Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical

It is now 7:28 am and ive cried multiple times tonight but i loved it good night now

It's not a perfect game. The music isn't mind blowing, and neither is a lot of the singing. (It's good, don't get me wrong. It just didn't knock my socks off) What it is though is really quite enjoyable. It's a great game that rides the line between high quality and campy. It's serious when it needs to be and it's still when it's called for. The writing is quite good, as is the voice acting. The cast is awesome. I got really excited when like every other character started talking because their VAs are great!

Cute. Freddie <3

Laura Bailey and Ashley Johnson sings a duet in this... If that doesn't sell you, then sorry, can't help poor taste

I am not a fan of musicals, so I didn't expect much from this game, but I loved it! First off, the game has voice acting?? That alone takes it to the next level. The game also has a unique art style with pictures, which makes it stand out from other games. The story premise revolves around you suddenly becoming a muse randomly. Because of this, you are being taken away into a world where God's exist. You are replacing the last muse, which you saw die right in front of you. So of course, you're a suspect and must prove yourself to be innocent because her blood is literally in your hands. In this world, Gods have always existed but they hid themselves so well right in the middle of the city. Who would have thought? I liked how this game almost made Gods seem normal. They do not have any sort of crazy powers. If anything, there were some God that expressed that their powers were making them miserable. However, the ending of the game was not great. You mean to tell me that [spoiler] the Gods together chose to reveal themselves to the whole world and the only thing to come out of that is that they become famous? You mean to tell me that the government wont take them in and conduct a million experiments on them? You mean to tell me that people wont storm their hiding spot and do unthinkable things to them because they are scared of the powers that the Gods possess? Yeah, right. Likely story... You're saying that at the end, Medusa was taken by the government by her OWN free will, so that she could control those urges she has of hurting people? [/spoiler] Sure, sure. BUT regardless, the game was truly enjoyable. You can play it multiple times to see different events. And also the musicals can have different outcomes and lyrics depending on your choices! So that's fun. I did love Charion, the one who gives passage to the underworld. He was very cute.

Okay, the game is not completely horrible but it's not for everyone. I'll try to leave this review free of heavy spoilers. - The interpretation of the original myths and how the characters, essentially gods, grew from their "canonical" past into what we see in the game is unconventional. There've been times when I was surprised and/or shocked by the writing choices of some gods' present just not fitting in with their past or not feeling logical to their original conflict or alignment. This is not bad, but it did make it harder for me to take the game events seriously - Some plot points feel rushed or in general unjustified, their impact not being as great as the authors might have intended, leaving me, in that situation to just not care about some events. Some characters were introduced just to never be seen again. - The pacing of the dialogs is slow. Not horribly, but it was hard to sit through everything at times. From the good things: - The artstyle is good. If you look close enough, most of the character sprites' eyes look as if they're crooked but it's easy to ignore once you get used to it. - Being able to choose between three options of personality for mc is a good touch. - I'm sorry I can't really think of much else. So, in general, if you're unbothered by the "canons" or original stories of the gods mentioned you will just be fine. The game is playable, it doesn't take terribly long to finish, it's nice to look at. I would just not recommend it cause, for me, the writing choices destroyed the charm of the idea, unfortunately, and I won't be replaying it. I stopped caring for the plot somewhere in the middle when some events collided with eachother with, on my subjective opinion, little reason or logic behind them.

Ich hatte eine gute Zeit. Nicht mehr, aber auch nicht weniger
