It's ok if this is not a full-blown horror game it's nice to have something new in the channel

[@stephaniehoyland4901]

Yeah it has cat in it and that make up gor everything

[@mmalinoff5290]

I agree. I enjoy the horror games, sure but it’s wonderful to have variety being introduced to the channel. This game is so beautiful and creative and I cannot wait to continue the story tomorrow, with part 2.

[@tankequn1518]

Same, plus there are cats😺🐱 in it and amazing graphics and artwork! What more do you need?

[@Qishh2710]

Ikr??♡♡

[@Qishh2710]

I love cats (=^ェ^=)♡

[@marcellip3780]

Little tip: the backpack is not heavy. This is actually how cats normally react to a new harness, for example, they literally lay down and flatten themselves to the floor.

[@dangdao8068]

Same at hat

[@marcellip3780]

@@dangdao8068 yeah! you're right, I forgot about the hat, that too!

[@sunnysideup2881]

True! It's what my cat did after i put him some clothes

[@chickennuggies2471]

when i saw the cat just flattens itself on the ground i literally burst laughing cus all of my cats did absolutely the same thing when i put on harness or clothes on them 😂😂

[@yusosrslyu6214]

so true!

[@sonnyaguilar5593]

Mike: I'm not gonna be doing any of the side quests of this game, guys Also Mike: (proceeds to get all of the items needed to complete said side quests)

[@tamsyncranmer87]

I just love how KZbinrs say they aren't going to do something and then do it straight after they said they wouldn't

[@bakawolfboy]

Not that the backpack was heavy, cats even do that with cat harnesses or if you put clothes on them. They walk like that at first, then once you do it enough, they get use to the feeling of having something covering their back like that. I would think that if it was designed for small animals, that they would have it so weight isn’t much of an issue.

[@TreguardD]

I second this. I tried to put a harness on my cat, and he was an amazing drama king. Then he saw a bird and forgot about it.

[@bakawolfboy]

@@TreguardD Haha, most cats are when they first try it out. I had gotten one for my boy too, since he seemed interested in being outside with us. He too forgot it real quick when a car drove by and he wanted to go home. Ended up using it to keep him in place so his other siblings could eat without him trying to get to theirs. So he ended up getting use to it that way.

[@lemonpaperplanes]

We found tiny dog shoes we tried to put on our cat and he hated them but it was super funny for the brief period he tried to walk in them haha

[@pang3nd3rg0d5]

I didn’t know this uhm well you learn something new each day

[@Mafiyajerry]

@@lemonpaperplanes bdjdgncbcmbnfvb

[@vonnieriver]

When the cat gets that “backpack” on, it’s walking like that because it feels weird, not tight. My cat does the same thing; she falls over her side and walks close to the ground if she has something on. It’s incredible that the devs put that in the game. I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw it 😄 if you own a cat, you can see all the little quirks and cuteness reflected very accurate in this game

[@morphoblu4]

This is horror Watching the poor cat fall into the depths of the city. Our cat passes out from its injuries with the echos of its family's meows calling out to it, hoping the cat is still alive. You wake up, and can only assume that the cats family gave up, and assumes you are dead. That, is so god damn sad

[@mmalinoff5290]

I’m so glad that the channel has expanded into other genres of games. This is such a beautiful game, the world and character designs of the robots are very creative. I cannot wait for part 2 to see what happened to the humans and why the robots are in The Slums. Such a cool idea for a game, with a cute kitty lead.

[@SnazzGirl]

Did you know that cats talk through emitting a frequency so high that humans can’t hear it? That’s probably how the robot was talking to the cat.

[@darkninjafirefox]

The warrior cats fan in me is very happy to see people play this! A few tips to stay cool: place a bowl of ice in front of your fan Dampen a few wash cloths/hand towels amd put them in the freezer and put them on your face and neck Freeze a few partially filled water bottles so you have cold water on hand - a southerner with experience in that kind of heat. Stay safe everyone!

[@mmalinoff5290]

As a Southerner myself too. I can state this as very true.

[@jetzedeboer2936]

I got to book 18 i think in warrior cats im too lazy to read more 😺

[@yaoldamanz]

This game is Dope 🔥🔥🔥

[@kylajensen1957]

Warriors cats was my childhood Like if you read those books as a kid, got traumatized, and then came back for more

[@Spamkromite]

This game looks dope. I love cats and the devs really went beyond studying their movements well to give the felines their original grace. B-12 reminds me a lot to the Sewer Shark game ship navigator lol

[@hildabumagat6663]

I think the devs use motion capture to the cats do cat things and put them in the game

[@Isabel-lq3sb]

The game is absolutely amazing, and I haven't even gotten past the slums 😌

[@JojobaNutOil]

SHB: this will be a story only playthrough also SHB: aww so cute lets do all the side quest

[@Gabriel_custodio195]

This reminds me of a film. The humans sheltered themselves underground because the surface had too many toxic gases. The protagonists then try to get back to the surface and open the city when the power starts to run out.

[@monks12345]

ITS THE CITY OF EMBER, I read that at school and watched the movie, it’s so good

[@CommanderViviax]

The City Of Ember maybe? Amazing book and film. There were wars, and some nuclear weapons, and then some vicious diseases. There were some people left on the surface. In The Town Of Sparks they find a town. When Lena Mayfleet goes on a journey with a friend and not so friend. There is a city that is shattered and melted.

[@zerpente3]

I love the subtle detail to the cats movements. Also ever since I was a kid I thought it would be awesome to be a cat & explore the world that way, so this game is like a dream come true lol

[@Coco-tg2pl]

I can hear Mike's talking while smiling right at the start, so relatable

[@jamesnorman9160]

This is a nice little indie surprise, even if I am personally more of a dog person. :p Also, the city itself was inspired by the now-demolished Kowloon Walled City, which was like this city: all these tight little slums built practically on top of one another. And these environments help to enforce that, feeling very narrow and claustrophobic, but as a cat it doesn't feel too small for you to explore.

[@kimarna]

The relative sizes aspect is really nicely done too

[@Aisurusan]

When he said"Because I love cats"my heart✨😌🖤

[@louisturner3792]

Did you know that the first part of the chapter “the flat”… the wallpaper is a reference to the carpet in the hotel in the movie shining. Pretty neat!

[@Scarred_S_Games]

13:52 Mike: "This is my PURRfect game" :) Me: I see what you did there and you deserve an award titled "The best use of a cat pun" award.

[@eduardocarranza4333]

Its quite rare too ever find games like this, pretty long also lots of beautiful and interesting details and such good plot. *They thought of it all.*

[@_random_user__]

Run away from robots? Nah. Play with the other cats? _Yes._ Edit: At first I thought those little critters were robots lol.

[@Croftice1]

Everybody thought at first, they were robots. Might be their single shining eye, it looks like a cam or a infra red sensor or something. Then later in the story you realize those are actual creatures evolving from a bacteria.

[@miguelangelvega7176]

Mike: "I know it's not full blown horror Game BUT it's a game with a cat" idk, this tickled me lol.

[@ryanvalentine2778]

Make sure to enjoy yourself SuperHorrorBro, Stray is an experience after all absorb the atmosphere and dig into the lore of the world for all of us to see

[@namig1990]

MY HEART IS MELTING WHY ARE THEY SO CUTE

[@LonelyWriter26]

Oh my gods, I've been waiting to watch a playthrough of this game ever since I heard it was coming out, about a year and a half ago. Thanks for playing it, your awesome!

[@Stormy6310]

you're* lol jk bro yeah he's awesome

[@shanman3]

I was actually interested in this game when I stumbled on a trailer, really glad someone I follow is playing this right after!

[@angeliqueplaisance4440]

This seems like a spooky game not out right horror but more atmospheric dread or just a dreadful feeling while playing nothing out right scary Also the mostly white one looks like her head is bread

[@moss9642]

Hearing you full on dying for the cats just feels so wholesome

[@ibmuss6453]

Nothing like watching the true king playing one of the games I waited for waaaaay too long

[@suzannerust8658]

The visuals in this game are stunning and I'm loving the gameplay so far. I can relate to the heatwave part too, it's been very warm where I am in the UK too.

[@normalalex6285]

I'm surprised he hasn't played the forest, it's a famous horror game after all, I'd love to see him play the forest.

[@gooferdoo1201]

Agreed, I think Mike would really enjoy it!

[@lemonpaperplanes]

I actually disagree, Mike's shown he typically plays linear horror games which I think works super well for him. The forest is not linear, it's confusing, and it's MEANT to be played with other people and to he completely honest I wouldn't be interested in watching it myself. I'm not sure what the sequel will be like but if it's not the same as the original I wouldn't mind seeing it

I’m surprised that Superhorrobro didn’t realize that the scene of the cat holding onto the ledge is a reference to The Lion King.

[@apersonwhoexists.]

Honestly, I wish one of the cats didn't go searching. One of them should have staying at their home to defend against the zurks! But also, I don't even know if the zurks are outside of the slums.

this game looked amazing! Please keep introducing different games even if they aren't full-level horror

I've played the game and it was beautiful and tragic. I wish to play it again only with more badges and more trophies 😆

I was excited when they announced this game. This was one of this games that really caught my eye

[@kimarna]

Pro tip btw: a fan in a closed room won't make it cooler, and actually make the room hotter from the motor Position the fan near on open window for proper heat exchange

For the tv screens that we see... The ones with the cat faces. I wonder if they are cats or the souls of cats trapped inside machinery. That's why you can interact with them by meowing

[@Lucky_cookiy]

This looks pretty cool! Just the look of the game is very well crafted and you are also cool!

[@X-SPONGED]

Fun Fact : To nail The Cat's Movement Pattern and Behavior. The Devs actually had Cats in Their Office as Research Material. So most of the time, they would just be chilling out in their office and sometimes play with the cats.

[@jacknicholas5697]

Right when I was about to see Dan's playthrough. I'm glad you uploaded it.

[@tankequn1518]

I really like Stray so far and cats🐱😺 too. I've only recently begun watching your KZbin videos and I really like them but I have to say this is one of my favorite playthroughs of yours yet.

[@Croftice1]

The code's hiding place in the bar was hinted in the note on the safe. The bartender said a real geek could decifer it, that geek is meant to be Elliot and when you show him the note with the binary code, he'll tel you it reads something like Dufer Bar, which means the only bar in the Slums. But yea, you can also explore the city and discover the code all by yourself, that's also an option. XD The game has some clever puzzles, that don't always have only one solution, sometimes being curious and do a throughout exploration of places leads to the solution as well.

Ahh how adorable, I'm in love with this game! Tere's just so many details that I appreciate as a cat love. The paper bag stuck on his head, the way he walked when you put the little vest thingy on him, baping things that he's scared of or not quite sure what it is, knocking things over... They got the mannerisms of a cat down to a tea!

LOL. The backpack thing isn't too heavy. He's just being a cat. They are notoriously hard to train to wear harnesses because they don't like having something pressing on their bodies. The low slinky posture wasn't from the weight, but because his instincts told him to try and duck under whatever was pressing on his body.
