But merch company iam8bit are hoping they have you covered if there's a big Annapurna fan in your life. They've just announced the Annapurna Interactive Deluxe Limited Edition Collection for the Nintendo Switch, which is such a mouthful that the title alone feels like it justifies a $200 price tag. Yes, the Annapurna Interactive Deluxe Limited Edition Collection for the Nintendo Switch will set you back $200 — equivalent to roughly £165 if you live in the UK, and that's not counting some potentially hefty international shipping fees if you live outside of the USA. Alright, that's not actually out of the ordinary for Limited-Special-Collector's-Ultimate-Editions these days, but I suspect it still feels quite steep to most of us. I'm not here to be snarky; I love Annapurna's curation of excellent indie games, and 12 of the greatest hits from the publisher's back-catalogue are included on the cartridge that's the centrepiece of this collection. With hindsight I think it's to their credit that my first response upon seeing the list of games was to question some big omissions: seriously, no Stray, no Gone Home, what gives? (OK, so Stray isn't actually out on Switch and iam8bit isn't a porting studio, but Gone Home is legitimately an odd one to miss out.)

Annapurna Interactive объявила о том, что 25 января проект посетит обладателей PS5, PS4 и Nintendo Switch . Эпичное музыкальное представление: Обзор The Artful EscapeSep 19, 2021 - Gamemag.ruThe Artful Escape – очередной дебютант инди-сцены, совмещающий в себе музыкальную ритм-игру и 2D-платформер. На всевозможных презентациях и промо-материалах проект молодой студии Beethoven & Dinosaur выглядел просто замечательно, однако всегда оставалась тень сомнения – а будет ли интересно в это, собственно, играть? Об этом читайте в нашем обзоре. The Artful Escape review: musical odyssey is a one hit wonderSep 8, 2021 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunThey call me the Slippery Matthew Castle. Or at least they do aboard the Cosmic Lung, an intergalactic concert hall overseen by a brainstem in a cloak voiced by Jason Schwartzman. Impressively, this is one of the more rote happenings in The Artful Escape, a quest that also takes in astral highways, rock-powered butterflies and - steel yourself - a passive aggressive skiffle group. Its creator, the fabulously named Johnny Galvatron, describes it as what would happen if David Bowie had gone on a literal space trip to become Ziggy Stardust, and that seems about right. Read more Final Fantasy 13, Surgeon Simulator 2, Artful Escape join Xbox Game Pass over next weekSep 1, 2021 - EurogamerThe upcoming week will bring eight games to Xbox Game Pass, including Final Fantasy 13 and the long-awaited launch of The Artful Escape. This next round of additions starts tomorrow with Signs of the Sojourner and Surgeon Simulator 2: Access All Areas, both of which are for console, cloud and PC. The former is a narrative card game about connecting people. The latter is a party game about disconnecting bits of people. Both are worth a fair shake.

Hello from Beethoven & Dinosaur!Jan 15, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsThe Artful Escape is coming to Steam and the team at Beethoven & Dinosaur had some introductionary words they wanted to share! Hello! My name's Johnny and I'm the creative lead at Beethoven & Dinosaur. We're a bunch of space cadets operating out of Melbourne Rock City, Australia. For most of us, this is our first game. We have a wide range of professional backgrounds: music, special effects, simulation, classical art, fax repair, 90's House, ect. Our staff are all above board and not involved in anything nefarious or illegal as far as I'm aware. We're making a game called "the Artful Escape." It's about a teenage musician who embarks on a journey to inspire his stage persona. It's a game about the satellite aspects of an artist's creative medium; of image, narrative, and stagecraft. We hope you find it grand and sort of wonderful. The Artful Escape will be coming to PC via Steam later this year. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36603809/df92a4119f93dd70c14879b62a9f1d45bad79ef4.jpg
