Escape From Ever After is a bite-sized indie RPG on Switch that leans hard into the humor and accessible mechanics fans of early Paper Mario titles will recognize. You play Flynt Buckler, a fairy-tale protagonist who discovers the dragon's keep has been repurposed into a corporate workplace and is quickly folded into menial office life. The game sends Flynt jumping between different storybooks to carry out tasks for the company while plotting to upend the new order, delivering charm and approachable design with a few rough spots.

  • Style and tone: Brightly written dialogue and playful scenarios capture that whimsical, self-aware RPG feel without overcomplicating systems.
  • Core loop: Short chapters set in distinct books keep progression brisk—each area offers tasks and light puzzle-solving rather than deep RPG complexity.
  • Main character hook: Flynt's corporate misadventures provide a fresh twist on fairy-tale hero tropes, blending satire with classic quest beats.
  • Polish and limitations: The experience is concise and often delightful, though it shows indie-sized constraints and a few mechanical quirks.
