Hey Escape from Ever After fans!
As you probably know by now, the world of Escape from Ever After isn't just one world—it's a collection of storybooks you can literally jump between. Each one has its own genre, rules, and visual style. If you've played the demo or prologue, you've already visited a few of these.
With launch just around the corner (mark your calendars for January 23, 2026), we figured it was a good time to give you a spoiler-light peek at the main storybooks waiting in the full game.
A few quick notes before we dive in:
This only covers the main story worlds—there are other locations we're keeping under wraps for now.
We're keeping things as vague as possible, focusing on vibes and visuals rather than plot.
If you want to go in completely blind, now's your chance to turn back.
Still here? Great. Let's crack open a few books.
A familiar fairytale… with an HR department.
This is where everything starts—a classic heroic tale that immediately goes sideways. What was once a grand medieval castle is now the headquarters of Ever After Inc., where stone archways meet cubicle farms and ancient banners hang above the break room.
This world serves as your main hub, and it evolves constantly as the story unfolds. Every time you return, there's something new: fresh areas to explore, coworkers to chat with, side quests to pick up, and secrets hiding in places you'd never think to look. It's medieval grandeur meets corporate drudgery meets storybook weirdness, all crammed under one roof.
A cozy fairytale… where something feels slightly off.
At first glance, this world is exactly what you'd expect: cheerful little houses, rolling green hills, and the kind of warm storybook charm that feels instantly familiar. But spend a little time here and you'll start noticing details that don't quite match the version you grew up with.
This is one of the first external worlds you'll visit, and many of you have already seen it in the demo. It's bright, playful, and welcoming—but full of small twists that gently subvert your expectations. Cozy with a side of "wait, what?"
A seaside town wrapped in fog, secrets, and extremely bad vibes.
Here's where things get dark. This eerie coastal storybook is inspired by classic cosmic horror, trading bright colors for moody lighting, weird architecture, and a persistent feeling that something is very, very wrong.
The town might look quaint at first, but the locals aren't exactly rolling out the welcome mat. Beneath the surface is a mystery that reveals itself slowly, one deeply unsettling detail at a time. It's a sharp tonal shift from the earlier worlds, and a personal favorite for anyone who loves creeping dread and terrible fish-based puns.
Pirates, palm trees, and a whole lot of ocean.
Welcome to the high seas. This storybook is a sprawling tropical pirate adventure spread across a massive ocean dotted with islands, all connected by the most important thing you'll own: your ship.
You'll explore lively port towns, hunt down map fragments, and sail between dangerous locations in search of legendary treasure. Every island has its own personality, and the pirate clichés are embraced enthusiastically—rum-soaked taverns, questionable accents, parrots that won't shut up, and more suspiciously buried loot than you can shake a cutlass at.
A sci-fi epic on a frozen, hostile world.
One of the later storybooks throws you straight into the deep end. Set on a distant ice planet, this world swaps fairytale tropes for sci-fi survival, alien landscapes, and extremely weird lifeforms.
The environment is cold, beautiful, and absolutely lethal, filled with bizarre flora, aggressive fauna, and locals who—how do we put this—don't speak your language. Or any language you'd recognize. It's a dramatic visual departure and a reminder that in Escape from Ever After, no genre is safe from corporate invasion.
That's it for this quick tour—just a taste of what's waiting for you in the full game!
Thanks for sticking around, and if you like what you're seeing, don't forget to wishlist Escape from Ever After. The full game launches January 23, 2026, and we can't wait for you to experience every page yourself.
See you between the covers!
