Escape from Ever After: Onboarding

About

Escape from Ever After: Onboarding is a turn-based RPG with a paper-cutout art style that pits players against a corporate villain exploiting fairytales for profit. Battle through grid-based encounters using character-specific skills and environmental interactions while navigating a story about resisting authoritarian workplace policies in a magical setting. The game functions as a standalone prelude to a larger narrative. The game's blend of dry humor and corporate satire stands out in its genre. Its art direction and combat mechanics draw comparisons to classic 3D RPGs while introducing workplace critique themes uncommon in fairy tale settings. Available on next-gen consoles and PC, it launched in July 2024 with plans for expanded content in future releases.
