Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical
Description
In a modern fantasy world, college dropout Grace is granted the power of a Muse - power she’ll need to find out the truth behind her predecessor’s death before time runs out. You’ll decide who Grace allies with, who she can trust, and who may betray her in this beautifully hand-illustrated roleplaying musical.
Written by David Gaider comes Stray Gods - an urban fantasy tale of finding your place, taking charge of your fate, and discovering answers. Your choices will change the endings, as well as the path you take to get there.
A compelling story of hope, self-discovery, and forging your path.
Adventure, love, and songs await!
Charm, negotiate, or strong-arm your way through their world as Grace, playing through original, fully interactive musical numbers composed by Grammy-nominated composer Austin Wintory, Tripod (musicians Scott Edgar, Steven Gates, and Simon Hall) and Eurovision Australia’s own Montaigne (Jess Cerro). Fully orchestrated and performed by an all-star cast, you’ll feel as though you’re right there on the stage. With thousands of potential variations based on your choices, you’ll craft the soundtrack to your own one of a kind musical experience.
Choice and consequence built from the DNA of RPGs - no two playthroughs are the same.
Delve into a hidden world of mythic Greek gods and monsters as you get to know a cast of hilarious, enigmatic, and compelling characters. Forget what you know about these mythological beings - in Stray Gods you’ll forge friendships and find foes with many familiar names, but not so familiar stories. Play as star and stagehand as you determine the story you want to tell through conversation and song.
Find friendship, love, or yourself.
Build friendships with mortals and Gods alike. Stoke the fires of romance if you so choose - explore, pursue, and confess your love with four potential paramours. Decide who you want to be through every choice. David Gaider’s storytelling and characters come to life with performances by an all-star cast, with the likes of Laura Bailey, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn and more cast members across video games, television, and Broadway.
A musical for video game lovers, and a video game for musical lovers.
With all the comedy and tragedy of your favorite stage shows, Stray Gods is a tongue-in-cheek and heartfelt reconception of Greek mythology combining what we love about contemporary musical theater with video games where character and story take center stage. Collaborating with some of the best in music, broadway, television, and games - Stray Gods is a debut not to be missed.

4/5
Stray Gods' unique blend of musicals and video games alone makes it worthy of applause, but it's the incredible way that the ear-pleasing, player-orchestrated numbers are weaved into such a well-designed murder mystery which deserves the loudest cheers.

9.5/10
A modern-day musical murder mystery in which the Greek gods are living among mortals, and you've just become one of them. DualShockers was provided with a copy of the game for review purposes.

81/100
A genuinely thrilling, occasionally heartbreaking tale that shines a new light on well-known Greek gods. The musical aspect makes it one of the most unique visual novels you'll play, but its inconsistency in quality lets it down.

Excellent Game!
More of an interactive movie than a game, but still incredibly well done! Highly recommend for anyone a fan of musicals, greek mythology, or urban arcana. Just a hell of a good story, all in all.

So delightful and creative!
There's no way I would ever come upon this by trying to search for a game I want to play on my own. In a certain other water-vapory game store, there's a box on each game's page that says, "this game is like these other games you played," or "This game isn't like other games you've played." I assume that if I were to bring this game up on there, that box would say, "Wait, what?" But I saw something about it on Second Wind that put it on my radar. And I'm so glad that happened. Adorable story, music, and art aside, the voice cast is absolutely to die for, especially if you are at all a fan of actual play D&D. I don't dare list all of the "Oh, it's ______!" for fear of leaving someone out. And that's usually followed by "Wow, they can sing!" That said, this isn't like other games I've played. You've got to be willing to meet it where it's at. And where it's at is absolutely charming.

Unexpectedly Satisfying
Really interesting how it makes everyone randomly bursting out into song actually make sense as to why it is happening. Pretty intriguing storyline and very relaxing to play through. Actually tempted to do additional runs to see how things go with the other play styles.
