Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical Is Available On Steam, Xbox, Playstation And Nintendo Today Thursday, August 10, 2023

Austin Wintory today releases four volumes of the Original Soundtrack for the groundbreaking musical video game Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical. Available everywhere are the four volumes of the Original Soundtrack from songwriter, composer, and Music Director Austin Wintory.
Three of the four albums, titled the Red, Blue and Green Editions, isolate the three color-coded 'traits' the player chooses from among during the songs (co-written by Wintory, Tripod [Simon Hall, Steve Gates, Scott Edgar] and Montaigne).

The fourth album, the Pantheon Edition, weaves together the three traits and also includes the game's original score, also by Wintory. The albums will feature songs performed by actors such as Troy Baker (The Last of Us), Anthony Rapp (Rent, Star Trek: Discovery), Felicia Day (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog), Janina Gavankar (Borderlands), and many more top talents.
There is minimal overlap between the three albums, and even with 4 releases, many of the songs would require dozens more albums to showcase every possible path a player might take through them. All four soundtracks arrive today Thursday, August 10 alongside the debut of the game.

Of the soundtracks, Austin Wintory says, 'Branching, interactive music has posed major challenges on every soundtrack album I've ever done, but nothing has compared to Stray Gods.
How do you release a single version of something that's designed to have many, MANY versions at the discretion of the player??
My number one concern was that an album would somehow 'canonize' a given choice, and make curious listeners think this was somehow the 'correct' version of Grace's story.
So in my effort to escape this, I've gone ahead with 4 discrete albums.
The first three correspond to the color-coded traits the player can choose (Red: the rambunctious and antagonistic Kickass; Blue: the conniving and intellectual Clever; and Green, the compassionate and empathetic Charming). If you played the game by only ever choosing one of these colors, at every of the literally hundreds of decision points, you'd basically get these albums.
The fourth album, which I called the 'Pantheon Edition,' is my personally curated weaving amongst all 3 choices in an effort to 1) minimally overlap with the other 3, and 2) sample a realistic result of a given player's approach.
But the truth is, it would take thousands of albums to truly archive every viable playthru and so in the end, I hope some cross section of the 4 provides a listener with what they're looking for! We live in a world of custom playlists and this is meant to embrace that. Best of all though, simply go play the game and experience YOURS!' - Austin Wintory -
