Imagination Is the Only Escape is an unreleased video game by Luc Bernard. It was developed for the Nintendo DS.

Set in France during World War II, Imagination Is The Only Escape is an educational title aiming to teach children about The Holocaust.

Development

In 2013, Bernard started an Indiegogo drive for Imagination Is the Only Escape, a game he began developing in 2008. As of September 4, 2013 it had reached $1,704 of its $125,000 goal.

In 2021 another Crowdfunder for the game appeared on Indiegogo receiving $5,055 out of a $125,000 goal in funding.

Controversy

Imagination has courted controversy for its dark setting and subject matter.

Nintendo of America has stated that they have no plans to release the game. Bernard claims that the company is afraid of the game's subject matter, but believes Nintendo of Europe will not block its release.
