We all know a real cat wouldn't be nearly so cooperative. Or punctual. Yeah, it could get some stuff done (and let's be honest, this cat demonstrates some top-level intelligence), but it'd take its time.

Hearing Shen's love about overgrown dystopias honestly makes me with there were more soft apocalypses in media. Basically it's a story where the world has gone to shit, but things are progressively getting better. Something that's a bit more hopeful, especially if nature is already starting to come back.

[@sanddry738]

Yeah I would love to see that more! Hope in the face of massive challenges and coming together are always so heartwarming

[@carlhausman8157]

This was a treat to play, and it was a treat to watch Shen experience it, both on the stream vod and now this. It really is amazing what the creators did - they lured us all in with an adorable cat, and then they told us an incredible dystopian story that actually had nothing to do with the cat, while at the same time having the cat play such an important role (as any self-respecting feline would) in opening the city and bringing that story to its close. I am infinitely curious to see this studio's next game.

[@BENergizer1]

Stray has immaculate vibes. The music and aesthetic go together incredibly well, and the animation work done for the main cat is so well done. It's not a perfect game, but it's up there for my game of the year because it hits all the notes it tries to, doesn't thrust a lot of gimmicks in for the sake of it, and doesn't outstay it's welcome. Plus, the ending is so bittersweet and befitting of the story.

[@thisfknguy3243]

One of the few minor complaints I have after seeing this game is that you couldn’t choose one of the cats you hang out with at first to play as, as opposed to just the orange cat you get. Add a little flavor to the choices you have in game. Edit: (ya’ll got very good points. I revoke my complaint about it. All the same it’s cool to see all the different opinions.)

[@CatChaos369]

I also wish we saw our stray meet up with their friends at the end even just hearing them meow to each other 🥺

[@worldeater2414]

Actually this would have made Stray take longer and would have led to a worse experience in game with the complaint of "I can't see the cat that well". While I agree with the sentiment of your comment/statement, I can't fully support the stance you're taking. Imagine if the cat was all black? How hard would it be to see in the dark areas? Game design isn't just the modes and graphics that are shown, area design is important as well. Everything you see in any game like Stray, or any game for that matter, takes time and alot of thought to make look appealing to the eye. Color theory goes into it too, shapes and ideas human find appealing are used heavily. Please appreciate what we have gotten, and if something is missing or wrong request it politely. Don't look at what little is missing, and be upset. Look at what we have, and rejoice.
