Francis Vendetti is in a bit of an artistic rut. He’s a teenage musical prodigy given the opportunity to continue the legacy of his dead uncle, a legendary folk singer who could spin poetry from a few guitar twangs. But Francis’ musical ambitions lie in a different type of music – the cosmic kind. He dreams of rock and roll riffs so epic they’ll traverse dimensions and jams so extreme they’ll create rifts across the galaxy.
The Artful Escape is a story-driven platform adventure about Francis’ journey to guitar stardom. In his quiet Colorado hometown, the community is expecting him to continue his uncle’s musical tradition and have planned a debut show that will kick start his career. But on the night of the performance, he gets whisked away on a strange intergalactic adventure, one that helps him discover his new psychedelic stage persona.
