The game is an UrbanFantasy revolving around Grace, an up-and-coming musician who is suddenly given the amazing singing powers of Calliope, a Muse and Greek goddess. Unfortunately, that happens as Calliope dies in her arms, and now what remains of the once-illustrious pantheon is gunning for her. With powers she's only beginning to understand and three days to prove her innocence, Grace goes on a coming-of-age journey that can see her shine solo, let someone else take the lead, or collaborate with friends, romantic partners, and possibly enemies.

* RaceAgainstTheClock: Promotional material mentions that Grace has only three days to prove her innocence.

Gameplay revolves around a choices system similar to Creator/{{Bioware}} and Creator/TelltaleGames output, with Red for Aggressive maneuvers, Blue for Cunning, and Green for Charming. During the story and musical numbers, choices made will affect how songs proceed and what Grace decides to do along her journey.
