Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical

You can take the girl out of the theatre, but you cannot take the theatre out of the girl, and that dooms me to like Summerfall Studios’ debut more than a merely normal amount. It’s a modernised take on mythology mixed with a murder mystery, and you crack the case by following the musical theatre rule: ‘when you can’t speak, sing.’

An interactive musical in three acts, your investigation winds through many branches of dialogue choices both on and off stage. Sometimes you’re asking the tough questions and at other times you’re picking lyrics to belt out, but most often when the music starts you’re selecting an approach rather than choosing exactly what to say.
