The game itself is built around the concept of playing as Francis Vendetti, who is the nephew of a folk music legend in Johnson Vendetti. The game has been seen as a highly exciting platformer that packages in some fresh ideas, but can it manage to escape the potential for controversy that can often follow such titles? The game, expected to arrive in mid-September 2021, has lots of people talking. That is why the development of Beethoven & Dinosaur title The Artful Escape looks to be so intriguing. When it comes to platform games, the importance of the setting can make or break the entire experience. Whether it's plantlife starting to dance to his tunes, or water features exploding in beautiful rhythm, the world feels totally alive. Each time Francis plays his guitar, the nearby creatures and environment begin to harmonise with him.

One of the most visually interesting parts of the Artful Escape is how the world reacts to the players actions. As the boy is searching for his persona, players can pick his backstory, his aesthetic, his stage name, and even his home planet to slowly craft the world’s greatest musical icon. Players can also customize Francis in a number of ways too. Francis can pull out the ol’ 6 string at any point, and can hover, slide and generally interact with the world in many different ways. Here, Francis can use his guitar skills as powerful abilities to make his way through levels.

It’s here that the player can begin to try out Francis’ musical abilities in the Cosmic Extraordinary. Escape From Realityįrancis' main quest quickly becomes to locate a jazz club that never stays in one location, and soon the player will be jumping from area to area, each decorated in a kaleidoscope of colour and creativity. Before players know it, Francis soon finds himself in the fantastical realm of Glimmerdim, a musical and psychedelic wonderland that feels more like a trip than your average video game.

However, things don’t stay in Francis’ sleepy town for long. Francis potters around his town Calypso speaking to the locals, getting their advice on his upcoming show, and also receives some mysterious suggestions along the way too. Players first start the Artful Escape in Colorado, the night before Francis steps on stage for his first performance.
