Perhaps the most bizarre, yet intriguing game shown during Microsoft’s E3 2017 Press Conference was The Artful Escape.

The brief footage shown for the Xbox One console launch exclusive was a dazzling array of bright colors, rock music, and trippy visuals featuring a young bespeckled boy. The description of the game from publisher Annapurna Interactive is just as colorful.

 The Artful Escape of Francis Vendetti is a video game about great expectations, famous folk singers, lingering shadows, space Gods, hallucinogens, individuality, reptile shops, and wild imaginations. It’s an action, adventure, exploration, narrative driven, musical-laser-light-battle kind of game and is the debut of release from Beethoven & Dinosaur.

Still confused? Check out the announcement trailer below.

 

 

My Opinion:

I have no idea what type of game this will be, but it certainly looks different. I’m digging the psychedelic vibe it has going on though.
