‘Escape From Ever After: Onboarding’ takes gamers on a fairytale journey of capitalism

Escape From Ever After was unveiled at the Guerrilla Collective showcase and is shaping up to be a wonderous adventure. This new colourful RPG has drawn inspiration from games like Paper Mario.

In the debut trailer, you are hired by big corporation Ever After Inc. where you will be sent to different storybooks to meet with unhappy characters and employees. There looks to be combat, working with characters to navigate the world, mini-games and side-scrolling obstacles. 

Despite not knowing more about the story, the game and character designs are absolutely charming. I am a big fan of these styled games and I am looking forward to playing the prologue version on July 19th.

The full game release is yet to be announced, but you can wishlist it now on Steam.
