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.
Fight in a fun, fast-paced battle system that rewards experimentation and strategy
Build and customize your party—every character has unique skills that can be equipped and upgraded throughout your journey

An excellent little RPG in the vein of the Paper Mario games. Charming characters, consistently funny writing and just overall a really fun experience. Highly recommended! Check out https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41559946 for more recommendations!
Very fun game. Highly recommend, especially for Paper Mario fans. Escape from Ever After is by far the most faithful to the OG Paper Mario formula out of the several Paper Mario inspired indie games I've played. It's very well designed mechanically. In fact, I'd say its gameplay mechanics are it's strongest point. Battles are fun, pretty fast, and satisfying. It doesn't have much new or innovative, which I think is mostly good because it's already working off of a great formula. The one major innovation it introduces, which is the ability to swap out the protagonist, Flynt, for any of the other party members in battle, was a great addition. I would have liked to see a little more innovation than just that, but that's just my personal preference. The world is fun to explore and looks great. The music is also pretty good, especially if you're a fan of saxophone. Story-wise it's good but not outstanding, in my opinion. I liked the individual chapter plots a lot more than the overarching plot. I think the corporate sabotage plot thread just didn't do it for me. I prefer to keep it a little more straightforward. Like, you tell me who the bad guy is and I'll go beat em' up for ya. Pretending to help Ever After Inc to work up the ranks with the goal of destroying them from the inside wasn't that satisfying to me I guess. The overall length of the game was pretty good in my opinion. Disregard my playtime listed, a lot of my playtime was offline and didn't get counted. It was probably 35-ish hours, if I had to estimate. I completed almost 100%, the only thing I missed was one bestiary entry (which I'm pretty sure was permanently missable), as far as I know. I did use a guide to find some of the last sun stones and ink bottles. The collectables are very conveniently numbered in the menu, which is next to useless in game because they're super out of order, but it's very helpful for using on online guide to find what you missed. The game in general doesn't give much help with locating collectables, which is a bit of a disappointment for a completionist like myself. If you're not worried about that, then it won't really affect you. The individual chapters felt really lengthy to me. It's not padded, there's just a ton you have to do in each chapter. I would have preferred a larger number of shorter chapters, especially since I thought the idea of traveling to various storybook worlds was pretty cool and could have been used more. I got pretty tired of chapter two, in part because it took the dark horror theme a little too far for my tastes. It's still cartoony of course, but the who time I was longing for the return of the happy-go-lucky adventure vibes from chapter 1. My main disappointment with Escape from Ever After is the small amount of side quests, especially substantial ones. There's a few, but not many, and there's not really a good way to track ongoing side quests. There's also only two optional bosses (one is a gimmic boss, and the other is at the top of the tower of 100 trials). I was really hoping for more optional bosses because the combat is fun and I like a good challenge. I did play on the recommended difficulty setting, which was fairly easy (as I expected). In hindsight I think hard difficulty would have been a better fit for me. If you've played Paper Mario or other similar games and you're good at precise dodge timings, then I'd recommend hard difficulty. You can change difficulty mid playthough as well, I just wanted to keep things consistent throughout. If I ever decide to replay this game I'll give hard difficulty a try. Although I don't think it's super likely that I will ever replay it, at least not anytime soon.

Excelente Juego, es muy entretenido, es como paper mario, pero la historia es diferente y llama mucho la atención
Wer auf Spiele wie Paper Mario steht hat hier aufjedenfall was humorreiches und gut spielbares gefunden, das Kampfsystem ist schnell erlernt und die Bosse haben auch gut was drauf. Absolut empfehlenswert dieses Spiel!
挺好玩的，一些故事的解读很有意思
Desde que a Nintendo largou mão da fórmula que tava quase perfeita em Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, existe num nicho gamer o sonho de um novo RPG com o jeitinho dos dois primeiros jogos do Paper Mario. A resposta pra essa demanda está vindo pelos desenvolvedores independentes: os mais notáveis até agora são Bug Fables (considerado o melhor dessa onda), Born of Bread, e agora Escape from Ever After. Eu fiquei muito empolgado com o discurso que sucedeu o lançamento desse jogo. Parecia que tinha um consenso de que tinha batido Bug Fables, e eu vi até gente falando seriamente desse jogo como se ele fosse o Paper Mario 3. Quase comprei antes de sair promoção. FELIZMENTE comprei só na promoção, porque acabei me decepcionando com o jogo. Ele começa muito forte, com uma premissa interessante, puzzles e combates mais difíceis e elaborados do que os de Paper Mario. O Capítulo 2 é um ponto alto do jogo. A impressão que eu tive, do Capítulo 3 pra frente, é que os devs já estavam correndo contra o tempo. Nesse capítulo eles encheram linguiça com uma série de batalhas linear, uma atrás da outra, e podendo curar toda vida e todo o MP entre as batalhas (tirando a parte de gerenciamento de recursos que faz parte da graça do combate RPG). No Capítulo 4, dá pra notar que os ambientes são bastante simples e funcionais, um planetinha de gelo com uma base-laboratório que tá ali pra servir puzzles. O jogo ainda peca pelo fenômeno Far Cry 3: a tragédia do segundo vilão maior ainda. Você interage o jogo inteiro com um vilão que é legal, bafônico, etc. Um vilão top. Só que o *verdadeiro* vilão é outro ainda, e esse, apesar de mais poderoso, é alguém com quem você ainda não conviveu nada, então não dá a mesma graça de ir lá e se esforçar pra bater nele. O orçamento indie aparece: desde a primeira cidade os NPCs são muito repetitivos - na vila do lobo, todo mundo é o mesmo lobo, na vila dos piratas, tem só dois tipos de desenho de pirata, etc. O tanto de reaproveitamento de inimigos nas batalhas não ajuda. Recomendo pra comprar só em promoção.
没有缺点的类纸片马里奥
Приємна JRPG з цікавим сюжетом, смішними персонажами, чудовим балансом в боївці. З незначних мінусів можна лише виділити багато бектрекінгу та доволі одноманітна 3 глава про піратський скарб з безкінечними битвами одна за одною. Грати було весело, цікавих та смішних ситуацій вдосталь, другорядні персонажі також пропрацьовані добре. Оцінка: 8,5 з 10
Tenía tiempo que no me enganchaba con un juego hasta terminarlo... ¡Me encantó! Personajes entrañables con los que te encariñas poco a poco, hasta los secundarios y personajes con pocas apariciones, me encanta el universo que hicieron al rededor. Los enemigos... Cada zona con sus propios enemigos está genial, salvo que tengan que reciclar con recolores en ciertas zonas... PERO, no lo reflejo como punto malo, ya que lo hacen bajo una buena excusa dentro del propio juego. Esto no opaca las mecánicas de cada enemigo, siendo únicos cuando se llegan a combinar de diferentes zonas. La música... ¡La amé! Cada zona se hace única con ese remix del tema principal en las batallas adecuado a la zona (que pareciera una música totalmente diferente ¡están increíbles). Todas son entrañables y te llevan a la zona simplemente escuchándolas. Las batallas beben mucho de la fórmula de paper mario, pero sinceramente es lo que buscaba, por lo pocos que hay con la fórmula. No obstante, la usa, y trata siempre de hacerla suya, tratando de diferenciarse de paper mario, manteniendo todo lo bueno; controles simples, intuitivos, llenos de "comandos de acción", eso sí... Es más estratégico que paper mario, hay que estar más atento de las fases y posiciones de los enemigos. Es algo que explota, y lo hace muy bien sin llegar a ser injusto. Te deja con gana de más por lo bueno que es, pero ciertamente la duración es la adecuada por el precio, si te dejas "fluir" con el juego, y sus pequeños secretos por los niveles. Sin más que agregar, si quieres otro paper mario, ¡CÓMPRALO! ¡ES HERMOSO! Si nunca has jugado un paper mario, dale una oportunidad, vale bastante la pena sumergirte y convertirte en un empleado de Ever After Inc., es bastante divertido 😝
Копался в угле, нашёл алмаз. Получил игру в бандле с Чёрной Книгой и она оказалась великолепна. Отличный арт-дизайн, хорошая музыка, милые персонажи и крепкий сюжет.
