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.

Like I was actually balancing mental health, camera appearances, and judge/cast relationships. Every "win" felt so intense, like I really had to fight for every episode. No spoilers, but I cared a lot for all the characters, especially Trigga, the nemesis, and Tyra. No spoilers, but I ended up bringing back the first-eliminated and was sad I couldn't force her more screentime. I'm pretty sure the first two & last two challenges are unwinnable, but I ended up with 5 challenge wins. I loved the reveal of the saboteur. I tied with someone for my third (?) challenge and that person ended up tying with me for the crown. I guess this was for purposes of having a familiar character in the sequel. I wish the sequel ended up getting made, but seems like it won't. That's too bad. It was actually quite a great journey. ### 5/5 — Download immediately *2021-11-16* Such a good game, especially if you love Drag Race and interactive novels. There’s TONS of different paths you can take, I’ve played it numerous times and I’m still not through all of them. You can create your own drag character with numerous possibilities. I was instantly hooked after the first page and I can’t wait for the next game to see what happens! ### 5/5 — Great fun *2021-07-15* A laugh and very enjoyable for fans of a certain famous show. Well written too! ## Frequently asked questions about Drag Star! ### What is Drag Star! about? Drag Star! is an interactive novel where you play as a contestant in a drag competition.
