Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.57/day in the week to Aug 14 → 1.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Escape from Ever After is an adventure RPG inspired by the classic Paper Mario games, where fairytale and storybook characters must fight back against capitalism!
When Flynt Buckler, a classic fairytale adventurer, storms the castle of his evil dragon arch-nemesis Tinder, he finds the once intimidating fortress has been converted into… corporate offices? The villainous dragon is nowhere to be found and her castle is full of mindless coffee-sipping, report-filing drones. What happened?
It turns out that storybooks are an untapped market ripe with valuable resources, cheap labor, and profit to be had—so naturally, real-world conglomerate Ever After Inc.™ found a way to intervene! With Tinder’s Castle as their new corporate headquarters, Ever After Inc. is hellbent on taking over every storybook they can. With no choice but to get a job, Flynt Buckler must team up with his former nemesis Tinder in order to climb the corporate ladder and take down Ever After Inc. from the inside!
Dive into storybook worlds packed to the brim with colorful characters, captivating locales, and electrifying secrets! One moment you’ll be fleeing Lovecraftian terrors while solving a noir murder mystery, and the next you’ll be up against villainous versions of The Three Little Pigs as they try to bulldoze a fairytale forest for their real estate developments. The rules are always changing!
Face off against hordes of wacky enemies in snappy turn-based gameplay! Perfectly-timed action commands allow Flynt to finish off his foes with style, and an assortment of items, badges, and partners ensure there’s always a trick up his sleeve.

Good game, peak Paper Mario content. Only complaint is that the game feels too short. It's somewhat telling as well that the game's content feels compressed, lots of collectables hidden without a lot of effort, and basically all over the place. It feels like there's a star piece item behind every tree, as a more telling example.
This game should always have an overwhelmingly positive review. If you're complaining that it's like Paper Mario then you have zero criticisms of the actual game. Escape from Ever After is fun, cute, nostalgic, and heartwarming. The gameplay is very straight forward, and the story is pretty good. It's a simple model but worth the time and effort. It can feel a little short, and my hours do reflect the full 100 level tower challenge too. But overall I'm very happy to have played the game. Lastly, goodnight Moon :)

This light hearted turned based RPG surpassed my expectations! Takes heavy inspiration from the Paper Mario series so i knew what kind of combat style to expect going in. I loved the all different worlds based on known fairy tales or storybooks. The story and humor kept me hooked and made for good laughs at times. Highly recommend <3
Escape from Ever After is one of those games that immediately hit me with that **Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door** feeling, and that’s a huge compliment because TTYD is one of my favorite childhood games. The artstyle, humor, exploration and turn-based combat all give me that same kind of charm without feeling like it’s just trying to copy Paper Mario. It has its own personality, but you can absolutely feel where the inspiration comes from. What I love most is how cozy and adventurous it feels. The characters are fun, the world is charming, and the combat has enough interaction to keep things from becoming boring or mindless. It obviously doesn’t completely replace TTYD for me because nostalgia is basically cheating :D, but this is probably one of the closest games I’ve played to giving me that same feeling again. If you grew up loving Paper Mario and especially TTYD, this is very easy to recommend.
Things I like: . Level design . Puzzles are challenging . Art design is appealing . Accessible achievements . Story is OK . Quality of life features regarding collectibles Things I do not like: . Combat is repetitive and boring . Soundtrack is repetitive or even bad . Progression is barely noticeable . Loot isn't rewarding . Characters start interesting but stay one- dimensional
A most excellent experience. Fans of Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door rejoice. Get this game, be recruited into the company!
Quality game
Great alternative if you're a fan of Paper Mario! 9/10
Fun and cute. Puzzles are just right. Strong recommend!
great paper mario-like game. If you miss Thousand Year Door and had a good time with some other games in this vein, like Bug Fables, then you will probably enjoy this too.
