful Escape doesn’t have a release date yet, but it is an Xbox One “console launch exclusive”. This will also be the debut game from Beethoven & Dinosaur.
Are you excited for The Artful Escape‘s highly stylized visuals? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to BagoGames for more coverage of E3 and all the announcements coming out of the press conferences!
