 The Artful Escape (Video Game)
comment
A 2021 musical Adventure Game developed by Australian studio Beethoven & Dinosaur and published by Annapurna Interactive.Calypso, Colorado. Hometown of legendary folk singer Johnson Vendetti... and his nephew, the much less impressive Francis Vendetti. It's the 20th anniversary of Johnson's seminal album, and the town is throwing a huge festival, where Francis will play his uncle's greatest hits.Problem is, Francis isn't exactly jazzed about being used as his uncle's soundalike, and seems even less enthused about folk music. His life, however, is about to change, as a neon-soaked rocker from beyond the stars named Lightman has taken an interest in him.Now Francis is halfway across the universe, going on a rocking adventure where he just might find the real him.

comment
Shared Family Quirks: Besides their obvious shared talent in playing the guitar, Francis and Johnson Vendetti both have stage personas different from their regular selves that they created for their musical careers. Violetta reveals in the end that the songs that Johnson Vendetti wrote as a folk music legend was for a persona not unlike Francis' intergalactic one.

Scenery Porn: Probably one of the main hooks of the game. Throughout his journey, Francis gets to traverse across several sprawling alien landscapes with gorgeous scenery that wouldn't look out of place spray-painted on the side of a van and Francis strumming on his guitar will often cause the landscape to light up in a glorious symphony of light and sound.

Jerks Are Worse Than Villains: Invoked In-Universe. The game doesn't really have outright evil characters, but some of the people Francis can interact with in Calypso early on are a little hostile towards him, from a snooty busker who thinks he's better than everyone else, to a skiffle band who all but threaten Francis with bodily harm.
