The Artful Escape getting a physical release on Switch

iam8bit is working on a physical version of The Artful Escape for Switch, the company has announced.

Only a standard version is planned. However, each unit includes interior cover art and three exclusive guitar picks “featuring mind-blowing imagery”.

We have some information about The Artful Escape in the following overview:

How do you escape the shadow of a legend?

The Artful Escape is a trippy, psychedelic answer to that cosmic-sized question. For their debut title, developer Beethoven & Dinosaur crafted an intergalactic Bildungsroman about identity, purpose, and the liberating power of rock ‘n’ roll.

Now, in collaboration with our pals at Annapurna Interactive, iam8bit is proud to present the highly-requested, hotly-anticipated Exclusive Edition of The Artful Escape. It’s our own little contribution to this title’s intergalactic stardust legacy.

In addition to the game, presented on disc/cartridge, you’ll find an exclusive cover sheet and a thematically appropriate bonus collectible guitar pick, perfect for plucking your way into the halls of rock and roll history.

Explore space, time, and music on your journey to discover who you aren’t.

Pre-orders for the physical version of The Artful Escape on Switch are now open through iam8bit here. Copies should ship in Q1 2023.
