In the ever-evolving world of theatre, where shock and melodrama often take center stage, PBJ - The Musical offers a refreshing twist by embracing the digital realm and surrealism. This quirky mobile release, set to launch on iPhone and iPad on March 26th, reimagines Shakespeare's classic Romeo & Juliet through the lens of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
PBJ - The Musical invites players to embark on a journey with a star-crossed strawberry and peanut, navigating through ten musical acts crafted with handmade stop-motion animation. Players can choose to guide the story themselves or let it unfold automatically, adding a layer of interactivity by dragging and dropping story elements to create a unique rendition each time. The game features amateur Shakespearean voice-acting, blending the absurdity of the concept with the charm of its execution.
