HypeTrain Studio and Sleepy Castle Studio have officially announced that their latest RPG-adventure title, Escape from Ever After, is headed to Nintendo Switch.
The developers have confirmed that the highly-anticipated game will launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop on January 23, 2026. Escape from Ever After is an imaginative RPG adventure that draws inspiration from the beloved Paper Mario series.
The game invites players into a vibrant world where fairytale and storybook characters must rally together and challenge the corporate might of Ever After Inc.
With its unique blend of whimsical narrative and engaging strategy gameplay, Escape from Ever After is set to capture the attention of both RPG aficionados and fans of stylized, story-driven experiences on the Nintendo Switch platform. The developers describe Escape from Ever After as featuring "snappy, stylish turn-based combat, genre-bending storybook worlds, and heaps of cartoony charm." Players will traverse lush, handcrafted environments packed with colorful characters and dynamic locales, all while facing off against eccentric foes in battles that prioritize experimentation and strategy.
As players progress, they’ll have the chance to assemble and customize a diverse party, upgrading unique skills and adapting to a continually evolving set of gameplay rules. One of the game's standout features is its distinctive setting, where players can engage in office banter, assist quirky coworkers, and even decorate their in-game office as they ascend the corporate ladder.
This creative narrative structure promises to keep each playthrough fresh and lively, with storybook tropes given a satirical, modern twist.
Richly packed with sidequests, hidden treasures, and playful secrets, the storybook worlds provide a backdrop for both main story progression and memorable optional content. The development team also highlights the game's energetic soundtrack, composed in a modern jazz big-band style, which adds momentum to every moment.
These musical elements help set the tone for a whimsical adventure, further distinguishing Escape from Ever After from other RPGs in the Nintendo Switch library. Upon its release in early 2026, Escape from Ever After will be available exclusively as a digital download through the Nintendo eShop.
As fans of indie game development and Nintendo Switch RPGs look forward to this imaginative title, HypeTrain Studio and Sleepy Castle Studio aim to deliver a compelling and original experience honoring classic influences while charting new creative territory. Stay tuned to official Nintendo Direct updates and the eShop for more details on Escape from Ever After and additional upcoming releases for the Nintendo Switch.
