The exact date that Stray takes place

[@LoveKraken]

These are absolutely mind-blowing levels of detail and research. I'm personally on Team Moon, only because we have no way of knowing if the TV broadcasts are current, and going by the moon puts us more in the future. I don't think it's a huge leap to think that broadcasts in the slums might just be old rebroadcasts of prior episodes. There may not even be a point to updated weather reports anymore. Thanks for putting in this work!

[@8266]

This exactly, the moon is there, you can prove it. It's live. You can't be certain that the weather forecast is live. And as you said. There would be no need for walled city 99 to have a weather report

[@axolotl706]

I agree! :D

[@jesselee8963]

I think that it has to be team moon as the weather gives you the report and then the moon falls into place.

[@jacketofdiamonds]

The weather report could even just be saying "Monday" as in reviewing yesterday's weather, with "Tuesday" being today's.

[@yuriatsugi3696]

exactly my point!

[@rileygreene8826]

This is great, the fact that the day matches up with the moon phase makes me hope the devs did this on purpose when deciding when Stray takes place.

[@maddoxmonteza]

and the game was developed in France that maybe the reason why the walled city is in the northern hemisphere

My 11 year old cat died literally the morning this game came out and I downloaded it! I still can't believe it. I woke up to play it and to find out my cat had been apparently stung by a scorpion during night (in my opinion, as I had just found one days before). She got paralysed, I won't even explain because I will start to cry... She appeared under a bed... paralysed... she couldn't breath well... her mouth went purple... the vets couldn't do anything... she died that morning in the veterinary. It is one of the saddest days of my entire life! I couldn't play the game for like a month, and when I did, I never finished it. Now I'm trying to finish it, one year later.

Thanks for letting me do the music for this video! Such a fun one. Also: Team Moon all the way. In the weather report the ceiling is open and it says it’s going to rain. Why would they care if it was raining while the city was closed? I will just ignore the fact that it was raining the night before when Stray is outside…

[@jacketofdiamonds]

The night BEFORE, you say? As in...Monday, if you go by Team Moon?

[@basecatXD]

the thing is that for the moon theory to be true it would NEED to be in the northern hemisphere. In a sign in the control room, it shows that Walled City 99 is near South Africa, in the Southern Hemisphere

[@phoebeplague]

This video is just a prime example of how rich and well made stray's world is that you can take what should be just basic set dressing and figure out the exact day the events of the game take place without it being obviously stated by any character

[@madmatt2024]

Something you didn't mention is the clocks. All of the clock faces in Stray have 16 hours rather than 12. If something happened to the earth that caused the rotational speed to change, then the moon phases would also be different than the one we know right now, making the "team moon's" claim no longer relevant.

[@sn0wherb]

8 months later lol, but you're right! this is actually explained by the game itself, it was either one of the dialogues or a piece of text somewhere, which talked about the moon and how it decreases earth's rotation speed over time. i'm doubtful that in reality the earth's rotation speed decreases that fast, but i'm no scientist :)

[@HereAfterNow]

The "tv" broadcast could be a recorded broadcast they watch on loop at the slums...

[@1tyrus]

A much simpler theory I've seen about this is that the people in the city just adopted a 16 hour day for some work reason; it's not like they have to go by the sun anymore once the ceiling closed forever. For the earth's rotation to be slowed so much that a day lasts that long, it would have to take place like a hundred million years in the future, since it slows only about 2.3 miliseconds per century

[@madmatt2024]

@@1tyrus I was thinking more along the lines that a cataclysmic event caused it to slow, rather than it naturally slowing over millions of years.

[@buddhafied]

@@madmatt2024 With the kind of cataclysmic event to slow the earth rotation, it will dramatically impact life on earth, and likely won't be able to recover iin just a few hundred years, or ever. We are talking about a GIANT meteor strikes that shatter the planet level.

[@christianatunni]

Probably team moon because the weather channel could be a replay or a recording. Moon seems a little more likely to me, but unless we get canon confirmation, you can totally be on the tv team and I'll support that :)

[@maryanneDB]

Stray really stuck with me. I cried at the end. It was a beautiful, engaging game, and the story was so dark but meaningful! It’s up there with my favorite games of all time, none of which got me on an emotional level! I keep looking for games that have a similar story or feel. I’m still chasing that feeling. Games I’ve enjoyed that feel similar are portal 2, control, Witcher 3, horizon series, outer worlds, journey to a savage planet- I know the suggestions are all over the place because I’m trying to think of games that both capture engaging storylines, likable characters, colorful worlds, high emotional stakes and/or components of a puzzle structure… any further suggestions are welcome.

[@El_FzEq]

Have you played SOMA? Since you haven't mentioned it so I'm assuming you haven't. SOMA deals with existential crisis and [without spoilers] has a certain theme that is very similar to Stray.

[@charliebrown6072]

SAME! I literally finished it on October 11

[@calculusphysicschemaccountingt]

I think Oct 11 on the calendar is not correct because this calendar is outside the safe zoom of Robot. I think that is the last day where human lived or died during the pandemic so they could not tear off this calendar anymore. So we need to star with September.

[@buddhafied]

Disagree. Pandemic clearly wiped off the population in different time; as it was told that there was enough time the upper level citizens to shut off the gates of the lower level as well as for the scientist to watch his love ones died. If people are not all dead on the same day, using your logic the calendar should not showing the same date either.

[@SouIess]

Ummm... do i have to mention that it says he was employee of the month for September meaning september has past and its october now

i just finished stray yesterday and ive been avoiding spoilers from reddit, youtube, and twitter ever since. now that i finished the game im very disappointed because it was such a cliff hanger and ive been searching for videos explaining the game ending. ive watched your 2 minute video as well, the one where you describe the true ending and revealing where stray's home is. im happy that stray got an ending (although is most likely a theory) where they got reunited with their cat friends. and oh, im a team moon. because who knows, the weather report could have been just a replay airing since forever and the moon is much more accurate imo. thank you for this video, you got another subscriber.

I imagined October 11 was the last day humans kept track of time, seeing as these calendars are found in the Dead City too. It subsequently has been hundreds of years since October 11. Side note: October 11 is "National Coming Out Day" in the US and the "International Day of the Girl Child" around the world

[@Woodsballer209]

October 11th is also National Sausage Pizza Day, and National Peyronie’s Disease Awareness Day. Coincidence?

[@kada713]

Thank you! I was so confused when he isolated October 11 for that very reason! Like, those are all paper calendars, and most are in the dead city where the robots aren't, and even the one I saw in the slums doesn't prove that that is the date of the game, just that that was the last day anyone bothered to change the calendar. Which would make way more sense if it was only humans who bothered to do so, and the robots just left them alone after the humans were gone.

[@ironici]

4:21 The plaque disproves this imo. It shows that last month was September. More importantly, it shows that the robots have kept track of months and years passing since the humans died. This suggests that the calendars are correct.

[@KaterynaSerhiienko-t6d]

Idk about the Dead City (we are in a game, where objects are reusable after all), but the paper deteriorates over time and humans died quite long ago, so this doesn't quite line up. Also while typing this a thought sprang to my mind the Dead City became deserted also at 11th October, but like, a year or two ago so the paper wasn't so old and exactly a year or exactly two etc. passed.

[@spectralpeeper]

@@KaterynaSerhiienko-t6d during the zurk chase you only see a bit of zurk growth in the dead city as opposed to the sewers and rooftops, maybe shortly before the cat came the zurks took the dead city?

[@patrickheney9201]

I really enjoyed this analysis. Nice work! My only quibble would be that it says "2544875556 days." It specifies the units as days, not seconds. So the companions have been sentient for 6.8 million years. However, I much prefer the conclusion you came to. Somehow, it seems far more bleak to think that humans have been gone for nearly 6.8 million years.

[@ple8379]

I wrote the text below before watching the video, and I'm pretty happy how my theory worked so well. I just have a problem with the day, October 11th. The same day is also showed in the dead city, where for a longer time, no one was there so it cannot match the day in the slums, unless it's been exactly a year. And even then I'm still not quite sure, clocks don't work, unless each robot has built in clock on their own, or the time is just simply distorted for the companions. I actually think that it wasn't even that long ago before the humans went extinct. In the second scene, cats are sleeping on a piece of cardboard. They're outside. It can only be so much time, before that cardboard deteriorate. I think the day for the robots may only last 16 hours? They're inside the walled city and cannot know how much time passes outside so I think it's not a very good bet to assume that their sense of time is perfectly alined with the outside. Those clocks also don't work, any of them. The calendars are on October 11th only everywhere. I think the robots cannot have even a slightest idea how much time actually passes. They're pretty much constantly waiting. Waiting but on pretty much nothing, and while waiting even for us time seems to be passing so slowly. We think it must be at least an hour, but it turns out it's barely 15 minutes. I think that's what happens with the robots. They think, it was so, so many years since they have a consciousness, but with them not even having a shadow or sun position to look up on, they seem to not have any single clue what time actually there is. My bet is, it is much less, than we think.

That was the best explanation and analysis I have heard yet. Some people are insisting that it’s MILLIONS of years which is preposterous. If anyone ever saw “Time Machine”, everything should be dust with no working tech that far out, and the cats would be way more evolved than the game. My nerd self just chooses to place this at the same time as Titanfall, because it also suggests humanity long since abandoned Earth and the fate of Walled City 99 is the fate of all who didn’t push into colonizing space.

[@maxxsaigen5301]

Ima be honest and say I don't agree with this year estimate. There is another video I watched that explained that the 16 hour clock is due to the day cycle increasing due to longer day cycles. Our days get longer the older the solar system gets. If anything, the clocks and some other tidbits of information prove its about 2 billions years in the future. Edit: Also, this game has a lot of themes of evolution. Our cat in general is seen to be more intelligent and bacteria has evolved to giant eyes which again would have taken at least a billion years to evolve like that. This type of evolution would have happened over a long long time.

[@nachgeben]

@@maxxsaigen5301 fyi if evolution truly works the way science declares, it might only take a couple million to evolve as you've seen the bacteria--something prone to rapid adaptation to begin with--and in Little Outsider, which is marked by his intelligence like you said. Cats are near-perfect in their composition as a regular tabby, black cat, tortie, etc. Dwarf cats and the like would never survive. They'd die or adapt. Most likely die, because breeding would be second to trying to survive, consequently ending in game over. Regular cats, however, are perfect hunters, perfect companions. They could throw a cat from a plane and it's estimated it has a 96% chance of surviving because of its ability to land in a way that mitigates impacts from high distances. Their night vision and stellar day vision, their hunting prowess and energy management, their ability to go long stretches without water, this makes them damn near perfect indeed. So intelligence is the only thing that would need to evolve, and it wouldn't take much. They've already proven cats understand complex emotions and physics. It's just getting them to fucking care is the hard part. 8[

16hrs is probably a thing of walled city's... it could be theorized that it took 2+ billion years, but that is just absurd. Cats would be very different by then and the most likely scenario why the bacteria evolved so fast is because they are genetically engineered Its just impossible for the city to exist for billions of years, naturally after several millions of years, the earths land formation changes which would devour and destroy such long standing citys... that is why humans will never find evidence if there is an intelligent life that exist on earth before humans

[@pwnisher]

Im team weather report. Assuming both could be intentional options since the devs are god-tier… As a 3d artist myself, my first instinct would be to add a moon that simply looked cinematic. Not one that was accurate to the exact day of the game, especially if the “realistic” moon didn’t look cinematic, and was entirely covered in shadow. Of course both could be true. But weather report seems more intentional to me personally. Great video btw! I just beat the game for a 4th time (1st time since my triple play through on release)

[@erikb4407]

I think both the moon and the weather report have strong evidence in different areas, Team moon makes the most sense if you think about realism within the game where the moon is likely to be a more accurate indicator of time (because the report is possibly a re-run, evident by the ceiling being open in the report) Team weather report makes the most sense if you think about realism within real life where game studios would likely choose an aesthetic moon without intent for it denoting the date and add a more deliberate/intentional Easter egg such as the weather report to show the true date. Also, the report's rain and game's opening sequence's rain match up nicely I personally can't decide which team to be on, both are very compelling :( Although, team moon feels slightly more compelling to me from the perspective of thinking about the date solely within the game's world and ignoring what a real life game studio would do

[@Enstrayed]

I think I’m on team moon. The weather report is compelling but as others have mentioned theres no real reason to assume it’s current. Also, from a developer intention standpoint, its buried as an easter egg, meanwhile the moon is front and center at the start of the game.

The video about "Stray's true ending" is really obvious that it contains spoilers (the entire video is about the story's ending, right from the title), so I think it doesn't need warnings, but this one isn't obvious and should probably include spoiler disclaimers.

Here's my thing, it would be the robots never saw what it looks like outside so 3127 would be the answer due to the the sky in the city is closed off to them for the rest of time. but that is my theory. love you video

Wow. Hats off to the devs for the intricate clues and lore. I'd happily pay for a DLC using the same assets. I'm on team weather report, which sounds very deliberate, while the full moon phase looks like nothing more than a design choice. Edit: Read the comments and it seems that the report is probably very old. Moon is the only option now...

Unreal detail! Great video!

[@johnm2012]

I take comfort from the fact that, whatever mess humans make of the planet, cats will still be around long after we're gone.

[@nadyaakins8202]

Wow 🤩 this is incredible detective work and so entertaining! Great job 👏

[@therealwisemysticaltree]

the weather report shows the forecast for tuesday and monday, and the "moon" date, lands on tuesday, so i'm both, team weather and moon, because knowing b12 (blue twelve), it wasn't a mistake nor a coincidence, the date is tuesday october 11th 3127

This is a delightful video! A lot of work obviously went into it and I really enjoyed it. Good work to you and everyone who contributed!

The probability that the moon was a accident is much higher than them putting a whole ass weather forecast with the wrong date into it. Also, its 1000 years in the future, its possible that the moon cicle slowly changed over time.

Im team moon. The tv could easily be a rerun edit: the tv is definitely a rerun You can see the open roof in one of the channels

[@MineWR_YT]

The weather on the tv could be outdated and it cant be fully proven but the moon can

[@Popsicleded]

u r underrated!

[@parkerpresley5800]

Criminally underated video

[@TypewritR]

Another amazing video! I love the editing.

[@RandomyoutubeArtist]

team moon!!!!!! some people on yt are saying the humans are extint for more than 7 milions of years before stray fell into the city, why and how??

[@theroyaljester3262]

The fact that a CAT saved this entire city with the help of a few robots is absolutely crazy also team moon how do they have weather???

[@crowguy506]

And now the open question:At which point in our history did the alternate timeline with the flat screen free world bend of and all those crt kept staying? And there is an indefinite delay when Stray gets imprisoned. You could plug the moonphase shift in there.

[@Emma_Sooo]

Oh do you mean when Stray cat gets put into prison?😢 i remember that part

[@LittlegamerXX14]

Does anyone else not notice walled city 99 like there could be more walled citys

[@RetroMythologist]

Another clue to the year may be in the Zodiac. The dates October 11, 2827 and October 11, 3127 fall in the Chinese years of the Rabbit which.... in Vietnam, they call it the YEAR OF THE CAT (they replace the rabbit with the cat). Those two dates coincide with either the Weather report or moon phase theories!

[@HyenaTeef]

I'm gonna side with the moon, nature > man made intelligence

[@oftankoftan]

sick research! also, this game is one of the best I've played. And I'be played games for 30 years.

Notice that the clocks have 16 hours. In the future, the earths rotation will slow to make the day 25 hours. How far in the future is this?
