About This Game

Get ready, honey! You're a contestant on Drag Star!, the reality TV drag competition. You better throw shade, serve looks, and slay each episode to become the next drag icon!

Drag Star! is a 150,000-word interactive novel by Evan J. Peterson, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination (and sass).

As a contestant on the newest season of Drag Star! You’ll prove your skills on the S.H.A.D.E. scale: Smarts, Humor, Artistry, Daring, and Enchantment. Through celebrity impersonation, singing, dancing, costuming, and comedy, you’ll need to be sickening in every stunt to win it all. But how will you steal the show?

Enter the Twerkshop with your own catchphrase, meet your new drag family, and try to maintain self-care and integrity while still playing to win. How will you balance competing and bonding with castmates like Lady Kali, Scandal Dupree, and Dorian Slay? Oh, but there’s more. Not everyone is playing by the same rules—there’s a saboteur on the cast, waiting for the right opportunities to cause even more drama.

Will you emerge as a finalist and grab the crown? Will you own the catwalk and the title of Fan Favorite? Will your wig stay on while you whip it back and forth? And will you be able to save the show from a devilish saboteur?

  • Play as a drag queen, a drag king, or a nonbinary or genderfluid performer.
  • Throw shade, turn looks on the catwalk, dance the house down, and write original jokes and song lyrics.
  • Compete against a diverse cast of fierce drag performers—or are you here to make friends?
  • Specialize your style: villainous or sweet, campy or elegant, classic or avant garde
  • Build your drag family: win episodes together, be a mentor, stoke or resolve rivalries.
  • Solve the mystery of the sabotage—or ignore that drama entirely.
  • Win Fan Favorite or Most Congenial.
  • Join the Abbey of the Perpetually Fabulous, a new drag religion.
  • Maintain your self-care or push yourself and take risks for more fan attention.
  • Make it as a finalist in Season Eight of Drag Star! and win the crown.

Don’t be a filler contestant—slay your way to legendary status!

It's 2:54 AM and I'm crying over winning a drag competition. 10/10 Would get Drag PTSD again.

I literally stayed up til 3 am because I *needed* to find out how the story ended. I loved the writing, the characters, and the challenges. Unlike a lot of these choicescript games, I actually felt like my choices mattered. One readthru: 2 hours Replayvalue: yes

Is it STUNNING? Not quite. Is it a delirious whirlwind of terrible/"terrible" puns, drama*, hilarity, queerness and fun that still beats you-know-which-show nail-gloved-hands down? Yes gawd. Like other games from Choice of Games, it's a little on the short side but makes up for it with plenty of replay value, and it's worth the price of admission for the Catholic-themed drag persona alone. That said, if you've ever dreamed of sumo wrestling in pudding, being zombie Cleopatra or dressing up as an avant-garde toilet... this is the game for you. Theydies and gentlethems, start your engines. EDIT: after some more playtime and some more thought, I can definitely see some patchy bits showing through in terms of acting as a vehicle for promoting the creator's other work, packaging radical queer culture in a box that's less progressive than it thinks it is, and its handling of rape culture - YouKnowWhoPaul's Drag Race still does all of these things even worse though, so this still gets sev...

I've never seen Drag Race, so I was a little unsure if I'd get this game, but I have to say, I just loved it. It's funny and feelgood, with just the right amount of drama. The writing has great flow, and sucks you right in. The choices matter, and arent too vague in what stats you base them off. I've liked many games, but this is the first one that made me feel like I had to write a review for it. Two snaps for this game.

I am not into drag-ing but the reality show concept really intrigued me. Bish, I was not disappointed. A lot dramas, fun episodes and intrigue. I just had fun playing this game and especially role-playing as drag queen. This was really fun and worth my time. It is very well written satirically and plain funny. I would recommend to anyone looking to roleplay and having fun. 9/10 Definitely would dress up as pope, burn hair, and cook wig and eat it only to puke it out. And still win the episode. Hei, you be you.

The entire reason that people play these games is so that they have a choice about how things play out. There isn't a version of this that I can fit into the role of. Frankly, I'm disappointed to see that such a narrow-minded approach was pulled while ironically being about a "woke" subject. Total trash. 0/10

This game was so much fun! The competition storyline alone is great fun, but the element of mystery is also exciting. It was like being on an episode of Drag Race but with more diversity in the competitors. I loved that they chose to play with the gender and drag expressions of the competitors rather than making them all queens. If you like Choice of Games I absolutely recommend this one.

It's very well-written, funny, and a great treat for fans of the Not-To-Be-Named-For-Copyright-Reasons-Show. In truth, it felt like the better version of Drag Race, without many of the problematic elements that make me somewhat quesy when watching the show. One of the best CYOA on Steam.
