The Artful Escape (‎@TheArtfulEscape), the first video game from Beethoven and Dinosaur, is now available to pre-purchase on the Microsoft Store for Xbox One and Xbox Series S|X.

The Artful Escape 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.

On the eve of his first performance, Francis Vendetti battles with the legacy of a dead folk legend and the cosmic wanderings of his own imagination. In this 2D adventure platformer, Francis, a teenage guitar prodigy, sets out on a psychedelic, multidimensional journey to inspire his stage persona.

The game is available to pre-order via the Xbox Store for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S for $19.99. You can pre-download The Artful Escape today, but it will not be playable until the release date/time (check the Xbox Store for release date/time in your region).
