Stray offers a captivating gaming experience where players inhabit the role of a stray cat navigating through an urban landscape in decay. Set within a city devoid of human presence but bustling with robots, the environment seamlessly blends traditional architecture with futuristic elements, evoking a sense of familiarity tinged with the unknown. As players control a small orange tabby, they inject a vibrant spark into the cold, metallic world, contrasting sharply against the sterile backdrop.

Gameplay in Stray encompasses exploration, puzzle-solving, and stealth mechanics. Players exploit the unique perspective of a cat, accessing areas inaccessible to human characters. Puzzles require clever interactions with the environment and robotic denizens, utilizing the cat’s agility and diminutive stature. Stealth becomes essential for survival against city threats, prompting the cat to rely on its instincts for evasion and, when necessary, confrontation.

Throughout the journey, a bond forms between the cat and a small drone named B12, adding emotional depth as they collaborate to uncover the city’s mysteries. B12 enables interaction with electronic devices, while the cat imparts a perspective of curiosity, exploration, and friendship. Stray invites players to adopt a fresh outlook, fostering creativity and finding beauty amidst unexpected circumstances.
