After buying it literally years ago, I finally got around to starting Stray Gods, recently, and holy crap it is GOOD!

It's a different experience to anything I've ever had in games, and it's a positive experience, and that's about the highest praise I can give to any game, as far as I'm concerned.

Interestingly, the experience felt somewhat more passive than many games, like it felt a little bit BETWEEN watching and playing (but not at all like reading, which is a whole other interesting thing, having been playing a few VNs, lately.) This is weird, because it's not like the game lacks choice or interactivity, it just feels like you're nudging this other entity that has its own momentum. All games which have a story that you can influence are like that, but Stray Gods FEELS like it - perhaps because songs feel like they have an energy and dynamism to them and you interject to redirect it at times?

Anyway, fucking play it if you haven't, it's great.
