  Stray Gods – Orpheus from developer Summerfall Studios falls short of the original game Stray Gods. The DLC is a shorter game that contains a more compact and less meaningful narrative, while still featuring great music and wonderful gameplay elements like the original release. If you accept those terms, you might like Stray Gods – Orpheus.

  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.

  Stray Gods: Orpheus is a lovely, compact tale about the nature of purpose and belonging.
