Well, they can if the combined work is a collection. They also can if
the authors of one of the works choose to dual-license it.
If the combined work is not a collection, well, that's the nature of
sharealike. You can't create a derivative work from a CC-BY-SA work
which imposes extra restrictions. That's not a bug, it's a feature.

If the music or narrative or sound effects are that connected to the
software, why are they CC-BY-SA in the first place? Just license them
as GPL.
Unless you're saying that the music/narrative/sound effects were
written without having the software in mind, in which case I go back
to my earlier point. You can't create a derivative work from a
CC-BY-SA work which imposes extra restrictions. That's not a bug,
it's a feature.
