About Clare's Escape
Based on first hand accounts from real-life English 'peasant poet' John Clare, this story follows his escape from an asylum and chronicles his 80 mile walk home. The adventure explores the fictions and misremembering that resulted from a troubled mind experiencing such an exhausting trek.

Encounter local people, engage them in branching dialogue, hear their stories and bump into figments of Clare's imagination.

This is such a lovely indie gem! It has a gentle pace as you play and explore the world - meeting characters and trying to ‘escape’. There’s all these little mythical elements that made me question what was going on with this person! It has a lovely atmosphere using just pixel graphics too. I feel I need to go on a little game tourist trip to visit these places!2 found this helpful
It's a short story, but well made. A few Steam achievements (find all the notes, etc) would be a nice addition. Now that they've been added, even better!1 found this helpful
