The game
A spiritual successor to Cortopia’s hit Down the Rabbit Hole, Escaping Wonderland is a VR puzzle game that takes place in a familiar yet darker version of Lewis Carroll’s fantasy world.
What starts as the puzzle-solving expedition of a plucky anonymous girl slowly reveals deeper stakes, as we learn more about our protagonist and the reason behind her adventure. The game combines humor, whimsy, and an honest portrayal of challenges that can arise in the human emotional landscape.
The score
Following the mood of the game, the score’s tone is a mix of whimsy, magic, melancholy, and yearning. There are orchestral scherzos, 60’s spy pop, probably excessive amounts of pizzicato, and a haunting lullaby that lies beneath it all.
