Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical

I'm never getting those 6 hours back

This is the first game I have ever played to have 0 redeeming qualities about it. I streamed the whole thing to a friend already intending to laugh at it because it wasn't my thing and we both knew it, but good god this was an exercise in absolute misery. The plot makes no sense if you think about for even a second (or don't think about it at all! it contradicts itself within minutes of stating things so it hardly matters). The actual game is nothing more than a visual slideshow of atrocious character design clinging to life with little-to-no animation. Calling this an RPG is bordering on false advertising with how little gameplay there is here, it's a visual novel through and through with basically no choices to be made save for minor romantic options, and the entire game is so obscenely overpriced that I feel blessed to have gotten this for free instead of wasting 30 dollars on this trash. The actual execution of this game's art is somewhat pleasing to the eye, I guess, but I hate how every single character looks and the 3D models are so low-poly that they distract from the otherwise-pleasing comic-book style that I was actually kind of getting into. Audio mixing is atrocious. Songs are nothing but exposition dialogue or painful quips strung together by actors who can't sing. The only tolerable character gets revealed to be a massive liar near the end solely due to a factor out of his control and he's treated as badly for it as a character everyone has hated on throughout the game with no explanation and an actual fucking monster who tries to eat you. Avoid this with every fibre of your being if you can. Do not get this game on sale, do not get it for free. Do not play this game and waste 6 hours of your precious life on this utter garbage. Go read Bullfinch's Mythology instead. Or go outside and sing to some birds. I don't know. Just do anything other than play this game.
