A twisted fairy tale storyline

Unlike traditional fairy tales where good always prevails, Escape from Ever After places players in an ironic setting. When familiar fairy tale characters decide to modernize their world in pursuit of profit under the manipulation of the Ever After Inc. corporation, the main character Flynt Buckler must embark on a dramatic journey to escape the constraints of office life and save the comic book world.

A unique paper-inspired art style

The biggest highlight that draws attention to Escape from Ever After is its distinctive artistic direction. The game features flat 2D character models set within 3D environments, evoking memories of the legendary Paper Mario series. This combination creates a world that feels as cozy as illustrated storybook pages while remaining lively thanks to modern, smooth visual effects.

Role-playing gameplay mixed with puzzles

In terms of gameplay, players will experience a turn-based combat system that requires careful planning and well-timed action commands to maximize damage or defense. In addition, puzzle-solving and environmental exploration play a key role, allowing players to uncover the secrets behind the management system that is corrupting the fairy tale world.

Available on major platforms starting January 23

Developer Sleepy Castle Studio and publisher HypeTrain Digital have confirmed that the game is well optimized for both desktop computers and handheld devices. Notably, the PC version has earned Steam Deck Verified status, allowing players to enjoy Flynt Buckler's journey anywhere.

As of January 23, 2026, players can purchase and download the game on Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, as well as the online stores of PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo, with a starting price of around $24.99 USD.
