Once more, with feeling.

It's just a shame that there is some wasted potential in the storytelling. Despite some emotional moments and tricky decisions to make, the narrative plays out in a relatively straightforward way.

The murder mystery tries to keep you guessing but isn't particularly deep, and the supporting plotlines, characters, and world-building – while strong and often featuring more intrigue than the main story – don't quite elevate the overall story enough to a level where it sticks with you long after the game is over.

The first moments of the game also set up Grace's inner feelings, but there is a lack of a follow-through. As Grace sings and then shares with Calliope, we learn that she feels adrift and without a sense of belonging. She doesn't know what her place is in life. Grace's life changes later that night when she becomes a god, but how this life-changing moment affects Grace's outlook isn't really explored afterwards, at least to a satisfying extent.However, none of that takes away from the game being entertaining from the title screen right up to the end credits.

To further emphasise the ambition behind it all, the studio is releasing four different soundtracks for the game's launch, each representing the different paths that you can take.out there right now, and while it falls short of hitting the highs of some of the musicals that served as inspiration for the game, its narrative design and the unique way in which player choice affects the story make for a refreshing and enjoyable ride.
