    Bytes, Bands, and Bad Guys — Escape from 8-Bit High Blasts onto Steam and GOG!

    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.

    Meet Blueberry Finn — Your Heroes in Faded Denim

    Something has gone deeply, digitally wrong at Cloudydale High. A mysterious cursed cassette has awakened the Evil Pomodore 64 — a sentient, power-hungry AI with a serious grudge — and it’s unleashed an army of 8-bit villains: aliens, mole people, dinosaurs, and zombies. Standing in its way? Blueberry Finn, a scrappy alt-rock trio made up of Hank, Duck, and Alex. Three friends, three wildly different paths, one epic story.

    Three Adventures, One Big Story

    Play the three bandmates in any order and switch between them freely as their journeys converge:

    • Hank — uncovers Cloudydale High’s darkest secrets while battling zombies, ghosts, and vampires
    • Duck — blasts into the cosmos to fight the menacing Kelad Empire and stop an interstellar pandemic
    • Alex — digs deep toward the Earth’s core, encountering mutants, Amazons, and the lost city of Atlantis

    Rock the System — Music Battle Combat

    Puzzles meet performance in the game’s signature Music Battle System, an arcade-style rhythm mechanic that turns every showdown into a concert. And don’t sweat the beat — an easy rhythm mode means everyone can rock out, regardless of reflexes. Your choices also shape the story — alternate paths, different outcomes, and a finale that depends on everything you’ve done.

    Launch Deal — 15% Off Through October 13

    The full game offers 8–10 hours of retro charm, puzzles, and rock-and-roll heart. Dive in risk-free:

    • Free demo available right now on Steam
    • 15% launch discount live on both Steam and GOG through October 13, 2026
    • Cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux

    The bell has rung — detention is over, and the adventure begins. Will you ace the test, or will the Pomodore 64 rewrite history?
