When it comes to theatre, it seems everything has been done before. Whether it's to shock or offend, the medium struggles to stand out. So, why not take it to the digital realm and embrace utter surrealness instead of shock and melodrama?
Enter PBJ - The Musical, a quirky, handmade mobile game that reimagines Shakespeare's classic Romeo & Juliet through the lens of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Set to launch on iPhone and iPad on March 26th, this unique experience allows you to either guide the story or let it unfold automatically.
The narrative unfolds across ten musical acts, featuring handmade stop-motion animation and amateur Shakespearean voice acting. You can even drag and drop story elements to create a unique rendition each time. Follow the journey of star-crossed lovers, portrayed as a peanut and a strawberry, in this bizarre yet captivating take on classic theatre.

Quirkiness is at the heart of PBJ - The Musical. Your enjoyment of the game may hinge on your appreciation for this unique style. The effort put into this upcoming release is evident, and I'm eager to see how it will be received by players when it hits iOS on March 26th.
Speaking of musicals, another recent mobile release, Adventures of a Cat in Space, shares similarities with PBJ - The Musical. Instead of reinterpreting Shakespeare, it focuses on a cat stranded in space, offering another delightful musical experience on your mobile device.
