PBJ - The Musical: Not Quite a Musical, Coming to Mobile Soon

In the ever-evolving world of theatre, where shock and melodrama often take center stage, PBJ - The Musical offers a refreshing twist by embracing surrealism and bringing the experience to the digital realm. Available on iPhone and iPad starting March 26th, this quirky handmade mobile game reimagines Shakespeare's classic Romeo & Juliet through the lens of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

PBJ - The Musical invites players to navigate the tale of star-crossed lovers—a peanut and a strawberry—through ten musical acts. The game features handmade stop-motion animation and amateur Shakespearean voice-acting, allowing players to either guide the story themselves by dragging and dropping story elements or watch it unfold automatically. This interactive approach ensures a unique rendition of the classic tale each time, blending humor and creativity in a way that's bound to captivate fans of both theatre and gaming.

Eat your crusts

The game's charm lies in its quirkiness, which is evident in every aspect of its design. Whether you're drawn to its unconventional storytelling or simply intrigued by its handcrafted aesthetic, PBJ - The Musical promises a delightful experience. The effort poured into this release is undeniable, and it will be fascinating to see how players respond when it launches on iOS on March 26th.

For those who enjoy musicals on mobile platforms, another recent release, Adventures of a Cat in Space, might also catch your interest. While it diverges from Shakespearean themes, focusing instead on a cat's interstellar adventures, it shares the innovative spirit that PBJ - The Musical embodies.
