I keep thinking about the places in Stray Gods. Athena has an aseptic modern office crammed full of museum pieces and the memory of Old Olympus behind a door. The god of the wild lives in a beautiful but tiny walled garden on top of a skyscraper. The queen of the dead in exile has recreated the underworld in neon on top of the grave of disco (and Dionysus’ fiscal irresponsibility lol). Apollo lives in a fall-down shack on the shore of an ocean where a past version of himself was relieved to find himself drowning, like a sun waiting to slip below the horizon and out of sight forever. They’re half ghosts already

#drives me nuts but like in a good way. what a pleasingly coherent thematic thing going on here. mr gaider well done #stray gods #stray gods athena #stray gods pan #stray gods persephone #stray gods apollo

What exactly does Pan teach you?

So, Pan's inclusion in Stray Gods is weird, right? Not in a sense of he doesn't belong or fit in the story, because he certainly does. But why Pan?

When you think of the Greek gods, chances are you think of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. In Stray Gods, these big names are absent, and here is Pan, someone a large portion of players had never heard about before now, offering you some advice.

SPOILERS AHEAD

First up, mythologically, Pan was the god of the wilds, usually. I say usually because there was no cannon for Greek Mythology because of how ancient Greece works. It wasn't so much one unified nation, but a collection of city-states with shared cultural elements. As such, different states had very different views of the deities, and these shifted over time. For example, Artemis is usually defined by a lack of romantic interest, but Sparta worshiped an epithet called Artemis Orthia, who was a goddess of fertility and childbirth. You can see why this gets complicated.

With that said, Pan is usually a god of nature and freedom, sometimes associated with medicine, sometimes associated with madness and fear, and sometimes associated with music. This is a figure who is hard to pin down.

This doesn't really answer the question: Why is Pan?

I think the answer is his distance from the rest of the idols. Olympus is defined by tradition and the past. It is burdened by trauma, and Pan, the god of freedom, represents the exact opposite. This is a character who is desperately looking forward. He seeks grace out because of guilt over Caliope's death, and instead of confronting that, he runs as fast as he can into the future. He isn't as free as first impressions would tell you.

Ok, enough preamble, what is this song about?

First up, this song takes the "why are they all singing" comment about musicals and looks you directly in the face to say "its magic, deal with it."

But second, and more importantly, this song offers you another choice. Stray Gods is about choosing your own fate, and the teaching song gives you an obvious one. Freddie, Pan, or neither.

Stray Gods isn't short of incredible visuals, but this is by far my favourite. And it isn't what you think. In any other story, this would be the choice between going on the adventure or staying home, but you're going, otherwise, Grace will be killed. This is asking you how you will go about that.

Freddie, identified with small comfort, is contrasted against Pan with the very whimsical imagery of the tree. Freddie represents safety, Pan represents urgency. Freddie represents using what you know, Pan represents diving headfirst.

Speaking of that metaphor, welcome to the waters. It's deep, you can't see the surface from here, and the murk stops you from seeing much other than Freddie and Pan. Who do you choose? Who do you trust?

What does Pan actually teach you? Not much, he explains how Grace's powers work and that's pretty much it. Except for one thing, Pan, quite accidentally, teaches you how this story will work.

Welcome to the world, it's going to be murky, you're not always going to be able to tell what is in front of you, but you can always make a choice, and you have to deal with the consequences.

Stray Gods has such a wonderful cast.

Grace is an amazing protagonist. Her characterization of being aimless but devoted to her loved ones is strong while being flexible enough for player input.

Freddie is an absolute joy. As a bestie or as a love interest she absolutely steals the show in every scene shes in. She is a dork and a butch like none other.

Persephone is fucking majestic and awe inspiring. Easily the best interpretation of the goddess thus far and I doubt that will ever change. A futch queen who murders cruel husbands will never not be a winning formula.

Pan is a fucking delight. A silver tongued devil that is always entertaining to talk to, regardless of whether you romance him or not.

Apollo is

Hermes is so cool. Just an upstanding person who always wants to do the right thing. Some of the best enby rep this side of Raine Whispers.

Just finished my second playthrough of Stray Gods, and I know he's not really considered the popular choice, but listen to me. Romancing Pan is so much fun actually. Is he an asshole? ya. Is he also a sneaky bastard? absolutely.

But while romancing him you start to lean that Pan has been hiding behind a facade in order to protect himself. And he's been doing it for so long, he's kind of forgotten how to be genuine. And at the end of the game he IS genuine, and also a total sweetheart

Also, I am not immune to Pan's puppy dog eyes, they're too much, my heart immediately melts for him

#“you like the sneaky bastard character?”#yes this is on brand for me #i'm always a sucker for the sneaky ones #all i'm saying is give the Pan romance a try #it's really fun #stray gods #stray gods game #stray gods spoilers #grace x pan #stray gods pan
