A lost cat, a ruined cyberpunk city full of robots, and an adventure seen at paw height.

On gut feeling, the community places it rather low. The detail adds nuance: what leaves a mark is the wish to relive its discovery for the first time, well placed, and its mood, decent. But attachment and especially controller feel stay low. Consistent with what Stray is: a short, atmospheric experience you go through for the change of scenery and the brilliant idea of playing a cat, more than for the depth of its gameplay. You keep the memory of a mood, not of strong attachment.

Next to other indie adventure games, its originality lies in its point of view, that feline slipping through a world built for machines.

So, who is it for? For you if you like singular, short, contemplative experiences, and if the idea of a cat game makes you smile. Much less if you want a real challenge or an adventure that lasts.
