There has been a remarkable intersection between video games and musical performance this year, from villains lending vocals to their own theme tunes to interactive songs....
#thefulllid - 13th October 2023 - Happy Friday! This week we're singing a new tune with @summerfallgames incredible #straygods, standing guard with @fiona_creates' Ladies of the Knight and EMBRACING THE SPICE ETERNAL with @LastWeekTonight
Wenn die zockende Assistentin kurzfristig einspringen muss und sich gerade #StrayGods gekauft hat, müssen wir leider zusammen spielen. Wir haben aber auch beide Pech 🙃 /i
I can't, folks. I just can't. Seriously, if I can play Stray Gods without sighted assistance as @stirlock is saying... I will probably lose my mind with happiness. Ya see, I love RPG's, but I am also a huge, huge sucker for musicals. And this is both! With a mechanic where you make the songs play out different ways based on your choices! I just... I need this to be true. Abled people who read this, imagine what this feels like. The uncertainty of not knowing if it's true, but really, really wanting, needing it to be true. Imagine the disappointment I'll feel if it's not, now that the carrot has been extended. This is what we go thorugh ALL the time. I remember reaching out to the developer of this game around the time it was announced, basically begging them to consider blind accessibility, and they seemed uncertain then. Was I heard? Dare I believe I was heard? Sorry for the discombobulated thoughts... My head is spinning. #StrayGods
It's the sequel thread, and this time I'll do it right!
I'll reply to this thread every time I "finish" playing a video game this year. That could mean getting to the end of the story it tells, or just getting to a point where I think I've experienced what the game has to offer me.
By "doing it right" I mean that I won't forget about the part where I don't actually have to play to what would be considered the end of the game.
A nasty save-deleting bug on release day aside, this little game was an excellent, focused experience from start to finish.
Most every character is really likable, which of course meant I ended up flirting wildly with both Freddie and Persephone before finally making up my mind on whom to pursue.
With 8.8 hours played so far, I'll revisit it soon for sure! I've more songs to sing and another girl to kiss, at the very least!
