Stray

Started the game crying about a cat, ended the game sobbing about a robot. Immaculate.

Stray is a game where you play as a cat. Just… a regular little orange cat with a tiny backpack. You fall into a forgotten cyber city full of flickering neon, rusted alleyways, and robots trying their best to be human. Your overall goal is to get back to your feline friends. Along the way, you’ll nap in cozy corners, knock over bottles for no reason, meow at strangers, and occasionally run for your life from unsettling sci-fi bugs! Normal feline activities. The city itself steals the show. Every alley feels like it has a story. Every robot you meet is quirky, curious, or quietly lonely. There's no giant plot twist waiting at the end, but the world-building and atmosphere do the heavy lifting. And somehow, despite everything being rusted and broken, it feels oddly hopeful. Yes, it’s a short game, you can easily finish it in an afternoon or over a couple of evenings but that’s part of its charm. It doesn’t try to stretch itself thin or overstay its welcome. It’s the kind of story that settles in quietly, like a cat curling up beside you, and then stays in your thoughts for days, soft, subtle, and unexpectedly moving. Definitely give it a try! <3

I waited a while to review this game, but the truth is, it's one of the better games I've played in recent memory. The atmosphere, characters, and sense of freedom create a perfect vibe, something you can genuinely relax with, without having to stress or try too hard to complete. What really stood out to me was how immersive the world feels. The game doesn't push you in any one direction, it lets you explore at your own pace, which makes the experience feel personal. Whether you're just wandering around soaking in the scenery or engaging with the characters, there's always a sense of purpose. The characters stories unfold naturally, and you actually want to spend time getting to know them. It’s not just about ticking off quests, it’s about being part of a world that feels alive and meaningful. The soundtrack and ambient sounds deserve an applause as well. They perfectly complement the mood of the game, helping you get lost in it for hours without even realizing. Cant forget about "Morusque" either, listening to her guitar strum was always relaxing. Overall, this is the kind of game you return to when you want to unwind and escape. It just invites you in, and that’s what makes it so special.

Stray isn’t just a game it’s a feeling. I felt like I was really there, a lonely cat wandering through a forgotten cyberpunk city, surrounded by cold neon lights and quiet, broken robots. The atmosphere is incredible — melancholic, cozy, alive. The music hits deep, and the visuals feel like art you just want to sit with. More than once I caught myself just standing still, listening to the rain or staring out a window. This game leaves a mark soft, like silent paws on a rooftop. Highly recommended.

Some games don’t just entertain — they touch something deep inside you. Stray was one of those games for me. It became a memory, and a piece of my heart. My boyfriend was the first to recommend it to me — just a few days after we met. I didn’t know then how much this little game about a lost cat would come to mean to me, or how much it would reflect the quiet, beautiful beginnings of something new in my life. Not long after we started dating, I played it. He had already finished it, but he wanted to watch me go through it for the first time — not to guide me, just to be there. And I’m such an emotional person... I cried a lot. And he watched, gently, as I felt every moment, every connection, every piece of that world. Every reunion, every escape, every quiet, emotional beat hit me so hard. I laughed. I cried. I paused to look at the beauty of the world. And the entire time, he was right there, watching me experience it for the first time, with so much love and warmth. Stray is delicate and raw in its storytelling. You play as a cat — small, agile, and completely alone — navigating a forgotten city full of machines and echoes of what once was. But it’s not just a game about a cat. It’s a story about loss, loneliness, companionship, and hope. It’s about finding light in the darkest corners and never giving up, even when the world feels too broken to fix. Along the way, you meet robots — some friendly, some mysterious, others trapped in their own struggles. These robots aren’t just background characters; they add a beautiful layer of emotion and humanity to this otherwise cold city. Their stories make the world feel alive and give you reasons to care. One of the most special parts is the bond you form with your little drone companion, B-12. More than just a helper, B-12 feels like a true friend — offering support, unlocking secrets, and silently sharing the journey with you. That quiet companionship adds so much heart to the experience. -Playing as a cat is surprisingly emotional. The animations are perfect — every jump, meow, stretch, and stumble feels alive. -The cyberpunk world is beautiful and lonely at once. The art direction is breathtaking. Every alley, every rooftop has its own soul. -The storytelling is subtle, but it hits hard — especially if you let yourself slow down and feel. -The music is gentle, melancholic, and perfectly timed to guide your emotions. -The bond with B-12 adds warmth and companionship that stays with you throughout the journey. 👍 Pros Emotionally rich, even without traditional dialogue Genuinely touching and quietly profound Beautifully crafted world full of secrets and atmosphere Cat mechanics that feel authentic and charming A story that stays with you long after it ends 👎 Cons Relatively short (about 5–6 hours) Might feel too slow-paced for players looking for action Light in difficulty (but that’s not the point of this game) 🖤 Final Thoughts Stray is a game about a lost cat. But it’s also a game about being lost, finding your way, and letting yourself feel everything along the path. For me, it’s not just one of the most beautiful games I’ve played — it’s also a memory wrapped in love, emotion, and quiet comfort. I’ll always associate it with the early days of my relationship, with someone who saw me cry over a game and held space for me to feel it all. If you're an emotional person like me — if you love stories that don't need words to break your heart and heal it at the same time — play this game. Let it take you on its journey. Let it stay with you. I know it did for me.

If you are a cat person, this is a must game for you. The story is amazing, cat noises are the cutest and the whole world is absolutely gorgeous. Especially the way they used the light in Slums. Will definitely play it more than once.

This game is a gem. I went into it 100% blind, I thought it was just going to be a cozy cat simulator and nothing else.... I was not prepared to experience one of the best atmospheres in any game ever. From the environment to the music, it is immersive through out its entire run. The game itself is actually very short, you can finish it in about 90 minutes if you only focus on the story, but there is so much to explore and play around with that I'm sure you'll spend more than just two hours playing this game. I'm not going to spoil anything, you deserve to experience it on your own. I will say, give the 100% run a chance, it is one of the more fun 100% games I've done.

The beginning of this game almost made me cry! That's so rare. I need to give this a good review just for that! But of course, there's also more to it than being emotional. Everything is so beautiful and detailed. The graphics are perfect! The cat meows are really cute. You bet one of my first achievements was "Meow 100 times." So much love and care was put into making this cat simulator. It's short and memorable. If you love kitties, especially orange ones, then you have found what you are looking for. Every lover of cats deserves to play this at least once in their life! This review could be longer, but this is as much as I can write about it for now. I haven't fully finished the game, and probably won't come back for a while with all that I have in the library, so I wanted to go ahead and drop my positive review. Overwhelmingly Positive rating is well deserved!

🐾 STRAY: A Purrfectly Accurate Cat Simulator Where I Forgot the Main Quest for 3 Hours 🐾 ✅ Knocked over 87 bottles. ✅ Meowed at every robot like I was the chosen one. ✅ Scratched every couch like I paid rent. ✅ Got chased by headcrab Roombas and still managed to look majestic. ✅ Jumped in 16 cardboard boxes. For science. This isn't just a game — it's a full-blown cat experience. One minute I’m solving sci-fi mysteries with robots who have emotional issues, and the next I'm causing property damage like it’s my divine feline duty. Story? Yes. Emotions? Surprisingly, yes. But mostly: chaos with toe beans™. 10/10 – Would knock stuff off shelves and stare blankly into the void again. P.S. The meow button is dangerously addictive. My neighbors think I adopted 6 cats.

i really liked playing this game! the cat is sooo cute and i really liked the gameplay. some levels were rough and took me a while because i was playing on a keyboard. i later switched to a controller and it went a lot beter. i ejoyed exploring the slums, the antvillage and midtown. it was also fun to do cat things (meow, scratch and sleep). its so cute :)

This is a very unique game that combines immersive cyberpunk style environments with stealth and parkour abilities of a feline creature. The music sets a good ambience for the setting, and the short but sweet story of a cat in the world of cyberpunk is one adventure you do not want to miss out on. Although the price is steep for such a short game, it is even more worth it on sale as every detail, scene, and game play - straight from the get go: gets you hooked. (which is rare in games nowadays where it might take a couple hours before the game feels fun and you get used to it) My only wish was that we could explore the city once we beat the game like an open world style to incorporate some replay-ability into the mix.

Stray isn’t just a game it’s a feeling. I felt like I was really there, a lonely cat wandering through a forgotten cyberpunk city, surrounded by cold neon lights and quiet, broken robots. The atmosphere is incredible — melancholic, cozy, alive. The music hits deep, and the visuals feel like art you just want to sit with. More than once I caught myself just standing still, listening to the rain or staring out a window. This game leaves a mark soft, like silent paws on a rooftop. Highly recommended.

While the visuals are amazing, the story lacks depth and is predictable. The gameplay is okay. To sum it up: it's the perfect game for those who don't usually play video games.

Stray is alright, but nothing too special. I surely enjoyed the game, especially the environments are beautiful and full of detail. It's a blast to walk through the cities and nature and the controls are really good. The story is bare bones but enough to keep you entertained. Besides the previously mentioned points the game does not have much to offer though. It's a walking simulator on steroids, that takes (if you ask me) to long to finish. Overall the game is good and playing a cat is done really well and a original concept. But because the gameplay is otherwise so limited and the game starts to feel a bit repetitive after a while, I recommend it only on a sale.

Stray is fairly conventional from a gameplay perspective. However, playing as a cat in a post apocalyptic robot-centric world is novel. While the gameplay didn't blow me away, the world, characters, and story did. By the time the credits rolled, I was invested in the world and I was very satisfied with how things wrapped up. Overall, I enjoyed my time with Stray and I'll likely return in the future for DLC or another play-through.

This game destroyed me emotionally (/pos). From beginning to end, the story was fully fleshed out, the animation was beautiful and consistent, and the puzzles were thoughtful but not frustratingly difficult. On occasion, I needed to look up something so I wouldn't spend hours looking for something in the wrong spot or doing something in the wrong order, but that was just me forgetting what I was supposed to be doing. Overall, this is a very well made game, with a comforting soundtrack and an engaging story. 10/10 would recommend.

Absolutely lovely game. Spent about five hours on it but you could easily drop a couple more into it just exploring. Highly recommend!

i would neuralyzer myself and play this game again. still sobbing over lil robot :(

It's a quick game that took me only like 5h 36 mins or something like that. So it's digestible. It's also a good game to help you take a break and enjoy something different. I highly recommend it. Story was good. It hit me in the feels. The world building / design was pretty and cool. It makes you think about things. Also you're a cute cat and get to immerse yourself as a cute cat. Just give this game a chance.

A good little game, a bit overrated because you control a cat. The story isn't great, but it's still a pleasure to play this cat. I only recommend it if it's on sale because it's too short.

10/10 I would trip over robot legs and act innocent again. You play as a cat, you meow at artificial intelligence, you can nap anywhere, you commit minor property crime. At one point I jumped on a table where robots were playing mahjong. One of them got mad, for sure would ruin robot game night again 😈. What can I do I'm just a cat Complain? Can't customize the cat to be chonky orange menace like Garfield. But I forgive them Play this game. or don't. I'm a cat now, can't tell me what to do.

Hikayesi, konusu, atmosferi, oynayışı, müzikleri her şeyiyle mükemmel bir oyundu. Alın oynayın

Absolutely glorious game! If you are looking for a chill game that has a great story, doesn't require grinding, and has a little puzzle to it - Stray is one of them. I had such a good time playing it! 10/10 I wish it was longer

Stray lets you explore a hauntingly beautiful cyberpunk city—as a cat. With no humans in sight, you uncover a forgotten world alongside a tiny drone companion. The game blends light puzzles, exploration, and rich atmosphere into a 5-hour journey that’s as emotional as it is adorable. Gorgeous visuals, a touching story, and the joy of meowing at will make Stray a must-play indie gem.

This is easily one of the most remarkable games I’ve ever played. I was completely immersed in its atmosphere and story. I wholeheartedly recommend it — and I envy anyone who’s about to experience this journey for the first time

Stunning environment, great story, 11/10

love it, great game with great contet, gonna do a complesionist one of theese days

great story and world, i want more cat game like this pls

Adored this game! it was challenging enough to be enjoyable but not frustrating and the story was amazing. Love the kitty adventure :)

This is by far the best game I've ever played. The visuals are amazing, same with the story. All the characters have their own unique personality, I'm sure almost everyone will find a robot that they love.

this game changed my life. ive spent years trying to get it back and now that i can finally play it again i'm so happy. it means the world to me

This game is far more intense than I ever would have expected or anticipated. I was expecting a good game based on story alone, but the intensity makes it a great game! Do buy it, especially if you can grab it during a sale.

Where do I start... This game is absolutely beautiful, heart wrenching, heart warming and just truly incredible. I've enjoyed every minute of it. As a dear cat lover, I truly resonated with the feelings of the kitty throughout the game - through sadness or uplifting moments. I am honoured to have played this game in my lifetime.

meow Good game overall though, it was very fun to play it and grind through some of the achievements

Outstanding graphics and story. At the same time, easy and almost casual gameplay, making it a good game to relax with,

If you’re just sprinting through the main story, you could probably finish this game in a few hours. But honestly, that’s missing the point. This isn’t a game meant to be rushed—it's meant to be explored. The world is beautiful, haunting, and full of life in its own robotic way. I'm not usually a fan of hunting down collectibles, but in this case, it felt worth it just to soak in more of the atmosphere. Wandering through the slums, uncovering hidden corners, and meeting these quirky, endearing robots gave the game a soul that stuck with me. It’s a dystopian future, sure—but it’s wrapped in charm, personality, and visual storytelling that rewards curiosity. Take your time. The real joy here is in the journey, not just the destination.

Lovely game that let the player explore and take it easy, also very beautiful

A: You can meow on command, and tear up carpets on your own. B: There was a lot more tugging on your heart strings than I initially anticipated. The puzzles were fun and not frustrating, you actually felt like you were achieving something without beating your heat trying to figure out if you are the problem or the game. The game had a bitter sweet ending that made your journey feel worth it. Absolutely play this game, you'll get a different experience most games do not have to offer. Go get em little outsider!

i read a theory online that suggests the cat actually died in the fall and its the cat's after life that were playing through. which put a frown on my face BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO BE REUNITED WITH HIS FURRY FRIENDS

absolutely stunning game, everything feels full and complete, its incredible, however the animations on the cat do seem a bit choppy at times, otherwise great game

I was looking forward to this game for years, ever since I saw the early trailers, and it didn't disappoint. It is a mixture of cute, horrifying, and challenging. The makers have nailed so much of what a cat would do in this kind of situation, whilst also giving the player a horror/puzzle game to work through, whilst acting like a bratty little cat. It's damn near perfect, although my heart rate did get high worrying about the little guy getting killed. But you soldier through it and it's worth it. After completing it, I'm about to go look up if there is a sequel coming out. If you love cats, you have to play this game.

You are cat. If you want to explore and find every nook and cranny, it took me about 8 hours. Beautiful, chill, and immersive. After figuring everything out, it was very doable to do in less than 2 hours. A little tense, but still chill.

Very cute game, good graphics and the setting is very cool

Amazing story, amazing in game music, amazing aesthetic the puzzles make you think but not overly hard. The implemented enemies are well done, and integrate into gameplay greatly. And of course кот!

Super atmospheric and immersive. Deserves its overwhelmingly positive review.

después de terminar este juego, creo firmemente que los gatos salvarán a la raza humana

FAVORITE COMFORT GAME. used to turn on this game in the high school just to chill in that one apartment with the second floor. Every space in this game is so aesthetically pleasing I CANT! the dystopian cyberpunk vibe is just chefs kiss. so many details aghhh

Very silly game! 10/10 would play again bonus points for a meow button!
