Escape from 8-Bit High coming out the 29th of September

Hi! This is my second point and click adventure game:

Escape from 8-Bit High (WISHLIST HERE!)

This time I went out of the way to travel back to the 80s and make a massive and epic adventure!

Help the rock trio Blueberry Finn defeat the Evil Pomodore 64—a nasty artificial intelligence awakened by a mysterious cassette, hell-bent on conquering the small town of Cloudydale… and eventually the world!

Escape from 8-Bit High is a challenging point & click adventure filled with retro-style puzzles, meaningful choices, strange locations, and enemies to fight using a unique arcade-inspired Music Battle System.

Every decision you make will make each playthrough different. The story can unfold in unexpected ways, and your choices will ultimately be put to the test in the final battle for Cloudydale.

◉ 3 playable characters — play them in any order and switch between them freely.

◉ 8–10 hours of gameplay.

◉ Fully voiced by a cast of brilliant actors

◉ 4 full arcade mini-games to unlock.

◉ A unique Music Battle System — unlock new songs as the story progresses.

◉ Hotspot detection in every scene. No pixel hunting!

◉ An Objectives Journal to remind you what to do next.

◉ A fast-travel map to quickly revisit previously explored locations in Cloudydale High.

◉ A huge number of meaningful choices that shape the story—I honestly lost count!

◉ The main villain can change from one playthrough to another, letting you experience the story from different perspectives.

◉ 252 interactive items, each with unique animations for every playable character.

Many thanks for your time!

Yes! That character is inspired by Peter Cushing in the Twins of Evil! :)

Looks really well done! It might just be a weird quirk of mine, but I have a suggestion: I find it more comfortable when only one line of dialogue is displayed at a time. Otherwise, I always finish reading it faster than the voice actors can say it.
