New #VoleAndOtterGamecast episode is up! @SpeissAutarr and I go on a mostly spoiler-free (light story discussion, but we do talk about mechanics, aesthetics and themes) deep dive into #TheArtfulEscape and #dordogne
This is the first episode of what will be a recurring series in which we task each other to play a new game from our existing libraries (I dislike the work connotations in the word "backlog", but hey #gaming terms).

#TheArtfulEscape might be one of the most beautiful games I've ever played, with a near-perfect harmony of graphical fidelity, art style, and animation. I've got a ways to go, and there's not a lot of game in the game so far, but I find myself stunned by what I've seen. This one took me by surprise.

Do you wanna rock?
I SAID DO YOU WANNA ROCK?!?
The Artful Escape is a game about the distance between who you are, and who you want to be.
Francis Vendetti is the nephew of a Dylanesque folk singer, and feels trapped in the shadow cast by his long-departed uncle.
Living in a small town, where his uncle was the primary export, the town is looking to him to bring back the glory days during the 20th anniversary celebration of his uncle's album.
The Artful Escape is essentially a (musical?) platformer, but not in a traditional platformer sense. There are no hit-the-button-at-the-right-time-or-die sequences (at least so far).
Once the story gets going, you're required to do some Simon-style pattern matching with the controller buttons, and you do, indeed, get to rock.
Graphically, this game is utterly gorgeous, and for a game that is about music, the sound is excellent.
The Artful Escape is:
