Nintendo Life's latest opinion piece highlights Escape From Ever After as the most convincing attempt yet to recapture what made Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door special. Released by Sleepy Castle Studio on 23 January across major platforms, the game is presented as a deliberate return to the RPG-style formula long missed by series fans.

  • Release details: Sleepy Castle Studio launched Escape From Ever After on 23 January, and it arrived on all the main gaming platforms.
  • Design intent: The studio set out to give players a title that restores RPG-focused systems and charm that longtime Paper Mario aficionados have been asking for.
  • How it compares: Nintendo Life suggests this entry comes closer than recent indie rivals to matching the spirit and design of The Thousand-Year Door.
  • Context among peers: Previous indie efforts such as Born of Bread and Bug Fables were noted as admirable but ultimately fell short of fully replicating that classic Paper Mario experience.
