Developer Beethoven & Dinosaur has offered a fresh look at its striking rock music platform adventure The Artful Escape, which is being published by the ever-reliable Annapurna Interactive and is heading to Xbox One, PC, and Apple Arcade later this year.
As Beethoven & Dinosaur explains in its new gameplay walkthrough below, The Artful Escape tells the story of teenage guitar prodigy Francis Vendetti – the nephew of legendary folk icon Johnson Vendetti (said to be the equivalent of Bob Dylan in-game) – who embarks on a cosmic journey to craft his stage persona.
The Artful Escape begins on Earth – in the town of Calypso, Colorado to be more precise – on the eve of Francis’ first live performance. Beethoven & Dinosaur says its opening chapters are designed to introduce players to Francis’ hometown and the legacy of his uncle, with the townsfolk he talks to along the way offering advice, history, as well as some ill-omens.
