Class is in session — but so is chaos. Publisher Dionous Games and developer Duck Made Of Wood are thrilled to announce that Escape from 8-Bit High, the tongue-in-cheek retro point-and-click adventure, is out right now on Steam and GOG for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Grab your guitar — it’s time to save the school.
The Principal of Evil Has Arrived
It’s the 1980s at Cloudydale High, and a cursed cassette tape has awakened Pomodore 64 — a sentient, malevolent computer with plans to conquer the town… and then the world. Leading an army of aliens, dinosaurs, zombies, and mole men, this 8-bit tyrant has taken over the school.
Standing in his way: Blueberry Finn, a scrappy alt-rock trio made up of Hank, Duck, and Alex. No heroes, no special powers — just three friends with instruments, quick wits, and a whole lot of attitude. It’s up to you to guide them through puzzles, face down digital nightmares, and rock the system back into submission.
