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.

Simply amazing. if you loved paper mario thousand year door, this is a must play. Loved every minute of it and would highly recommend to almost anyone to play
A love letter to Paper Mario <3
Great game, great writing, great gameplay, I feel like this raises the bar for these types of games. I highly recommend if you are a fan of the classic Paper Marios and/or Bug Fables. I also am happy with there being a hard difficulty option.
Really fun game, especially if you work corporate!
I didn't expect such a high quality game. It takes a lot from the Paper Mario Games. But it also has more than enough new features to give it its own identity. If you like Paper Mario you will absolutely love this game! Very recommended!
I don't often finish story games on steam because I'm easily distracted, but I have the perfect funnel to start focusing on them and this is what I started with. I wasn't sure what to expect except maybe some paper mario similarities, but it really is it's own thing. The characters are very individual and well written. Found myself laughing quite a few times and Tinder and bad wolf ended up being my favorite. Tinder for her depth and Wolf cuz he's a doofus. The game was fun, perfect length, not to hard or easy. Offers collectables and puzzles. Only one time did I have to look up a solution for a puzzle late in the game XD. Highly recommend people to get this and play.
Really fun
adorable and fun paper mario clone. if you are a fan of PM64 or TTYD (or whatever you might call the paper mario-like genre), please pick this game up.
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Escape from Ever After wears its inspiration on its sleeve and executes it flawlessly. The gameplay is challenging but rewarding, the level design encourages you to explore every nook and cranny for collectibles that payout in battle, and the characters have wit and charm that propels the story forward to its end. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys turn-based RPGs.
As a big fan of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, this game and Bug Fables have scratched the itch that Nintendo has left with me since 2004. The game mechanics, level design, combat, plot, humor, and characters are all reminiscent of that TTYD formula and the devs really nailed it all in their own way with this game. Thank you for this great experience!
