The Artful Escape of Francis Vendetti is made in Unreal Engine 4, but you'd never know it. The 2D glam rock story of a young musician developing his stage persona through a cosmic journey eschews the glistening metallic 3D corridors we often see from Epic's tech in favour of lush, painterly multi-coloured vistas. No wonder it won the Unreal Developer's Grant.Now on Kickstarter, The Artful Escape of Francis Vendetti follows the exploits of its titular character as he explores far out dimensions in hopes of discovering his identity in the mercurial landscape of pop music. The developer wonderfully summed up The Artful Escape of Francis Vendetti's premise as follows:
"The game follows Francis Vendetti, a teenage musician desperately seeking to sever the connection between him and his uncle; a dead folk singer of megalithic cultural significance. After encounters with Violetta, a laser artist returning home from California, and Lightman, proprietor of Lightman's Reptile and Telescope Emporium, Francis understands he must leave his everyday self behind... and become someone else entirely. With the help of his new friends, Francis ventures across the multiverse in search of his new persona, what it means to wear masks, and the worlds artists can construct around their core medium."
