Escape from the mundane by playing the latest new release, Stray! Released on July 19th 2022, it’s definitely what we’ll be playing this weekend.
We’ve long dreamt of becoming a cat and exploring the world from a feline perspective, and now we finally can!
Explore the City:
This third-person adventure game allows players to see the world through the eyes of a cat.
Alone, lost, and separated from your family in an abandoned cybercity, players must explore the streets high and low, facing terrifying unforeseen threats. All to uncover the mysteries of this forgotten city and find their way home.
Trapped in a city full of human-like robots and drones, players must solve puzzles and fight against deadly threats, such as the Zurks. Your companion, B-12, the friendly drone, can interact with the world and its inhabitants. All to help you complete side quests, uncover secrets, and unlock memories about the city. With B-12, you must work together to escape and find your way home.
Feline Characteristics:
Developers BlueTwelve Studio used the studio’s in-house cats, Jun and Oscar, as a way to study the behaviour, movement, and interaction cats have with the world around them.
Jump, crawl, high or low, you choose how you want to adventure through the underbelly of the city. Be nimble, silly, stealthy, even experience ‘zoomies’, and all the other loveable and sometimes rather annoying characteristics of our feline friends.
Is Stray Multiplayer?
Unfortunately, Stray, doesn’t have a multiplayer mode.
Whilst Stray may be a single-player game, if you need help solving the puzzles, why not consider streaming this brand-new game to your friends so they can play along with you?
Is Stray a PC Exclusive?
No! You can explore the streets as a cat on PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
