There’s no studio to engage or creation elements to reconfigure The chords and notes simply change automatically depending on the song, and, well, there’s never really much of a song at all. Even the occasional playable rhythm game component - where “musical key” symbols appear in thin air or are built into an alien’s face - is dismissively easy, brief, and minimally interactive.Ĭuriously, this stock-simple routine never affords an opportunity to just goof around. He’ll gamely noodle these solos ad infinitum at the drop of a dime, but it's purely mechanical fluff. On the game’s different planets, the guitar stimulates backgrounds to explode in color and alien creatures to shimmy in luminescent ecstasy as Francis roams past. That cliff scene asks the player to press a button which will effectively shred distorted scales to whatever The Artful Escape wishes to conjure at any given time. Soon Francis is recruited to The Cosmic Lung spaceship, beaming out to shred alongside alien wildlife throughout The Artful Escape’s “musical multiverse.” A roadie/special effects wiz named Violetta spurs him on to dare and dream higher, while an alien voiced by Jason Schwartzman bequeaths a holographic guitar and connects him with spacefaring soloist Marc Lightman (resonantly played by Carl Weathers). The boy likes what he likes, ancestors be damned - but that query leads him to some lovely environments. There’s rarely a point where Francis is duly challenged on this central rebellion.

This is the central conflict: His dearly departed uncle was a well-known folk singer-songwriter, reportedly the biggest thing to ever make it out of this strange little fort town of Calypso, Colorado, a community who expects Francis to be Johnson Vendetti v2.0 while the nephew aims for alternate quarry. A few strummed acoustic chords quickly transitions to the distorted rock noodling The Artful Escape’s protagonist prefers. Lanky, bespectacled, and notably privileged Francis Vendetti frets on a cliff in preparation for his folk concert debut.
