You also get to craft Francis' alter ego by choosing from a variety of fictional home planets, handcrafting your grandiose stage name, and customizing his outfit. You can choose dialogue options throughout the game, but they won't affect the plot in any discernible way. The Artful Escape is like a downhill snowboarding title meets a gentle platformer meets a rhythm game. Change is scary, and change in the face of what feels like a predetermined path is petrifying, but The Artful Escape makes the journey towards self-discovery downright beautiful. Those who have taken the road less traveled on their journey to self-identification know all too well the vice-like grip of anxiety that takes hold at the thought of disapproval from friends and family, or the fluttering of self-doubt butterflies that threaten to bring up your dinner when you venture out in a new look. The self-doubt that plagues Francis will also speak to many of us.
In very Ramona Flowers fashion, Violetta appears seemingly out of nowhere at the top of a mountain in Calypso and dryly asks Francis the most important question of his adolescent life (and one that speaks to us all): "have you ever considered becoming someone else entirely?" It's that question that cues up The Artful Escape title card and sparks the match that starts a fire in Francis' belly - a fire that nearly flickers out whenever he doubts himself along the way.
Luckily, Francis gets a chance to step into Bowie's moon boots and out of his uncle's shadow thanks to a girl named Violetta.
