    Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical is a creative, choice-heavy game focusing on interactive music at the root of a murder mystery involving ancient myths in the modern day. Stray Gods: Orpheus is a genuinely compelling DLC addition to that mythos centered around one person’s quest for self-discovery long after they thought their story was over. Ultimately, I love the hopeful possibility inherent in the plot as this DLC proves to be a welcome return to an enjoyable game.

    While that spells intrigue for the future of Stray Gods, we’ll have to wait to see whether its core threads are laced together in further chapters. I’d love to see Orpheus again in future, and after such an endearing encore, I’m sure there will be others that feel the same.

    Stray Gods: Orpheus is an easy recommendation for fans of the base game despite its short runtime. I enjoyed the many songs and visuals in the DLC a lot more than I expected, but it should’ve either been cheaper or offered a bit more story. If you’re ok with an hour or so long experience, Stray Gods: Orpheus is worth grabbing, and it also reminded me of how good the game runs and looks on Steam Deck OLED.

    The original did feel like it offered a bit more player agency via things like a map interface and the initial choice of a personality trait for Grace, and the romantic conversation options don't lead to anything nearly as fleshed out. However, Orpheus is about one-third the length and price of the original, making it a more-than-worthwhile pursuit for fans of the first installment, particularly considering the replay value. Orpheus is very much a different sort of story than Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, but it continues the stellar writing and musicality in a brilliant new way.
