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.

Really fun game, especially if you work corporate!
thanks
i spent like 10 hours in one day on this game. imo the storyline and gameplay is very engaging, though some of the hitboxes were kind of rigged, i would suggest this to anyone who likes turn based RPGS
it's pretty good
A great game to scratch that Paper Mario itch. It does have a few glitches but nothing that will break the game, mostly camera issues. It would be nice to see a sequel some day, but I don't think this game needs DLC of any kind.
Игра идеальна для SteamDeck (проходил на нем). Игра, вкратце, очень напоминает игры на PS1 что-то вроде Toys Story + Final Fantasy (до 7ой). Играется легко, пожалел что не взял высокую сложность. Игра изобилует скрытыми и секретными локациями, побочными квестами (которые тож забавные). Сюжет не сильно замысловатый, но он добрый и всеравно затягивает). Надеюсь что игра окупилась разработчикам и они надумают выпускать сиквел!. 9/10 (жаль таких игр мало)
Awesome game! Definitely scratched the itch of wanting the battle system from paper mario 1&2 and the story was pretty awesome as well! Hope they make a sequel.
This is genuinely Paper Mario 3. Felt slightly too hard on hard difficulty (I used the tower to gain a few levels at two separate points to compensate) but overall 10/10 great writing, great gameplay, really hope we get a sequel.
Excelente Juego, es muy entretenido, es como paper mario, pero la historia es diferente y llama mucho la atención
