Stray Gods is a roleplaying musical video game developed by Summerfall Studios, based on Classical Mythology.The game is an Urban Fantasy revolving around Grace (voiced by Laura Bailey), an up-and-coming musician who is suddenly given the amazing singing powers of Calliope, a Muse and Greek goddess. Unfortunately, that happens as Calliope dies in her arms, and now what remains of the once-illustrious pantheon is gunning for her. With powers she's only beginning to understand and one week to prove her innocence, Grace goes on a coming-of-age journey that can see her shine solo, let someone else take the lead, or collaborate with friends, romantic partners, and possibly enemies.Gameplay revolves around a choices system similar to BioWare and Telltale Games output, with Red for Kickass maneuvers, Blue for Clever maneuvers, and Green for Charming maneuvers. During the story and musical numbers, choices made will affect how songs proceed and what Grace decides to do along her journey.The game was released on August 10, 2023 for all major consoles and PC, and a free demo on Steam was available until May 11, 2023. Its website can be found here. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: If a Clever Grace asks Apollo if the prophecies he makes are effectively fate, she comments that she's never had much patience for fate. Apollo points out that she's in a world of gods and magic now. When Grace jokingly suggests to Persephone that the Idols could have originated as alien lifeforms for all they know, Persephone initially dismisses it offhand. Grace takes it as hypocrisy that she is expected to believe in gods and magic can exist but not aliens. Persephone wryly humors her. | |

Big, Screwed-Up Family: Played with, as while the Idols aren't actually related to one another, they played at being a family so long that, for all intents and purposes, they are one, with all the baggage that being a Greek God comes with. | |

| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_164497e1 | comment |
Knew It All Along: Subverted. If, the night before the trial, you tell Pan about Athena being the one responsible for Calliope's death, he declares, "Of course it's Athena!". When Grace asks him if he knew, though, he immediately declares he didn't. | |

Genre Savvy | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: Apollo knows how deceptive prophecies can be, and any effort to change your fate will simply backfire on you, so he prefers to not use his power at all. Unfortunately, Athena never learned this lesson, and her effort to save the Idols turn out to be entirely pointless, even after Apollo warns her not to take prophecies literally. | |

Big First Choice | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_1a888076 | comment |
Big First Choice: The first big choice is to determine Grace's main characteristic (Kickass, Clever, or Charming), while the first big song choice is where Grace can choose to join her friend Freddie, the god Pan, or neither and strike out on her own. | |

Multiple Endings: While the outcome of the trial and what the Idols do afterward are fixed, Grace's choice of love interest (or lack thereof) changes the ending, and the choices involving other characters often dictate what happens to them in the epilogue. | |

Senseless Sacrifice | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_1dacdb4f | comment |
Senseless Sacrifice: In Act 3, if Grace sacrifices her godhood to bring Freddie back, some characters question if it might end up being pointless in the end. As the last muse, Freddie will be Athena's target, the Idols are still coming to an end, and in the end, Calliope might well "take over" anyway. Of course, Grace and Freddie can survive the trial, and the Prophecy only said the Idols would not "continue" (as they are), and nothing about them actually dying out. | |

Hopeless with Tech | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_1fc85456 | comment |
Hopeless with Tech: Apollo is the "Basic Understanding" type. He knows how to use a phone, but strongly dislikes it, citing that he doesn't like talking to people he can't see. According to Oracle he's startled by the ringtone every single time, and despite her best attempts, he still doesn't know what an ethernet cable is. Athena is "Completely Hopeless", by Hermes' account. According to them, Athena still calls cars "iron horses". | |

Quarreling Song | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_2924b198 | comment |
Quarreling Song: The Freddie and Pan song revolves around Freddie and Pan both vying for Grace's favor in a duet. Grace can choose one or the other, or reject both. Similarly, the song between Apollo and Persephone has the two quarreling over their contentious past, and ends with Apollo leaving in a huff, forcing Grace to make a choice between staying with Persephone or following Apollo out the door. | |

The Dreaded | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: Most of the remaining pantheon is scared of Persephone due to her icy demeanor and unwillingness to ever let go of grudges. The Furies are an even more extreme case as they will not stop until their payment is due and they predate the pantheon, and only the Fates seem able to command them. Except Athena can too. | |

Was It Really Worth It?: If you choose to give Persephone the throne to the Underworld in Act 3, depending on your dialog choice, Persephone destroys the throne and laments that all the reasons she wanted the throne don't even matter to her anymore, so all of this was effectively pointless. | |

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Apollo refuses to give Grace a prophecy specifically because this trope is in full effect, as was standard operating procedure in Greek mythology.

Aphrodite, for example, is the latest Aphrodite in a series of them. However, if they don’t pass it on if they die, that Idol ceases to exist. | |

Cutting Off the Branches | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_52475ffd | comment |
Cutting Off the Branches: Of a sort. While the Trial can go many ways, the Green Edition of the OST confirms that if Grace is charming, she romances Apollo, and has Eros and Hermes stand with her (which also means she put Aphrodite to rest). In the Red Edition, she romances Persephone, and has Aphrodite and Asterion stand with her, which means she convinced Aphrodite to live, and Asterion successfully confessed to Hecate. Finally, in the Blue Edition, she romances Pan, and has Apollo and Medusa stand with her, which means that she sided with Apollo, and helped Medusa. The Pantheon Edition, which mixes traits, has Grace romance Freddie, and has Hecate and Persephone stand with her, which means she passed the eidolon to Freddie, sided with Persephone, and Asterion didn't end up with Hecate. | |

White-and-Grey Morality | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_58962105 | comment |
White-and-Grey Morality: Nearly every character present in the story is either well-intentioned, flawed, or deeply misguided. Everyone seemingly without redeeming qualities, such as Hades and Ares, are long gone. Even Athena only acted out of desperation and fear that her flock is dying out and she must shoulder the burden alone, and once she realizes her mistake, she surrenders and finds it impossible to forgive herself, even if Grace does. | |

It's All My Fault | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_5ad80bf8 | comment |
It's All My Fault: Several characters with regard to Calliope's death. Apollo blames himself for her death. It would not be revealed until the third act, but it was his prophecy which spurred Athena to act and murdered Calliope, and he blames himself for catipulating to her demands when she came to him for a prophecy. In a more minor way, Pan fears he might have been responsible, as it was him who gave Calliope the means to enter the place where she would be killed, and gave her location away to other parties. Part of the reason he aids Grace is to give Calliope justice by uncovering the truth and find out just how responsible he is for her death. | |

Spontaneous Choreography: Mentioned in the epilogue if you rescued Freddie from the Underworld and didn't end up with her. She's been using this particular power as a muse a lot in the two months since getting it, including once at a funeral. Apollo notes that they've had complaints. | |

Triumphant Reprise | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_5da37ab5 | comment |
Triumphant Reprise: Midway through Act 3, the song Grace sung in the beginning of the game returns, as Grace realizes that the previous Calliopes are all there with her in a sense, and she has to go to the trial to set things right. However, this doesn't occur if you gave Freddie the eidolon to resurrect her, as it was Calliope's power that caused the music to swell and the echoes of the previous Calliopes that cheered Grace on. | |

Guide Dang It!: Some songs can only be heard on specific routes and if you make specific choices, such as the Snake Charmer song only happening if a Clever Grace has allied with Pan, while This Hell is Mine only happens if a Kickass Grace doesn't give the throne to Persephone or Orpheus. Getting the Maestro achievement, which requires you to hear every song, is so tough it requires a guide, with special note to The Ritual having seven variations. | |

My Greatest Failure | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_6ee10e0 | comment |
My Greatest Failure: Apollo blames himself and his powers of prophecy for the War happening. He had foretold its coming and went to Ares, begging him to help stop it. Ares instead chose to escalate because Apollo told him the Idols were a lost cause. Ares revealed the existence of the Idols to the "jackbooted guys", leading to Aphrodite's capture, Hephaestus' sacrifice, and the Idols' exodus to the New World. | |

Missing Time: There's a missing-time gap of about a thousand years that all the Idols suffer from, with Persephone going straight from the fall of Rome to living in a nunnery in the 16th century. No one knows why or how it happened, and no one else can remember a thing about it. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Persephone murdered Hades in the backstory. Considering no one ever had a nice thing to say about him, and he literally kidnapped and physically abused her for centuries, the audience is not expected to mourn him. Ares too. He betrayed the gods and escalated the coming war, leading to the death of a number of his fellows as well as the long torture of Aphrodite, which she still had not recovered from. The others caught up with him, and he "choked on his own blood" in the end. | |

| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: For Aphrodite's story and the greater pantheon's, Ares selling the Idols out to the Nazis led to death, destruction, and Aphrodite being tortured, leading Hephaestus to sacrifice himself so the pantheon could escape. It's implied, and confirmed in Aphrodite's case, that the remaining Idols are decimated from the direct results of what happened. For Persephone's story, Hades mistreating her led her to kill him and unintentionally lose the throne, leaving it open for Orpheus to claim. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Near the very beginning of the game, when Athena brings up killing Grace and ending the line of Calliope, Apollo closes his eyes. Not only does he vocally disagree with her a few minutes later, but he knows exactly why Athena is immediately going for the nuclear option because he made the prophecy she's acting on. When Grace asks Apollo if he would be able to give her a prophecy to help her, he refuses, insisting that prophecies are dangerous because the act of knowing about them puts things in motion. As it turns out, one of Apollo's prophecies is what led Athena to try to kill Calliope, leading to the start of the plot. Persephone comments that if there was the slightest possibility of something being a danger to the Idols, Athena would not stop until that danger was removed. That is why she was the one to send the Furies after Calliope. Towards the end of Act I, Persephone questions if Grace tortured the eidolon out of Calliope. While this obviously isn't true, Aphrodite was tortured during World War II. In Act 2, Medusa notes that she expected Calliope to either flee home or to "sharp and prickly Persephone". While Calliope and Persephone were friends, so were Calliope and Apollo, and Apollo's house was closer to the entrance to the Reliquary than Persephone's club. Why would she then run all the way to Persephone? Turns out Calliope and Persephone had dated before, which Medusa likely knew. She would have assumed that Calliope would sooner run to a lover than to just a friend. In Act 2, if called on as backup for Asterion, Freddie praises his courage for being able to give voice to his feelings, and says she wishes she could do the same, as she feels she had let her own chance slipped away. Sure enough, she had been in love with Grace for years now, and had not acted on her feelings until the tail end of the story. | |

Accomplice by Inaction | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_9ec132e7 | comment |
Accomplice by Inaction: A significant factor in the relationship between Persephone and Apollo. At one point, Persephone managed to escape the underworld, homesick and done with being mistreated by Hades. When Hades caught up to her and went to take her back to the Underworld, Persephone called out to Apollo to help her, but he did nothing. She is still bitter about it to this day, with an allied Persephone citing that incident as the one that led to her being distant from the other Idols. Apollo doesn't disagree, in turn telling an allied Grace that the only reason he chose not to help her was that it would have started a war between Hades and the others, and that he can still picture her expression as Hades dragged "his prisoner" back. Orpheus accuses Persephone of this in Act 3. He knows Hades had no intention of ever giving Eurydice back to him and intentionally set him up to fail, so he is furious with what Hades did. However, he also blames Persephone for standing by when she knew as well as he does that Hades had no intention of allowing Orpheus a fair chance, and turning her back on him. Persephone for her part can note that Hades would physically abuse her if she stepped out of line and she had no way of helping Orpheus even if she wanted to. | |

Left the Background Music On: Played with. The beginning of Act 3 involves Grace and Persephone descending into the Underworld to wrest its throne from Orpheus and get Freddie back. As the songs in the game are all in-universe because of Grace's powers, Orpheus hears them coming by their song, and they duet before Persephone and Grace burst into the room. Persephone starts singing her next line... when she realizes the music actually stopped already and she was singing to nothing, which she complains about. | |

Mood Whiplash: Depending on which part you do first, a comical love song between Hecate and Asterion can be preceded or followed by a tense, sorrowful scene where Grace helps Aphrodite either continue to live or essentially commit suicide. The Throne, which follows Freddie's death, and is a desperate moment for Grace, opens with about three minutes of buildup to a confrontation with Orpheus. If Grace asks if he's really as good as he's been hyping up to be, Orpheus and his Chorus suddenly break into an upbeat and comical ditty that goes absolutely nowhere. Grace then asks another question to get on with the plot already, and the mood swiftly returns to serious again. | |

Prophecy Twist: Apollo mentions that prophecies are open to interpretation, which is why he was against Athena taking it literally enough to kill Calliope. Sure enough, the prophecy that the Idols 'cannot continue' as long as the Last Muse lives turns out to mean that they have to change their ways, unable to continue as they are. | |

To Serve Man | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_bd8b2b0b | comment |
To Serve Man: Referenced with regards to Asterion the Minotaur, for perhaps obvious reasons. When Freddie asks him if he actually ate people, Asterion vehemently denies this... then admits that he did eat Theseus, because he was "a bellend". | |

Tomes of Prophecy and Fate | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_c092a59b | comment |
Tomes of Prophecy and Fate: Hecate's library contains books where everything that will ever happen is written down. Hecate can gain knowledge from them she would otherwise have no way of knowing, such as recognizing Grace from her description after she jogs her memory, but is simultaneously bound by them; if the books say that Hecate only finds out about Asterion's feelings towards her at a specific point, she appears physically or mentally unable to know this before the book says she is allowed to know it. The books are not infallible, however; Hecate reveals that Calliope was meant to die eleven months from now in a car crash rather than be murdered. This is later exploited when Freddie and Grace hypothesize that Hecate would definitely notice them breaking into the Reliquary... unless, of course, it was written that she wouldn't. | |

I Lied | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_c3245c20 | comment |
I Lied: If you choose to give the throne of the Underworld back to her, Persephone says this. She promised Grace that if she got the throne, she could put Grace into contact with the Fates and bring Freddie back to life. Having realized on getting the throne that she didn't even really want it anymore, Persephone feels some level of guilt for it. | |

| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_d08049db | comment |
Taken for Granite: Mentioned as one of Medusa's powers, with Pan jokingly listing "provider of garden statuary" as one of Medusa's tasks as Athena's servant. However, we're not shown it, and Pan is uncertain if Medusa is even capable of turning an Idol into stone. | |

Death of the Old Gods | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_d2a11313 | comment |
Death of the Old Gods: Calliope is the Last Muse when there were formerly three of them (the other six were new names they took), and the Greek Pantheon as a whole has gone into hiding and is slowly fading away. Athena killed Calliope to prevent them from dying out completely. | |

Sympathy for the Devil | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_d3a4af1e | comment |
Sympathy for the Devil: Grace can optionally be understanding of Athena's ruthlessness and desperation, seeing as she is shouldering the fate of the Idols by herself, and feeling that she will do what must be done to protect her flock. | |

I'm Standing Right Here: In the blue path of "Cast A Spell", Grace and Freddie encourage Asterion by pointing out that Hecate hasn't left yet. She points out that she's standing right there. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Apollo is the first member of the Chorus to directly challenge the decision to execute Grace, pushing for further investigation into Calliope's death. Downplayed with Aphrodite. She is initially empathetic to Grace's distress over Calliope's murder, but ultimately capitulates to the laws that demand Grace be executed. It is not until Apollo speaks up that she voices her own disagreement. | |

Til Murder Do Us Part | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_ed371675 | comment |
Til Murder Do Us Part: Persephone strongly hints that she's done this in the past, and the end of Act 1 confirms she did this to Hades. Twice over, turns out, though only once to her own husband, depending on how you count. Persephone killed Hades in the past, and later, Persephone killed the husband of a mortal named Chastity. The injuries she sustained during this leading to Chastity becoming the new and current vessel for Persephone. | |

Dark Reprise | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_f3fd818b | comment |
Dark Reprise: Naturally, in a musical. The song Grace sings at the very beginning of the musical returns twice: once in a Triumphant Reprise in the midway point of Act 3 if you let Freddie go, and at the end of Act 3 as this, sung by Athena realizing that she almost directly caused the death of the Idols, which she tried to prevent, specifically by listening to a prophecy. | |

The Mourning After | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_f6972f9d | comment |
The Mourning After: Apollo is seen mourning Calliope and her death, lamenting how despite her pressing, he refused to change. He mourns Thalia and Clio as well, if not as dearly. Aphrodite never cared all that much about Hephaestus when they were still alive, frequently cheating on him. However, when she was being tortured during World War Two, Hephaestus made a deal that he would forge weapons for what’s implied to be the United States if Aphrodite would be freed and all the Idols would be allowed into the New World. Aphrodite was touched by how much he loved her when she never cared for him when he was around, and genuinely seems to mourn his loss now. The reason Persephone was so eager to accuse Grace is because she and Calliope were lovers. She only really begins to mourn her towards the end of the game. | |

Darkest Hour | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_f91d1d4f | comment |
The Throne, which follows Freddie's death, and is a desperate moment for Grace, opens with about three minutes of buildup to a confrontation with Orpheus. If Grace asks if he's really as good as he's been hyping up to be, Orpheus and his Chorus suddenly break into an upbeat and comical ditty that goes absolutely nowhere. Grace then asks another question to get on with the plot already, and the mood swiftly returns to serious again. | |

Prophecies Are Always Right: Apollo, natch. He describes it as picking at the strands of fate until only one path is clear, but in the process, all other paths vanish. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that the prophecy itself is clear and unanbiguous, which leads to... | |

Merger of Souls | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_fb0382ea | comment |
Merger of Souls: If an Idol passes on their eidolon to a mortal, that human will gradually gain the memories of the Idol that passed it on to them. Apollo implies that it leads to something like this for most of them, with the merged identity choosing to go by the Idol's name eventually. Aphrodite actively seeks this out, choosing a successor who is as kind and empathetic as possible in hopes that it will make her kinder eventually. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Athena was doing what she thought was right under pressure of being the most powerful Idol left and a desire to keep the family together and be strong. Depending on how you play Grace, she can either feel sorry for her or tell her that good intentions aren't enough to fix the mess she made. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Stray Gods (Video Game) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: When Asterion laments his inability to confess his feelings to Hecate, he adds offhandedly that he accidentally killed Hecate's cat. In the epilogue of the game, if you chose either the green or red paths for her, Medusa is mentioned to have had an "accident" with Hecate's new cat. Potentially one for Pan, if romanced. If you have him distract the doorman when hunting down Medusa, he insists that he is a producer here to scope out the talent. In the epilogue, he has actually become a producer. | |
