PBJ - The Musical is NOT a musical, sort of, but it\'s coming to mobile in a few months

PBJ - The Musical: A Surreal Shakespearean Sandwich Saga

PBJ - The Musical offers a bizarre, yet charming, reimagining of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, infused with musical numbers and the unlikely protagonists: a strawberry and a peanut butter. This quirky mobile game, launching March 26th on iPhone and iPad, allows players to either passively enjoy the automatically unfolding narrative or actively shape the story through interactive elements.

The game unfolds across ten musical acts, utilizing handmade stop-motion animation and amateur Shakespearean voice acting. Players directly influence the narrative by dragging and dropping story elements, ensuring each playthrough is unique. Guide this star-crossed pair through their surreal journey, experiencing a fresh take on classic theatre.

A Quirky Delight (or Not?)

The game's distinct quirkiness is central to its appeal. Whether this unconventional style resonates will depend entirely on individual preferences. However, the evident dedication and craftsmanship are undeniable, making PBJ - The Musical an intriguing prospect. Its reception upon its iOS release will be fascinating to observe.

It's worth noting that PBJ - The Musical isn't the only recent mobile musical release. Adventures of a Cat in Space offers a similar blend of music and narrative, albeit with a different premise—a cat stranded in space—instead of a Shakespearean adaptation.
