Stray is a third-person adventure game. The player controls a stray cat, who traverses by leaping across platforms and climbing up obstacles and can open new paths by interacting with the environment, such as climbing in buckets, overturning paint cans, operating a vending machine, and clawing at objects. They solve puzzles to progress the narrative, often involving moving obstacles. Optional activities include sleeping, meowing, and nuzzling up to non-player characters, most of which often elicit a response. Some levels have open-world elements, allowing the player to roam in their freedom.

Zoologist REACTS to Stray

[@tobiashagstrom4168]

Least realistic part of the game is that the cat keeps their tail low all the time, so that the camera isn't pointed directly up their ass. Real cats love showing their ass.

This game takes place in the far future. It's possible the cat species have slowly but surely increased in intelligence by that time.

5:15 technically they couldnt really do the hair standing up because there are just 8 layers of slightly "transparent" things with decals to make it look like theres fur, because if they wanted to do actual fur, they would have to painstakingly place each singular hair and animate each single one

I was lucky enough to have a set of marvelous ginger boys...they were the best. The lesser dominant of the two, Jack, used to lay on the living room rug and let my Aussie pull out tufts of his fur! One day she tried to do it to Flap....NO WAY he was NOT having any of it! I miss my boys❤🐾🐱

This was very fun, didn't think of this combination coming up!

[@Kuhmuhnistische_Partei]

I mean, depending on the theory you subscribe to, it's like 6 million years after human extinction. It's actually kinda strange that those cats still look like cats, but maybe their brains evolved in that time and that's the reason the cat is so smart. ;) Okay, I will take the first thing back, it's actually not strange that the cats didn't change their appearance at all, cat bodies are already perfectly adapted to every environment ever, so there was simply no need to develop any changes except the brain thing. ;)

[@Shythalia]

"The least realistic part is the cat not knocking all of those down." That's because you're watching gameplay from someone who just wants to blast through the game without doing every cat thing ever.

[@Cloud.210]

I just started playing this game today. It’s pretty good.

The only thing that’s incorrect is that the cat isn’t napping for an hour

There are areas in the game you can have the cat sleep at, so cannonly it does sleep throughout the adventure.

Make sense why it's mostly realistic because they did use a real cat and the motion tracking for this game

[@Billnyehentaiguy]

It’s not cats reacting to stray, but it’s still pretty great. Thanks for listening gameology 💪🏼

[@higanbana2620]

I don’t know why but cats and me never in a good term with each other,

[@somerandomgirl6093]

Personality maybe? Cats are affectionate, but it has to be done in their terms, and sometimes they just want to be left alone. They will give signs, warning you to stop, but most people didn't understand their body language and get scratched. Dogs are more efusive, and never reject attention. They are more needy than cats, because they are pack animals, and will be stick by your side as long as they can. That doesn't mean that cats are mean, just diffent.

[@mrnickbig1]

Some things are wrong. For example, despite all the streamers babbling about "big stretch", the cat only ever does a half stretch. The tail is raised high at inappropriate times. Turn in place is poorly animated. Other than those quibbles, the devs did a very nice job. The catnip plants are a nice bonus.

next week - PLUMBERS REACT

[@Greg-kw1wx]

Hello William

[@lindybarnes641]

The game takes place far enough in the future for bacteria to evolve multicellularity. In that time, it is completely plausible for cats to evolve greater puzzle solving intelligence. I actually find it more unrealistic that cats still exist in such a recognizable form after that amount of time

[@Holgast]

Please do Planet Zoo!

[@somerandomgirl6093]

The only thing that seems weird to me is that the cat's tail is always down.

[@pizzarequiem3448]

I mean, theres at least a few hundread years between modern time and Stray so cats getting smarter could happen

[@JustinBA007]

I think it would take more than a few hundred years for them to evolve tool use, especially since there's currently no selective pressure for them to do so. They survive and reproduce just fine without it, a little too well in some places.

[@pizzarequiem3448]

@@JustinBA007 Its a postapocaliptic urban area, i think that tool use would be ratter handy

[@JustinBA007]

@@pizzarequiem3448 cats already do extremely well in urban environments regardless. They are great at traversing them, and even better at hunting small mammals that you commonly find in urban environments. As long as there's still birds or mice to kill, cats should have no need for complex problem solving skills. Perhaps if there wasn't much prey and they had to scavenge food left behind by humans like raccoons, but considering that their diet requires raw meat, which would spoil very quickly after humans went extinct, they probably would not last long if that were the case. They would basically last as long as there is catfood on store shelves.

[@Kuhmuhnistische_Partei]

@@JustinBA007 I mean, there is a message in the game from one of the robots that states "We were programmed to be slaves, but since 2544875556 days we have a soul" and that would be nearly 7 million years. Which would be... strange, because a lot of stuff shouldn't be around anymore like certain cartboxes with "Made in China" on it and a lot of other stuff. And cats would've changed quite a bit in appearance, I guess... or maybe cats are just already perfect, so the only thing that changed in that time was their brain. Yes, that sounds absolutely plausible.
