Impressions

The Artful Escape takes you on a carefully curated journey through the cosmos and a teenage boy's attempts to get out from under the shadow of his famous uncle. You won't find any meaningful decisions here, and to be honest not much gameplay either, but there's just enough to keep you engaged and moving through the spectacular alien vistas Beethoven & Dinosaur have crafted, accompanied by an equally meticulously crafted soundtrack. Worth giving a shot if if you like what you see and hear in the trailers; it's definitely a bit of a walking simulator but it makes the walking feel pretty amazing
