An end-of-summer extravaganza of queer coming-of-age narrative adventure musicals was not on my bingo card for 2023, but here we are and we're not complaining about it! Join us as we explore two games that could not be more different in their tone and execution, but are linked by coincidental parallels in the form of two player characters striving to understand themselves and their respective worlds through song (and maybe kiss someone along the way). Check out KO_OP's Goodbye Volcano High and Summerfall Studios' Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, out now on Steam and PlayStation 4/5 (as well as Xbox and Nintendo Switch for Stray Gods!).

Heads up that our next episode will be out in 4 weeks, as we wrap our heads around two beefy bois: Starfield and Baldur's Gate 3!!!
