About This Game

Travel back to the days of 8-bit computers and arcade cabinets with this retro, action-packed, music-driven 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.

Will you make the right choices? There’s only one way to find out!

Three characters. Three wildly different adventures. One gigantic story!

Hank will battle zombies, ghosts, and vampires while uncovering the dark secrets of Cloudydale High.

Alex will venture deep underground towards the Earth's core, encountering mutants, Amazons, and even uncovering the true fate of Atlantis.
