BGMania B-Sides #41 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth steps into Escape from Ever After, a recently released indie title that twists classic fairy tale imagery into something far more eerie, introspective, and emotionally charged. What begins as a familiar storybook setup slowly unravels into a dreamlike escape, where whimsy and unease exist side by side and nothing quite feels as safe or predictable as it should.
The soundtrack mirrors that tonal shift beautifully, blending delicate melodies, melancholic textures, and subtly unsettling atmospheres that feel hand-stitched to the game’s world. Soft instrumentation gives way to darker harmonic turns, creating music that feels reflective, fragile, and quietly tense without ever becoming overwhelming. It’s a score that invites you to linger, to feel the weight behind the fantasy, and to sit with the uneasy question of what “happily ever after” really means once the curtain is pulled back.
