Stray is a 2022 adventure game developed by BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive. The story follows a stray cat who falls into a walled city populated by robots, machines, and mutant bacteria; the cat sets out to return to the surface with the help of a drone companion, B-12. The game is presented through a third-person perspective. The player traverses the game world by leaping across platforms and climbing up obstacles, and can interact with the environment to open new paths. Using B-12, they can store items found throughout the world and hack technology to solve puzzles. Throughout the game, the player must evade the antagonistic Zurks and Sentinels, which attempt to kill them.

Runs well on modern hardware.

It felt to me like a mix of Mirror's Edge (gameplay), Beyond Good & Evil (story-ish), and Silent Hill f (visuals), with an adorable cat as the main character. Easy to play, nicely looking, interesting story. I highly recommend to play it.
You cat to be kitten me! I bought this expecting something a lot more mundane and ok, turns out its absolutely fantastic. The visual style and atmosphere are absolutely impeccable. The music and sounds effects are also wonderful and very relaxing, a pleasure to listen to, and you might get the opportunity to do just that since there's an achievement to chill out and purr while listening to music for an hour. The movement is particularly fluid as is the parkour/platforming which represent most of the gameplay, along with the occasional puzzle to solve. You're just a stray cat out to save a doomed world, and you're doing so with the help of adorable robots. You'll be achieving with elegance, grace, excitement exploring this dilapidated world, and will be thrilled throughout. A breath of fresh air this is. It's a lot better than you think. Play it. it's purrfect.
Stray is just a good game. It has nice environments and scenery, especially considering we're in underground cities. The developers have made them actually look nice, not just dull. Playing as a cat of all things in a run-down city inhabited by robots is a good, unique concept, and the story ties it all together well. The graphics are also good, and the game is better than plenty of triple A games, which considering it's a indie game is also very good. Overall, It's worth a play.
