Wow, this game has blown me away with a mixture of adventure/point and click to me, feeling how every single modern God in the world has a heartbreaking story with a fantastic musical.
And I am not the biggest fan of musicals, but this is exceptionally unique with a different way to go into an RPG!
Welcome to the Realm of Gods, a dark story, mystery, and musical adventure!
Today we are looking at Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical.
Summary:
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.
An urban fantasy tale of finding your place, taking charge of your fate, and discovering answers. Your choices will change the endings and your path to get there.
My Experience:
So I barely heard about this game besides some images, trailers, and other things about Stray Gods, but after purchasing the game and playing throughout ACT I and II...
The Music is the most TOP TIER thing I have heard this year in video games. I know that is a powerful statement, but this is well done! You can listen and understand each of God's stories depending on the Music you use to interact with them, which can lead you to several paths.
Good Ending
Bad Ending
Neutral Ending
Not many, if any, have ever used musical/RPG-like mechanics in a game before, and "Stray Gods" defiantly accomplishes that here!
Song Differences
Charming path
Cleaver Path
Kickass Path
Every one of these can lead you to different ends of the story or all lead you to the neutral ending, but that depends on what you sing.
