What it is
Stray is a third-person adventure game where you play as a stray cat exploring an abandoned city populated by robots and artificial intelligences. The gameplay focuses on platforming, exploration, puzzle-solving, and stealth, with the player helping B-12, a small drone companion, recover its memories and find a way back to the surface. The world is dark and melancholic, with themes of abandonment, loss, and a robot uprising, and combat is limited to using a weapon against bacteria enemies. There is no sexual content, nudity, or gambling, and the game is single-player with no online or microtransaction features.
How it's framed
The game frames its content through the eyes of an innocent cat, presenting a bleak, dystopian world and its darker events with a sense of quiet tragedy rather than graphic depiction. Violence is depicted as a survival mechanic rather than glorified, and the tone is reflective and somber.
