About this game
Stray follows a cat through a city inhabited by machines and dangerous creatures. You explore from a feline perspective, reaching high places and slipping through narrow passages while searching for an escape. Interacting with the surroundings is part of that journey: some actions help solve puzzles and open the way forward. The small drone B-12 supplies abilities the cat lacks, translating the inhabitants' language and storing found items. Together, the pair investigates the city and looks for an exit. Neon-lit alleys and darker lower areas frame the search, while dangerous encounters call for stealth and agile movement. Exploration, puzzle interactions and avoiding threats all contribute to the route through the city.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A distinctive premise for players drawn to environmental discovery through an animal's perspective.
The cat's access to high routes and small passages gives exploration a specific physical identity. B-12's translation and item storage should help connect that movement to discovering the city, while stealth and dangerous encounters add demands beyond sightseeing.
Strengths
- The cat and drone divide movement, communication and item handling in a way that can make exploration feel purposeful.
Weaknesses
- Players seeking only gentle observation may find the required stealth and threat avoidance less appealing.
Who it is for: Solo adventure players interested in exploring unusual spaces, environmental puzzles and a cat-and-drone partnership.
Play notes: The adventure includes dangerous creatures and situations requiring stealth or agile movement.
